| Abstract: | ImmatureLymantria dispar L. were collected from 6 geographically distinct populations over 2 years to determine correlations between parasitoid and disease incidences. Incidence of the nuclear polyhedrosis virus disease (NPV) was found to be positively correlated with incidences of the parasitoidsApanteles melanoscelus (Ratzeburg) andParasetigena silvestris (Robineau-Desvoidy). |
