The survival of the bee depends on the successful defense against microbial invaders, parasites and predators. The honey bee immune system, like other species of holometabolous insects, depends on two main categories of defense reactions: the cellmediated responses such as phagocytosis and encapsulation of foreign objects and cell-free defense mechanisms represented by the antimicrobial immune ...

Biological control has been reducing the use of chemical products against insect pests, especially predatory Pentatomidae. Species of this group can present high variations in their life cycle as a result of their diet. Thus, the objective of this research was to study nymph development and reproduction of Podisus distinctus (Stäl, 1860) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fed on Bombyx mori L., 1758 (...
