Exploring the interactions of bacterial secondary symbionts (BSS) in wheat aphids, Sitobion avenae F. with parasitoids
Beschreibung:
Bacterial secondary symbionts (BSS) are renowned for their capacity to protect their hosts against natural enemies. Sitobion avenae (F.) is recently reported for Hamiltonella defensa and Regiella insecticola infections. Among natural enemies, parasitoids are the most effective bio-control agents. Host feeding strategy has been adopted by many parasitoids to increase their longevity and fecundity. Parasitoid-host interactions are highly specialized and depend upon the environmental factors and the genotypic backgrounds of the species involved. Besides the innate defence system, BSS compositi...
