稻飞虱天敌螯蜂研究进展

稻飞虱（褐飞虱Nilaparvata lugens、白背飞虱Sogatella furcifera、灰飞虱Laodelphax striatellus）是世界性重要的水稻Oryza sativa L.害虫之一,给水稻生产造成了重大经济损失。化学防治一直是控制稻飞虱的主要途径,但长期使用化学药剂使稻飞虱产生抗药性,并引起害虫增殖等诸多弊端,迫切需要有效的生物防控手段进行控害。螯蜂是稻飞虱若虫和成虫期重要天敌,兼具捕食与寄生的双重习性,在控制稻飞虱种群数量方面发挥着重要的作用,然而,国内外有关螯蜂的研究报道仍然偏少。本文综述了我国稻飞虱天敌螯蜂常见种类、生物学特性、控害效果及其影响因子,分析了存在的问题,旨在为进一步开发利用螯蜂资源提供参考。

Imperfect preference for singly parasitized hosts over doubly parasitized hosts in the semisolitary parasitoid Echthrodelphax fairchildii: implications for profitable self-superparasitism

Self‐superparasitism can be profitable (i.e., a fitness gain) when conspecific female adult parasitoids prefer singly parasitized hosts over doubly parasitized hosts. This preference is expected to evolve when the value (i.e., the fitness gain from oviposition) of doubly parasitized hosts is lower than that of singly parasitized hosts. We examined whether such a preference is found in the small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus (Fallén) (Homoptera: Delphacidae), and its semisolitary infanticidal parasitoid Echthrodelphax fairchildii Perkins (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae). We compared the preferences and host values between each of four pairs of double and triple parasitism, each of which had the same time interval between the first and last oviposition bouts. Ovipositions on doubly and singly parasitized hosts occurred with similar frequencies in each of the four pairs, even though the doubly parasitized hosts were of lower value than the singly parasitized hosts. However, the value of doubly parasitized hosts with the first and second parasitoid offspring on the same side of the host was higher than that of hosts with the two offspring on different sides, and the value of the former did not differ significantly from that of singly parasitized hosts. The preferences between singly and doubly parasitized hosts with the two offspring on the same or different sides were as expected from differences in their values, except for one pair of double and triple parasitisms. This exception is considered attributable to an imperfect ability to evaluate hosts.

Profitable self-superparasitism in an infanticidal parasitoid when conspecifics are present: self-superparasitism deters later attackers from probing for infanticide

Abstract.  1. To reveal the profitability of self-superparasitism when conspecifics are present, the total combined fitness returns from the first and second ovipositions under triple parasitism were compared with fitness returns from the first oviposition under double parasitism, using the small brown hopper Laodelphax striatellus and its semi-solitary infanticidal parasitoid Echthrodelphax fairchildii .
2. The total combined survival rate of the first and second comers under triple parasitism with oviposition intervals of 1/24 h (where 1 and 24 h represent the first-to-second and second-to-third oviposition intervals respectively) was nearly double the survival rate of the first comer under double parasitism with a 25-h oviposition interval, although there was no difference between these triple and double parasitisms in terms of head width and developmental time. Under the conditions of other oviposition intervals, self-superparasitism produced null (1/1- and 24/24-h intervals) or negative fitness returns (24/1-h intervals). This suggests that self-superparasitism on hosts that were self-parasitised 1 h previously is profitable when conspecifics are present.
3. When the female parasitoid laid an egg on a host harbouring the earlier comer(s) on the non-oviposition side, she often probed the non-oviposition side for infanticide, i.e. killing the first offspring. When the first and second comers were on different sides, the probing frequency at the third oviposition in triple parasitism with 1/24-h oviposition intervals was lower than that at the second oviposition in double parasitism with a 25-h oviposition interval. This difference was responsible for the above difference in survival rate between the triple and double parasitisms.     

The parasitoid Gonatopus bartletti reduces presence of plant-pathogenic Spiroplasma kunkelii within the leafhopper vector Dalbulus maidis

Homopteran vectors (e.g., leafhoppers) of plant pathogens are vessels for reproduction of cell wall‐free bacteria. These vectors also serve as hosts for larval parasitoid dipterans, hymenopterans, and strepsipterans. However, no study has explored the relationship among these wall‐free bacteria and parasitoid larvae within the insect host. We studied the corn stunt spiroplasma (CSS), Spiroplasma kunkelii Whitcomb (Mycoplasmatales: Spiroplasmataceae), a bacterium that originated from secondary symbionts that cause corn stunt disease in maize, Zea mays L., and its reproduction in the haemolymph of the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (Delong and Wolcott) (Homoptera: Cicadellidae). We also studied the dryinid parasitoid Gonatopus bartletti Olmi (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae), the larva of which feeds in the corn leafhopper haemolymph. Our results showed that when CSS and the wasp coexisted in D. maidis, the development of the parasitoid was not affected by S. kunkelii. Parasitoid development was successfully completed when leafhoppers acquired S. kunkelii before or after parasitism and when CSS had median (10 days) and long (20 days) incubation periods in the leafhopper before parasitization. The presence of S. kunkelii did not affect parasitoid development to the adult stage. However, polymerase chain reaction showed that the presence (survival) of S. kunkelii in the leafhopper was negatively affected by the parasitoid larva. Fewer leafhoppers had CSS before and after parasitization compared with leafhoppers that only acquired the CSS. This negative effect helps to explain the high parasitism rate by G. bartletti in D. maidis and the low presence of S. kunkelii in the corn leafhopper when CSS and the wasp parasitoid overlap throughout their geographic distribution. The parasitoid larva may negatively affect S. kunkelii by (1) producing antibacterial peptides that are toxic to CSS; (2) producing teratocytes that take nutrients from the host for larval development, but these nutrients are required by CSS; (3) affecting, indirectly, CSS through other symbiotic microorganisms; and (4) producing proteins with antibacterial activity that are present in the venom of the wasp parasitoid.
