斑痣悬茧蜂对斜纹夜蛾不同虫龄幼虫的选择及后代发育表现

为探究容性寄生蜂对不同龄期寄主幼虫的选择性及其子代蜂发育表现的关联,通过双选试验观察了斑痣悬茧蜂(Meteorus pulchricornis)对斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera litura)不同虫龄幼虫的寄生选择,并观察了与子代蜂适合度相关的特性表现.结果表明:斑痣悬茧蜂在4龄与5龄之间未表现出偏好,在2龄和3龄、3龄和4龄之间显著偏好较低虫龄;结茧率在不同寄主虫龄间无显著差异,羽化率随寄主虫龄增大而减小,寄生2、3龄幼虫的子代蜂显著高于寄生5龄;寄生5龄幼虫的子代蜂死亡率比寄生2龄的高2.5倍,比寄生3龄的高5.4倍.寄生3龄幼虫的子代蜂发育历期最短(11.9 d),比寄生4龄幼虫的短6.8 d,比寄生2龄幼虫的短4.7 d;子代蜂体型大小在寄生的寄主虫龄间无显著差异.根据研究结果推测,斑痣悬茧蜂在寄生时可能不是根据寄主龄期来评价寄主品质,而是基于寄主体型大小进行评价.     

几种因子对马尼拉侧沟茧蜂寄生效能的影响

马尼拉侧沟茧蜂Microplitis manilae是斜纹夜蛾Spodoptera litura的一种重要幼虫寄生蜂。本文以斜纹夜蛾2龄幼虫为寄主,在26±1℃、RH 65%±5%、L：D=12:12的人工气候箱内,研究生殖方式、雌蜂日龄、寄生时间段、雄蜂出现与否以及雄蜂密度等因子对其寄生效能的影响。结果表明：马尼拉侧沟茧蜂可营产雄孤雌生殖和两性生殖两种生殖方式,两种方式在亲代寄生率、子代羽化率和发育历期均无显著差异。随着雌蜂日龄的增加,其寄生率和子代性比显著降低,但子代发育历期随雌蜂日龄的增加而延长。马尼拉侧沟茧蜂在12:00-18:00时间段的寄生率、子代羽化率和性比最高,子代发育历期最短。当寄生蜂密度一定时,子代性比随着寄主密度的增加而显著增加;当寄主密度一定时,子代性比随着寄生蜂密度的增加而显著下降;雄蜂在场时,子代性比显著高于无雄蜂在场时。子代性比随着亲代雄蜂密度的增加而显著降低,但雄蜂密度对亲代寄生率,子代羽化率、发育历期无显著影响。     

管氏肿腿蜂不同类型种蜂的繁蜂效果研究

经连续多代利用中间寄主黄粉甲人工扩繁管氏肿腿蜂后,种蜂出现一定退化,主要表现为寄生率和寄生成功率下降、单管出蜂量减少、子代蜂体型趋小等等。种蜂退化与繁育寄主的营养状况、种蜂保藏条件和接蜂繁育条件等因素有关。本研究根据设定的形态差异标准把种蜂划分为Ⅰ型、Ⅱ型、Ⅲ型种蜂,将3种类型种蜂分别进行繁育试验,统计比较各型种蜂的母代寄生率、寄生成功率、单管出蜂量、子代性比、存活率等参数,确定在人工扩繁应选用的种蜂类型。结果表明:Ⅰ型种蜂经50 d的适宜条件保藏后,以3∶1蜂虫比接蜂繁育,繁育效果更佳。     

斑痣悬茧蜂在黏虫寄主体内与中红侧沟茧蜂竞争下的存活和发育表现

【目的】不同种寄生蜂在同一小生境中可能寄生同一共享寄主。本研究旨在为认识寄生蜂种间互作关系,并为科学评价寄生性天敌控害效应提供依据。【方法】在室内以单寄生性斑痣悬茧蜂Meteorus pulchricornis(Wesmael)和中红侧沟茧蜂Microplitis mediator(Halidy)及其寄主黏虫Mythimna separata(Walker)低龄幼虫为材料,以寄生顺序和间隔时间为因素进行种间寄生竞争效应实验,观察比较两种蜂的存活和斑痣悬茧蜂子代的发育历期、体型大小和寿命等发育参数。【结果】不同寄生顺序和间隔时间组合处理下斑痣悬茧蜂子代蜂存活率始终高于中红侧沟茧蜂,且先寄生的斑痣悬茧蜂子代存活率高于后寄生的蜂,提前24 h寄生的斑痣悬茧蜂子代存活率可高达96.7%。当斑痣悬茧蜂先于中红侧沟茧蜂寄生时,其子代幼虫发育历期比单独寄生(对照)时显著延长;当后于中红侧沟茧蜂寄生时,其子代幼虫发育历期与单独寄生时无显著差异。各竞争处理下,斑痣悬茧蜂子代成虫寿命均长于单独寄生的子代成虫;子代成虫后足胫节长度与单独寄生相比明显缩短。【结论】结果说明,斑痣悬茧蜂在黏虫低龄幼虫体内与中红侧沟茧蜂的竞争中占有优势,但竞争对斑痣悬茧蜂子代生长发育具有负面影响。     

班氏跳小蜂对寄主龄期选择的研究

班氏跳小蜂Aenasiusbam bawalei Hayat是扶桑绵粉蚧Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley的优势种寄生蜂。本文研究了在限制选择和自由选择的条件下,扶桑绵粉蚧的2龄若虫、3龄若虫和雌成虫对该蜂的寄生率、发育历期、子代性比和个体大小的影响。结果表明:在两种选择条件下,班氏跳小蜂对扶桑绵粉蚧3龄若虫的寄生率显著高于对雌成虫和2龄若虫的寄生率,但寄生粉蚧雌成虫的子代雌雄性比显著高于寄生3龄若虫或2龄若虫的性比;在两种选择条件下,雌蜂在寄主三种虫龄(态)上的发育历期差异不显著,但是雄蜂在粉蚧雌成虫中的发育历期显著长于寄生2龄若虫或3龄若虫的发育历期;在两种选择条件下,寄生于粉蚧雌成虫的子代雌蜂和雄蜂的个体都是最大,其后足胫节长度显著长于寄生于2龄若虫或3龄若虫的子代胫节的长度。     

人工扩繁管氏肿腿蜂的蜂种复壮研究

利用中间寄主黄粉甲Tenebrio molitor L.蛹大量扩繁管氏肿腿蜂Scleroderma guani Xiao et Wu经多代后寄生效果下降,系由蜂种退化所致:利用一种中间寄主导致蜂种的营养来源单一;采用同一种群的蜂及较低的蜂虫比造成近亲繁殖。据此设计复壮措施:利用自然寄主回接、杂交和控制交尾方式。结果表明:(1)回接1代,其子代蜂种的寄生率和寄生成功率分别提高26%和28%~33%。(2)用外缘蜂种与本群蜂种杂交,其子代蜂的发育历期比对照少4d,寄生率和寄生成功率分别提高22%和17%。(3)控制交尾方式促进蜂种复壮。     

不同虫蜂量对管氏肿腿蜂繁育效果的影响

平均单管出蜂量、子代蜂的平均千头重和平均体长是评价管氏肿腿蜂Scleroderma guani Xiao et Wu人工繁育效果的三项重要指标.试验测定并分析了利用青杨天牛Saperda populnea幼虫作为中间寄主繁育管氏肿腿蜂时,在不同虫蜂量条件下对这三项指标的影响,结果显示:接蜂时选用的种蜂与寄主的量对繁蜂效果存在不同影响,种蜂量对出蜂量无显著影响,对子代雌蜂千头重和体长均存在显著影响;寄主量对出蜂量、子代雌蜂千头重和体长影响显著.繁蜂生产中,采用规格为12mm×50mm指形管繁蜂时,多选用5只青杨天牛幼虫和4～5头种蜂.也可以根据防治实际中目标害虫的虫口密度及单株放蜂数量来确定每管的接入寄主数和种蜂数.     

短时高温胁迫对斑痣悬茧蜂发育指标的影响

全球气候变化不仅包括平均气温上升,而且诸如热浪的极端天气事件出现的频率和程度也增大。寄生蜂虽在寄主体内完成生长发育,也会受到极端气温的影响。为探究短时高温对寄生性天敌斑痣悬茧蜂(Meteorus pulchricornis)幼虫发育表现的影响,以斜纹夜蛾(Spodoptera litura)幼虫为寄主,分别对1—6日龄子代蜂进行39℃、持续4h的高温胁迫处理,以发育全程进行适温(昼29℃、夜26℃)处理为对照,观察子代存活、发育历期、羽化和成虫寿命等发育指标。高温胁迫处理1日和5日龄子代蜂幼虫使幼虫存活率下降,与对照相比分别降低36.1%和28.6%;高温胁迫可延长子代蜂幼虫发育历期,与对照相比,高温处理2、3、5日和6日龄子代蜂幼虫使幼虫发育历期分别延长了5.0%,5.2%,7.0%和12.1%;高温胁迫处理5、6日龄子代蜂幼虫使羽化出的成虫体型(用后足胫节长度表示)比对照分别减小1.8%和2.6%。高温胁迫处理对子代蜂蛹发育历期、羽化率以及成虫寿命等均没有显著影响。研究结果说明,短时高温胁迫对斑痣悬茧蜂高龄幼虫的负面影响比对低龄幼虫大。     

繁育川硬皮肿腿蜂替代寄主的筛选

在室内用直接接蜂和药物麻醉寄主后接蜂的方法,对杉棕天牛Callidium villosulumFairmaire、粗鞘双条杉天牛Semanotus sinoauster Gressitt、苹眼天牛Bacchisa dioica (Fairmaire)、星天牛Anoplophora chinensis (Forster)、玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée)、大螟Sesamia inferens (Walker)、桃蛀螟Dichocrocispunctiferalis Guenée、鞭角华扁叶蜂Chinolyda flagellicornis（Smith）、家蝇Musca domestica vicina Macquart和黄粉甲Tenebrio molitor L. 等10种昆虫作为川硬皮肿腿蜂Scleroderma sichuanensis Xiao繁蜂替代寄主的适合性进行了系统的测试,比较了川硬皮肿腿蜂在不同供试寄主上的寄生率、出蜂率、发育历期、后代的雌性比率、寄生繁殖能力和冷藏对成蜂存活的影响。结果表明,不同寄主及寄主的不同处理间只有寄生率和出蜂率两项指标可能有显著差异,能反映繁蜂寄主的适合性。据此,从10种供试寄主中筛选出黄粉甲和玉米螟两种优良的繁蜂替代寄主,为该蜂的大规模繁殖及应用奠定了基础。     

Response ofChelonus blackburni [Hym.: Braconidae] to different ages and densities of potato tuber moth eggs

The response of an efficient egg-larval parasitoidChelonus blackburni Cameron to different ages and densities of potato tuber mothPhthorimaea operculella (Zeller) eggs was studied in a laboratory system. The parasitoid accepted 0–1, 1–2 and 2–3 day old eggs for parasitization. However, the eggs belonging to the first two age groups were significantly more acceptable when compared to the last age group. At low host density levels of 2 and 5 eggs per parasitoid, parasitoid emergence was zero. On increasing the host density, percent progeny production increased till a plateau was reached at a parasitoid-host ratio of 1∶50. This ratio thus proves to be ideal for obtaining maximum percent progeny production in the case of 0–1 and 1–2 day old eggs. Further increase in host density did not result in any significant increase in percent progeny production.      

Oppositional responses to host density in Aphytis holoxanthus (Hymenoptera: Aphefinidae), an efficient gregarious parasite

Abstract. 1. Ovipositional responses of an efficient gregarious ectoparasite ( Aphytis holoxanthus ) to increasing densities of its host (the Florida red scale, Chrysomphalus aonidum , Homoptera: Diaspididae) were studied in a laboratory system.
2. The female parasite may lay one to several eggs at each encounter with a host.
3. As host density increased, the number of eggs laid by the female parasite during the experimental period increased at a decreasing rate. This type of functional response resulted in less parasitism at higher host densities.
4. As host density increased, the number of eggs laid per encounter decreased. This behavioural response partially compensated for the decrease in parasitism.     

Effects of Some Pesticides on Development of Ascaris suum Eggs

To evaluate the effects of pesticides to parasite eggs, Ascaris suum eggs were incubated with 5 different pesticides (1:1,500-1:2,000 dilutions of 2% emamectin benzoate, 5% spinetoram, 5% indoxacarb, 1% deltamethrin, and 5% flufenoxuron; all v/v) at 20℃ for 6 weeks, and microscopically evaluated the egg survival and development on a weekly basis. The survival rate of A. suum eggs incubated in normal saline (control eggs) was 90±3% at 6 weeks. However, the survival rates of eggs treated with pesticides were 75-85% at this time, thus significantly lower than the control value. Larval development in control eggs commenced at 3 weeks, and 73±3% of eggs had internal larvae at 6 weeks. Larvae were evident in pesticide-treated eggs at 3-4 weeks, and the proportions of eggs carrying larvae at 6 weeks (36±3%-54±3%) were significantly lower than that of the control group. Thus, pesticides tested at levels similar to those used in agricultural practices exhibited low-level ovicidal activity and delayed embryogenesis of A. suum eggs, although some differences were evident among the tested pesticides.     

Limitation of superparasitism by Aphidius rhopalosiphi: a consequence of aphid defensive behaviour

Abstract. 1. The behavioural mechanisms limiting superparasitism by Aphidius rhopalosiphi (DeStefani-Perez) are described.
2. A.rhopalosiphi did not discriminate between parasitized and unparasitized aphids, or avoid attacking and ovipositing in previously parasitized aphids.
3. Aphid defensive behaviour was increased for a short period after a parasite stabbing attack. In response to this behaviour the number of parasite stabbing attacks subsequently undertaken declined.
4. Once a stabbing attack had been initiated, parasite oviposition success was unaffected by aphid defensive behaviour.
5. It is concluded that applied defensive behaviour, by limiting the number of stabbing attacks undertaken by A.rhopalusiphi , effectively limits the number of parasite eggs laid and the extent to which super parasitism occurs.     

Development of human and mouse strain of Hymenolepis nana in mice

Ferretti G., Gabriele F. and Palmas C. 1981. Development of human and mouse strain of Hymenolepis nana in mice. International Journal for Parasitology11: 425–430. An Hymenolepis nana strain isolated from human faeces was transferred in the mouse. At first, the q ratio (the number of parasites to the number of eggs used) was very low. After 10 passages adaptation was complete: when mice of different age and strain (CD₁ and BDF₁) were infected with eggs of the above strain and eggs of 2 different murine strains, no differences emerged in the q ratio or in the parasite mean dry weight. Survival also appeared the same in the 3 parasite strains, however, human and murine strains live for a shorter time in BDF₁ than in CD₁ mice. Discussion bears on the hypothesis that the difficulties that emerge during the first passages may be connected to the adult and not to the larval phase.     

Superparasitism ofEpilachna varivestis [Col.: Coccinellidae] byPediobus foveolatus [Hym.: Eulophidae]: Influence of temperature and parasitoid-host ratio

Superparasitism ofEpilachna varivestis Mulsant larvae by the hymenopterous parasitoid,Pediobius foveolatus (Crawford), occurred under laboratory conditions. However,P. foveolatus avoided previously parasitized larvae in a manner which was directly related to the number of times host larvae were initially parasitized. Increasing the parasitoid-host ratio also increased percent host mortality and highest overall host mortality occurred at 15.6°C when the parasitoid-host ratio was 10∶10. Higher temperatures (22° and 28°C) and higher parasitoid-host ratios yielded higher numbers of parasitized larvae although a significant number of parasitoids failed to emerge at the highest parasitoid-host ratio. Higher temperatures along with increasing parasitoid-host ratios favored production of more male parasitoids.     

Effects of male-female rations on mating and egg production in Octomyomermis muspratti (Mermithidae: Nematoda)

Octomyomermis muspratti, a mermithid parasite of mosquito larvae, molted to the adult stage in 4–16 days. When male-female ratios were relatively high (1:2), mating and oviposition began soon after maturation, and oviposition was completed in 21–40 days. The number of females developing eggs increased with a corresponding increase in the male-female ratio. About 60% of the females completed oviposition at male-female ratios of 1:20, and about 100% completed oviposition as the male-female ratios were increased to 1:2. No egg development was observed in the absence of males. Male O. muspratti were capable of mating with a number of females and remained reproductively active for at least 50 days after a maturation at 26–28°C.     

春尺蠖生物学特性研究

【目的】为新疆北疆地区春尺蠖Apocheima cinerarius预测预报工作提供理论依据。【方法】本文在林间对春尺蠖的各虫态进行详细调查,记述了各虫态的形态特征、生活史、性比、行为与习性。【结果】春尺蠖蛹主要集中分布在树盘基部30~60 cm、土壤深度为20~30 cm范围的土层中,成虫羽化后,次日19:00—23:00或第3天下午4:00—6:00交尾,其交配行为是多次交配型。雌虫比雄虫羽化稍早,雌虫平均寿命为16~18 d,雄虫平均寿命为8~13 d。翌日黄昏开始产卵,卵期最长34 d,最短26 d,雌虫每天平均产卵块数最高达5.1块/头、平均卵粒数为363.1粒/头,最低为1块/头、平均卵粒数为86粒/头,平均孵化率为86%。1、2龄幼虫食叶量较低,3龄开始暴增,5龄最高,平均每日食叶量可达443 mm2/头。【结论】春尺蠖成虫按翅面斑纹和颜色,可分三种类型:深色型、常见型、浅色型。幼虫的头壳与虫龄呈显著直线正相关。幼虫1~2龄期间,死亡率较高,高达60.37%;4~5龄幼虫,死亡率较低,且食叶量占总食叶量的85.81%。所以应选择在3龄幼虫高峰期之前进行防治。雌雄比为1︰0.7068,可预测下一代种群数量呈上升趋势。     

Functional response to host density by the egg parasiteTrichogramma pretiosum

The effect of host density on parasitism byTrichogramma pretiosum Riley was studied by exposing groups of 150, 300, 600 or 1200 eggs of potato tuber moth to 2, 4 or 8 female parasites per group. The parasite exhibited a type 2 functional response. As host density increasedT. pretiosum parasitised more hosts, but at a decreasing rate. The attack coefficient (a′) decreased as parasite density increased, whereas the handling time (T _h ) remained almost constant. The search rate (a) decreased with increasing host density.T. pretiosum responded to increasing host density by increasing the number of its encounters with hosts and the number of hosts it parasitised only up to host density of 300 when the parasite density was 2 and up to host density of 600 when the parasite densities were greater and then remained almost constant. The observed incidence of parasitism was higher than that expected on the assumption that the parasites behaved the same at higher host densities as at the lowest. When parasite density was raised from 2 to 8 females per group the percentage of female progeny fell from about 73 to about 48%. A 2-fold increase in the number of female progeny was observed when parasite density was reduced from 8 to 2 and also when the host density was raised from 150 to 1200 eggs.     

Immune expulsion of the trichostrongylid Cooperia oncophora is associated with increased eosinophilia and mucosal IgA

Previous experiments have shown that a primary infection with 100000 infective larvae of the trichostrongylid Cooperia oncophora allows discrimination between different type of responder animals based on the speed by which the parasite is expelled from the host. In most of the animals (intermediate responders) the expulsion occurs 35-42 days after infection. This experiment was carried out to investigate which mechanisms contribute to the clearance of the parasite from the intestine. Sequential necropsy of the animals 14, 28 and 42 days after infection together with a segmental division of the small intestine, allowed us to characterise essential components associated with development of immunity and expulsion of the parasite from its niche. The results show that during the patent phase of the infection the parasite preferentially resides in the proximal gut. Forty-two days after infection ongoing expulsion is characterised by a migration of the worms to the more distal part of the intestine. Expulsion of the adult worm population appears to be mast-cell independent and is associated with a significant increase in parasite-specific mucous IgA and IgG1 as well as with an influx of eosinophils in the intestinal lamina propria. Although we did not observe a specific lymphocyte recruitment into the intestinal mucosa, the accumulation of eosinophils seems to be mediated by CD4+ cells. We measured significant negative correlations between the number of eosinophils and the expulsion rate of the parasite expressed by sex ratio and ratio eggs per gram faeces. Parasite-specific mucosal IgA levels were negatively correlated to the fecundity of the worms, expressed as number of eggs per female worm. Our results describe the involvement of both eosinophils and mucosal IgA in the regulation of C. oncophora expulsion and suggest the development of a Th2 effector immune response.
