腰带长体茧蜂寄生对亚洲玉米螟幼虫体内酚氧化酶活性的影响

通过对被腰带长体茧蜂Macrocentrus cingulum Brischke寄生的5龄亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée幼虫体内不同组织中酚氧化酶活性的测定,采用体外注射腰带长体茧蜂雌性成蜂的萼液成分、毒液成分、萼液与毒液混合物的方法,研究了寄生蜂各种主要生理因子对寄主血清中酚氧化酶活性的影响。结果表明： 寄生蜂寄生可明显抑制寄主体内的酚氧化酶活性,减少黑色素产生;被寄生组FITC标记的血细胞阳性百分率低于未被寄生组,差异极显著( P<0.01）;萼液成分可明显地抑制亚洲玉米螟幼虫血清中酚氧化酶的活性 （P<0.01）;萼液与毒液混合物对酚氧化酶活性也有明显抑制作用（P<0.01）。研究认为寄生蜂产卵时注入的萼液、毒液可对寄主昆虫酚氧化酶活性产生明显的抑制作用,其中萼液是抑制寄主免疫能力的主要因素。     

平腹小蜂Anastatus sp.个体发育与马尾松毛虫胚胎发育的相互影响

在28℃恒温下,松毛虫的胚胎发育期为7—8天;平腹小蜂的个体发育周期为19天左右,其中胚胎期约2天。如果松毛虫在产卵后12小时,胚胎发育到盘形成期以后,被平腹小蜂寄生,则胚盘在半小时内解体离散成匀质;产卵后约36小时,胚带形成后被寄生,经约5—12小时,胚带开始破坏而逐渐解体离散成为小颗粒;松毛虫胚胎发育到胚动以后,甚至将近孵化时,仍可被平腹小蜂寄生,并将离散后的寄主胚胎组织吞食殆尽,发育成蜂,破卵壳出来。在松毛虫胚胎发育早期被寄生,卵粒寄生率高,蜂的成活率也高,反之则低。 同一寄主卵可被一头或多头平腹小蜂复寄生。一粒寄主卵内的寄生蜂卵可达9粒,但最后只羽化一头蜂。     

核型多角体病毒与侧沟茧蜂对斜纹夜蛾幼虫的协同作用

研究了斜纹夜蛾幼虫体内的斜纹夜蛾侧沟茧蜂存活率、发育历期、寄主感染病毒时间、病毒浓度之间的关系,并测定了斜纹夜蛾侧沟茧蜂的传毒效率．结果表明,病毒对寄主体内寄生蜂历期无明显影响,寄生在幼虫体内的寄生蜂能在寄主病死前完成发育,存活比例因寄主感染病毒的时间和浓度而异．斜纹夜蛾被寄生后接种病毒(SINPV),距离寄生时间越长,饲毒浓度越低,寄生蜂完成发育的比例越大,但饲毒时间是主要影响因素．从感病幼虫体内发育成的侧沟茧蜂或曾经在感病寄主上产过卵的寄生蜂,以及通过人工方式使产卵器被病毒污染的寄生蜂,均能携带一定数量的病毒．通过产卵活动,侧沟茧蜂成蜂能在寄主幼虫个体间传递病毒．当寄生蜂在感病的寄主幼虫上产卵带毒后,平均可传递病毒给2．14头幼虫;发育于感病幼虫体内的寄生蜂,平均可传递病毒给2．45头幼虫．通过用病毒液浸茧或用混有病毒的蜂蜜饲喂成蜂等方式使产卵器污染病毒的寄生蜂,传毒效率随饲毒浓度增加而提高,平均可传递病毒1．45头和0．94头幼虫     

闭弯尾姬蜂与菜蛾盘绒茧蜂寄生菜蛾幼虫时的种间竞争

在室内25℃下,以菜蛾3龄初幼虫作寄主,研究了菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae和半闭弯尾姬蜂Diadegma semiclausum的种间竞争。当寄主供2种蜂同时产卵寄生时,2种蜂各自的寄生率与其单独寄生时无显著差异,合计寄生率比一种蜂单独存在时有所提高,但差异不显著。2种蜂均能产卵寄生已被另一种蜂寄生了的寄主幼虫。当寄主被2种蜂寄生的间隔时间很短（少于10 h）时,所育出的蜂绝大部分（80%以上）为绒茧蜂;当寄主先被绒茧蜂寄生,并饲养2天以上再供弯尾姬蜂寄生时,所育出的全为绒茧蜂;当寄主先被弯尾姬蜂寄生,并饲养2天以上再供绒茧蜂寄生时,寄主幼虫绝大部分不能存活,只有少部分能育出寄生蜂,且多为弯尾姬蜂。当2种蜂的幼虫存在于同一寄主体内时,2种蜂的发育均受到另一种蜂的抑制;绒茧蜂1龄幼虫具有物理攻击能力,能将弯尾姬蜂卵或幼虫致死。这些结果表明,菜蛾盘绒茧蜂与半闭弯尾姬蜂在同一寄主中发育时,前者具有明显的竞争优势。     

杀虫蛋白Vip3Aa11对亚洲玉米螟及其寄生性天敌腰带长体茧蜂的影响

【目的】本文的研究目的是明确杀虫蛋白Vip3Aa11对亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis及其寄生性天敌腰带长体茧蜂Macrocentrus cingulum的影响。【方法】首先利用生物测定的方法用含100μg/g Vip3Aa11蛋白的人工饲料饲喂亚洲玉米螟初孵幼虫,7 d后观察记录亚洲玉米螟的死亡情况和体重。然后用含100μg/g Vip3Aa11蛋白的人工饲料饲喂被腰带长体茧蜂寄生的亚洲玉米螟初孵幼虫,以含6μg/g印楝素的人工饲料作为阳性对照,10 d后记录亚洲玉米螟幼虫的死亡和被寄生情况,并在茧蜂化蛹结茧及羽化后分别记录茧重以及单个寄主的出蜂量,以此评价Vip3Aa11蛋白对腰带长体茧蜂的间接影响。再者,用含100μg/g Vip3Aa11蛋白的20%蜂蜜水饲喂腰带长体茧蜂成虫,以含100μg/g印楝素的20%蜂蜜水作为阳性对照,观察记录腰带长体茧蜂成蜂的死亡情况;不同处理的腰带长体茧蜂寄生亚洲玉米螟10 d后记录亚洲玉米螟的死亡和被寄生情况,并在子代茧蜂化蛹结茧及羽化后记录茧重及单个寄主的出蜂量,以此评价Vip3Aa11蛋白对腰带长体茧蜂的直接影响。【结果】生物测定结果显示,100μg/g的Vip3Aa11蛋白处理7 d后亚洲玉米螟幼虫的平均死亡率为50.7%,平均体重抑制率为77.1%。间接影响试验结果显示,被腰带长体茧蜂寄生后的亚洲玉米螟幼虫取食含有Vip3Aa11蛋白的人工饲料后死亡率明显升高,腰带长体茧蜂茧重和单头出蜂量大幅度下降,而寄生率及羽化后的成虫寿命没有受到不利影响。直接影响试验结果显示,腰带长体茧蜂取食含有100μg/g Vip3Aa11蛋白的蜂蜜水对腰带长体茧蜂成虫寿命和寄生率、亚洲玉米螟幼虫死亡率以及腰带长体茧蜂子代的茧重、单头出蜂量和成虫寿命均没有产生不利影响。【结论】本研究利用生测体系从直接和间接两方面评价了Vip3Aa11蛋白对腰带长体茧蜂的影响,结果表明腰带长体茧蜂对高于Bt作物中表达的Vip3Aa11蛋白浓度不敏感,Vip3Aa11蛋白不会对腰带长体茧蜂产生直接的不利影响;造成的间接影响可能主要是由于寄主自身质量的下降而引起。     

整合素β亚基参与调节腰带长体茧蜂多胎增殖过程

整合素是由α和β亚基组成的异源二聚体跨膜蛋白, 在调控细胞增殖中起重要作用。本实验初步研究了腰带长体茧蜂Macrocentrus cingulum整合素β亚基在胚胎增殖中所起的作用。用PCR方法克隆获得了腰带长体茧蜂整合素β基因Mcitg-β (GenBank登录号为KC784942), 其开放读码框全长2 526 bp, 编码841个氨基酸, 含有整合素基因特有的多个功能域。Mcitg-β与已报道的昆虫整合素基因具有很高的序列相似性, 系统发育分析结果表明其与膜翅目的熊蜂Bombus impatiens整合素基因核苷酸序列一致性最高, 达76%。定量PCR结果表明Mcitg-β在蜂卵中大量表达, 在初级胚胎及二级胚胎细胞中也有表达, 但在桑葚胚中没有表达。将dsMcitg-β通过体外浸泡法导入到二级胚胎或体内注射法导入到寄主亚洲玉米螟Ostrinia furnacalis幼虫体内后, 可极显著抑制腰带长体茧蜂整合素基因的表达量, 降低胚胎增殖能力, 并减少出蜂数量。结果初步证明Mcitg-β可能对调节多胚发育的腰带长体茧蜂的胚胎增殖起重要的作用。     

稻瘿蚊的天敌黄柄黑蜂个体发育及其生物学

黄柄黑蜂是稻瘿蚊的群居内寄生天敌,常产卵二、三堆在寄主卵或初孵幼虫体内,每堆卵10多粒,每粒卵发育为一个体,是属单胚繁殖。卵梭状,长15微米,宽6微米。卵母细胞两次成熟。在日平均温度29.5℃下,卵核第一次分裂形成纺锤体大约在产卵后10—12小时,第二次分裂形成纺锤体约在产卵后24小时。在产卵后48小时,两个极体在卵的前端合并为极核,雌性原核和雄性原核在卵的后端合并为分裂核。产卵后2.5天,卵粒长大,此时称为寄生体,胚区及包围它的滋养羊膜形成。当寄生体发育至第4天,副核团分裂一大一小两块占据卵的前端。寄生体发育至5—6天,就变为圆形,胚核由一个分裂为2个、4个。卵产后8天,囊胚层形成。产后10—13天,寄生体长达300微米,宽192微米。卵期13—14天。幼虫期仅3天。蛹期8—10天。在一寄主内能发育9—61头黄柄黑蜂。雌蜂具有避免在同一寄主上重复产卵的本能。雌雄性比为8:1。每年发生8代,以早期胚在稻瘿蚊1龄幼虫体内越冬。     

米蛾对三种赤眼蜂的适合性及被寄生后卵内游离氨基酸含量的变化

寄生发生前寄生蜂的寄生行为及寄生发生后寄生蜂的生长发育情况能够反映出寄主对寄生蜂的适合性,而寄生蜂对寄主营养物质的吸收和利用是寄生蜂完成发育的生理基础。为了从寄生蜂利用寄主营养能力的角度探讨寄主对不同种赤眼蜂适合性变化的原因,本文观察了以米蛾Corcyra cephalonica Stainton卵为寄主时拟澳洲赤眼蜂Trichogramma confusumViggiani、松毛虫赤眼蜂T. dendrolimi Matsumura和玉米螟赤眼蜂T. ostriniae Pang et Chen的寄生行为及发育和存活情况,测定了被寄生米蛾卵内游离氨基酸的含量 。结果发现,玉米螟赤眼蜂的产卵时间为84.9 s,显著长于拟澳洲赤眼蜂和松毛虫赤眼蜂的产卵时间。拟澳洲赤眼蜂检测寄主所需时间为30.8 s,显著长于玉米螟赤眼蜂和松毛虫赤眼蜂所需时间,但从每寄主卵中羽化出的拟澳洲赤眼蜂数量显著高于松毛虫赤眼蜂及玉米螟赤眼蜂寄生的结果。3种赤眼蜂卵+幼虫的发育历期间不存在显著差异,但卵成虫的发育历期间存在显著差异。玉米螟赤眼蜂幼虫期和预蛹期的死亡率均显著高于拟澳洲赤眼蜂和松毛虫赤眼蜂相应虫期的死亡率。这些结果表明：米蛾卵对松毛虫赤眼蜂及拟澳洲赤眼蜂的适合性高于对玉米螟赤眼蜂的适合性。未被寄生的米蛾卵内游离氨基酸的总量在24～96 h时间段内从开始的2.194 mg/mL逐渐下降到1.565 mg/mL,而被寄生的米蛾卵内游离氨基酸总量均出现先升高后下降的现象。被松毛虫赤眼蜂和拟澳洲赤眼蜂寄生的米蛾卵内游离氨基酸总量在48 h达到最高值,分别为4.239 mg/mL和3.222 mg/mL,被玉米螟赤眼蜂寄生的米蛾在72 h达到最高值,为4 .323 mg/mL,显示同玉米螟赤眼蜂相比,松毛虫赤眼蜂和拟澳洲赤眼蜂能够更快地分解利用寄主营养。这些结果提示,3种赤眼蜂利用米蛾卵内营养物质能力的不同导致了米蛾卵对3种蜂适合性的不同。     

吉林省延吉地区玉米螟寄生蜂的调查初报

1972-1974年调查,我省延吉地区玉米螟卵的寄生蜂有:玉米螟赤眼蜂 Trichogramma ostriniae和粘虫黑卵蜂 Telenomus cirphiuorus;幼虫寄生蜂有:大螟瘦姬蜂 Eriborus terebrans、高缝姬蜂 Campoplex sp.、棱柄姬蜂 Sinophorus sp.、姬花蜂 Hyiaeus sp.、玉米螟长距茧蜂 Macrocentrus grandii、茧蜂 Bracon sp.、金小蜂Eupteromalus sp.;共9种,其中玉米螟赤眼蜂占螟卵总寄生率的97.3%,大螟瘦姬蜂占幼虫总寄生率的85％以上,是当地重要寄生蜂。     

寄主龄期、过寄生和寄主饥饿处理对菜蛾盘绒茧蜂幼蜂及畸形细胞发育的影响

过寄生、寄生时寄主龄期和寄生后寄主饥饿处理影响菜蛾盘绒茧蜂Cotesia plutellae（Kurdj.）幼蜂及畸形细胞的发育。显微解剖和观察表明,4龄小菜蛾Plutella xylostella L.幼虫被寄生后,其体内菜蛾盘绒茧蜂幼蜂发育不整齐、假寄生比例增高。过寄生后,每头被寄生的寄主血腔中畸形细胞数量明显增多,但直径变小;随着过寄生程度的加剧,幼蜂发育严重受阻。寄主营养显著影响体内幼蜂及畸形细胞的发育,被寄生的小菜蛾经饥饿处理62 h后,体内畸形细胞的数量、活性明显降低,与此同时,幼蜂的发育也受到明显抑制,寄主发育与寄生蜂和畸形细胞的发育呈正相关性。由此可见,寄主不同龄期、过寄生及寄主营养状况均对寄主体内幼蜂和畸形细胞发育产生影响。     

Extraembryonic membrane of the polyembryonic parasitoid Macrocentrus cingulum Brischke (Hym., Braconidae) is essential for evasion of encapsulation

Abstract:  The wasp Macrocentrus cingulum (Hymenoptera) is an endoparasitoid that uses larvae of the Asian corn borer Ostrinia furnacalis as one of its hosts. The wasp is polyembryonic and a single wasp egg gives rise to several dozens of embryos. Earlier studies showed that the fibrous layer on the surface of M. cingulum eggs protects them from the immune system of the moth larvae. However, the way in which the embryos of the parasitoid avoid being encapsulated remained unknown. In this paper, we show that the evasion of encapsulation is mediated through the extraembryonic membrane. We also show that M. cingulum embryos developed normally in the larvae of O. furnacalis but were encapsulated when injected into the larvae of Helicoverpa armigera , which is not a host species for the wasp larvae. When the extraembryonic membrane was removed, either chemically using the enzyme dispase or mechanically using a dissecting needle, the 'unprotected' embryos were also encapsulated both in vivo and in vitro by the haemocytes of the normal host O. furnacalis . It was also shown that the extraembryonic membrane was labelled strongly with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated Helix pomatia ( H.p. ) lectin. This suggests that a chemical in, or on, the extraembryonic membrane, that helps the embryos of M. cingulum to avoid encapsulation, is possibly a glycodeterminant produced in the haemocoel of the wasp.     

Levels of encapsulation and melanization in two larval instars of Ostrinia furnacalis Guenée (Lep., Pyralidae) during simulation of parasitization by Macrocentrus cingulum Brischke (Hym., Braconidae)

Abstract:  The hymenopteran Macrocentrus cingulum is a polyembryonic endoparasitoid that uses larvae of the lepidopteran Ostrinia furnacalis as one of its host insects. Previous studies indicated that although this parasitoid does not transmit polydnaviruses when it lays its eggs, a layer of fibrous tissue on the surface of the eggs helps them to avoid being encapsulated by the immune system of the host insect. However, as eggs of M. cingulum that are laid into late instar larvae of O . furnacalis often do not survive, there is a tendency for the adults to lay their eggs in earlier instar larvae. We studied the amounts of encapsulation and melanization around beads of DEAE-Sephadex A-25 injected into the haemoceol of fourth and fifth larval instars of O. furnacalis . The beads were injected to simulate the presence of eggs of the parasitoid M. cingulum . We found that the levels of encapsulation and melanization around the beads increased with the age of the O. furnacalis larvae. Likewise, the total counts of the haemocytes circulating within the haemolymph increased with the age of the O. furnacalis larvae and were correlated negatively with the percentage of larvae parasitized by M. cingulum . It appears that young O. furnacalis possess a weak cellular defence, and as a result are more susceptible to being parasitized. Hence, the correlation between the levels of encapsulation and the age of the host insect appears simply to reflect passive evasion.     

Pattern duplications in larvae of the polyembryonic wasp Copidosoma floridanum

 Copidosoma floridanum is a polyembryonic wasp that undergoes total cleavage of the egg followed by proliferation of blastomeres to produce up to 2,000 embryos from a single egg. This unusual mode of development raises several questions about how axial polarity is established in individual embryonic primordia. By examining embryonic development of larvae with duplicated structures (conjoined larvae), we determined that conjoined larvae form by mislocalization of two embryonic primordia to a common chamber of the extraembryonic membrane that surrounds individual embryos. Analysis of an anterior marker, Distalless, in mislocalized early embryos indicated that anterior structures form independently of one another. This suggests each embryonic primordium has some intrinsic polarity. However, during germband extension embryos usually fuse in register with each other, resulting in conjoined larvae with heads facing each other. Analysis of the posterior segmental marker, Engrailed, in conjoined embryos suggested that fusion in register initiates during germband extension. Thus, even though embryonic primordia initially have a random axial orientation, conjoined larvae usually possess a common orientation due to reorientation during germband extension. These observations suggest that differential cellular affinities during segmentation play an important role in embryo fusion. Received: 13 June 1996 / Accepted: 15 August 1996     

Effects of parasitization or injection of parasitoid-derived factors from the endoparasitic wasp Glyptapanteles porthetriae (Hym., Braconidae) on the development of the larval host, Lymantria dispar (Lep., Lymantriidae)

Second instar larvae of Lymantria dispar were parasitized or injected with parasitoid-derived factors such as venom, calyx fluid or parasitoid eggs from Glyptapanteles porthetriae . Growth and development of the host larvae were affected in all different groups compared to control larvae of the same age, injected with Ringer solution. The greatest impact on host growth and on the duration of the 3rd instar was caused by injecting parasitoid eggs. Treated larvae showed melanized capsules or nodules in the hemocoel. While the wasp age had no effect on parasitization efficiency or on the percentage of melanized particles in the hemocoel, significantly more encapsulations were found in larvae parasitized by old wasps as opposed to young wasps. Superparasitization (double or quadruple oviposition) increased the parasitization efficiency markedly. While none of the control larvae showed melanized particles, in the groups of single and superparasitized (2× and 4×) hosts a high percentage of melanized particles (capsules and nodules) occurred.     

Phenology of Parasetigena silvestris (Diptera: Tachinidae), gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) larval parasitoid and its efficiency for parasitisation

Parasetigena silvestris is a univoltine, solitary, larval endoparasitoid which lays its eggs on the surface of gypsy moth larvae. Field collection of the host larvae (2nd through 5th instar) from an artificially established gypsy moth population were made to compare stage specific parasitism between larvae without and with P. silvestris tachinid eggs. The tachinid oviposition rate detected was highest in second instar larvae, and then decreased as larvae developed toward full maturity. The opposite was true for tachinid parasitoid emergence which had no emergence from second through third host instar larvae. Fourth instar gypsy moth larvae, however, experienced significantly higher parasitism by P. silvestris in the larvae with eggs than those without the eggs. The braconid wasp Cotesia melanoscelus caused significantly higher parasitism in early instar larvae with P. silvestris eggs than in those without the eggs. The tachinid prefers to lay more eggs on parasitised larvae by the braconid even though the braconid is a superior competitor to the fly during multiparasitism. Factors influencing parasitism rates by P. silvestris such as host-parasitoid synchronisation and the multiparasitism interaction with C. melanoscelus are discussed.     

Caste formation in the polyembryonic wasp Copidosoma floridanum (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae): in vivo and in vitro analysis

The polyembryonic wasp Copidosoma floridanum produces two morphologically distinct types of larvae in its host Trichoplusia ni. Reproductive larvae consume the host, pupate, and form adult wasps, whereas precocious larvae manipulate the sex ratios of the reproductive caste and defend the brood against interspecific competitors. The previous study indicated that morphogenesis of the reproductive caste was associated with a 9-day competency period, and that ecdysteroids of host origin were required for completion of embryogenesis. Here we investigated whether factors associated with the host environment mediate morphogenesis of precocious larvae and caste determination. Embryogenesis of precocious larvae was found to be synchronized with specific stages of the host first-fourth instars. However, development of precocious larvae did not depend on environmental factors specifically associated with these host stages. Elevation of the host juvenoid titer using the analogue methoprene induced T. ni to undergo a supernumerary sixth instar, but did not alter the proportion of wasp embryos that developed into precocious and reproductive larvae. In contrast, embryos competent to initiate morphogenesis developed into precocious larvae when transplanted into novel host stages such as pupae. Development of precocious larvae was arrested by ablation of the host's source of ecdysteroids, but could be rescued dose-dependently by injection of 20-hydroxyecdysone. In vitro rearing studies confirmed that completion of embryogenesis of the precocious caste required an exogenous pulse of 20-hydroxyecdysone. Combined with previous studies, our results indicate that embryos forming precocious and reproductive larvae acquire the competence to undergo morphogenesis at different times. However, we find no evidence to suggest that caste determination is mediated by environmental factors associated with a specific stage of the host.     

Dose-dependent influence of Microplitis rufiventris factors on developmental rate and growth of last-instar Spodoptera littoralis larvae

The solitary endoparasitoid, Microplitis rufiventris, attacks and can develop in earlier instars of Spodoptera littoralis larvae with preference to third‐instar larvae. We used the last stadium (sixth instar), a stage which is not naturally parasitized. The newly moulted larvae (0–3 h old) of this stadium were more acceptable for parasitization by the wasp females than the older ones (24 h old). Parasitization by M. rufiventris wasp of last instar S. littoralis larvae leads to dose (no. of eggs + parasitoid factors)‐dependent effects which were more pronounced at 20°C than at 27°C. A single oviposition into a sixth instar host larva resulted in normal development of the host. However, superparasitization increased the proportions of developmentally arrested hosts and number of live wasp larvae. Development of supernumerary individuals of the parasitoid in the host larva leads to dose‐related adverse effects on host growth and development. The present study may provide interesting opportunities for studying the physiological bases of host–parasitoid interactions and parasitoid intra‐specific competition in the biological system considered.

中华花翅跳小蜂生物学特性和种群动态的研究

中华花翅跳小蜂Microterys sinicus Jiang是白蜡虫成虫产卵期的主要天敌。该蜂成虫喜在自然光下活动,取食和交配都在寄主树上进行。中华花翅跳小蜂每雌平均怀卵量34.39粒,产卵前期2～3天。产卵量、产卵率和产卵天数与温度密切相关,27℃时产卵量和产卵率最高。30℃时产卵天数最少。21～27℃卵孵化率达80%以上。幼虫共5龄。每头跳小蜂幼虫平均取食蜡虫卵数分别为：1龄14.6粒,2龄29.8粒,3龄69.4粒,4龄126.9粒。5龄幼虫不取食。全代发育起点温度和有效积温分别为11.84℃和574.32日·度。补充营养能显著延长成虫寿命和产卵天数,提高雌虫产卵量。中华花翅跳小蜂成虫在田间有两个高峰期,分别发生在4月上中旬和5月中下旬。每粒虫囊内跳小蜂幼虫数与白蜡虫健卵百分率呈负指数关系,拟合方程为：Y=96.0829Exp(-0.1872x)。     

Role of venom and ovarian proteins in immune suppression of Ostrinia furnacalis （Lepidoptera： Pyralidae） larvae parasitized by Macrocentrus cingulum （Hymenoptera： Braconidae）, a polyembryonic parasitoid

Venom and ovarian proteins in braconid and ichneumonid wasps play an important role in the successful parasitism of their host, especially for immune suppression immediately after oviposition. In this study, we compared the effect of venom and ovarian proteins collected from the female wasps of Macrocentrus cingulum, a polyembryonic parasitoid of the larvae of Ostriniafunacalis, on the encapsulation capacity of Sephadex A- 25 beads at 4 h and 24 h post-injection both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that the ovarian proteins significantly interfered with the encapsulation capacity of hemocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Spreading and viability of hemocytes in O. furnacalis was not disrupted by venom and ovarian proteins at various concentrations injected. It seems likely that the ovarian proteins from M. cingulum play a role in suppressing the encapsulation capacity of host hemocytes.
