There is relatively little information available concerning the physiological and biochemical interactions between whiteflies and their parasitoids. In this report, we describe interactions between aphelinid parasitoids and their aleyrodid hosts that we have observed in four host-parasite systems: Bemisia tabaci/Encarsia formosa, Trialeurodes vaporariorum/E. formosa, B. tabaci/Eretmocerus mundu...

Se estudió el efecto del tipo de manejo cultivo sobre parasitismo Aleurothrixus floccosus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Los parasitoides estudiados fueron: Cales noacki (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae), Eretmocerus paulistus Amitus spiniferus Platygastridae) y hiperparasitoide Signiphora sp.(Hymenoptera: Signiphoridae). El estudio se realizó en Oasis Pica, ubicado Desierto Atacama, Región Tarapacá, Chile...

Eretmocerus warrae (Naumann and Schimdt) is a thelytokous aphelinid parasitoid of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood). It was first detected in New Zealand in 1997 during a survey of greenhouses in Auckland. We investigated the effects of certain duration of food and host deprivation after emergence on feeding, oviposition behavior and egg resorption of E. warrae with ...
