abstract

trichogramma ingricum sorokina, 1984, an egg parasitoid, only known from russia (st. petersburg), here is newly recorded from northern iranian provinces including west and east azarbaijan and mazandaran. the localities and hosts are as follows: tabriz, on eggs of cydia pomonella (l.); urmia (chubtarash, najafabad-e gharebagh, tasmalu, ghulenji), on eggs of c. pomonella and lobesia botrana den & schiff; urmia (mahalanzal, bakshluchai, nazluchai, baranduzchai) on eggs of l. botrana; amol (binamad), on eggs of chilo suppressalis walker. t. ingricum is superficially similar to t. embryophagum (hartig), except for darker body color, longer setae on male antenna, distinctive male genitalia and lack of thelytoky in females. this species is common in vineyards of urmia region where it could be considered as a significant control agent of l. botrana.

horizontal transmission of wolbachia in trichogramma wasps (hym., trichogrammatidae)

wolbachia is an intracellular endosymbiont, which can induce thelytokous parthenogenesis in trichogramma egg parasitoids with the infected females producing daughters without any mating. with regard to the usual transfer of wolbachia which is vertical from the mother to her offspring through the cytoplasm of eggs, this manipulation of host’s reproduction can enhance its transmission to future g...

Developing Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) as a pest management tool

The egg parasitoid, Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), is used extensively around the world as a biological control agent for the control of lepidopterous pests. Wasps are either released to augment an existing population “inoculative release,” or they are released in large numbers to coincide with maximum pest pressure “inundative release.” Field releases however, have had variable...

Antibiotics cause parthenogenetic Trichogramma (Hymenoptera/Trichogrammatidae) to revert to sex.

Completely parthenogenetic Trichogramma wasps can be rendered permanently bisexual by treatment with three different antibiotics or high temperatures. The evidence strongly suggests that maternally inherited microorganisms cause parthenogenesis in these wasps. Theories predict female-biased sex ratio in offspring under the influence of maternally inherited symbionts, but extreme sex ratios of 1...
