Abstract: To establish successful infections, endoparasitoid wasps must develop strategies to evade immune responses of the host. Here, we identified and characterized a teratocytes-expressed gene encoding a trypsin inhibitor-like protein containing a cysteine-rich domain from Cotesia… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-01383-2
Abstract: Venoms secreted by the venom gland (VG) of parasitoid wasp help ensure successful parasitism by host immune suppression and developmental regulation. Cotesia vestalis, a larval endoparasitoid, and Diadromus collaris, a pupal endoparasitoid, parasitize the diamondback… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-62021-y
Abstract: The use of nectar-providing plants to nourish natural enemies of pest species has become a widely-used approach in conservation biological control to reduce pest damage without the indiscriminate use of insecticides. Choice of plant species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jen.12537
Abstract: A blend of four volatile compounds, (Z)‐3‐hexene‐1‐yl acetate, α‐pinene, sabinene and n‐heptanal, emitted from cabbage plants infested by diamondback moth (DBM) larvae (hereafter called the attractant) attract females of Cotesia vestalis, a dominant parasitoid wasp… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s41938-019-0151-7
Abstract: The parasitoid species Cotesia vestalis (Haliday) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is an important parasitoid, mass multiplied and used against the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (Linneaus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) worldwide. The present study was carried out to investigate the… read more here.
