Host Egg Characteristics, Physiological Host Range, and Parasitism Following Inundative Releases ofTrichogramma platneri(Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) in Walnut Orchards

Shiny cowbirds synchronize parasitism with host laying and puncture host eggs according to host characteristics

effect of host egg storage time and wolbachia infection on qualitative characteristics of trichogramma brassicae bezdenko (hym.: trichogrammatidae)

factors hindering the development of inundative biological control are insect rearing costs and provide an adequate amount of natural enemies at the appropriate time. storage of natural enemies is a useful technique to increase time flexibility of parasitoids production, and coincide the natural enemies release with pest outbreaks period, and also could reduce costs of mass production. another ...

Vegetative compatibility, host range and pathogenicity of Verticillium dahliae isolates in Iran

Verticillium wilt is an economically important disease which inflicts serious losses in potato, cotton, alfalfa, some vegetable crops and fruit trees and occasionally ornamentals. Verticillium dahliae, infected cultivated species and weeds were collected from several areas in Iran during tewelve years from 1993-2005 and studied for their vegetative compatibility, host range and pathogenecity. T...

Broadbean wilt virus - identification,host range and distribution in the fars province of iran

Parasitism, host immune defence and dispersal.

Host-parasite interactions have been hypothesized to affect the evolution of dispersal by providing a possibility for hosts to escape debilitating parasites, and by influencing the level of local adaptation. We used a comparative approach to investigate the relationship between a component of host immune function (which reflects the evolutionary history of parasite-induced natural selection) an...
