Abstract: The parasitoid wasp, Eretmocerus delhiensis Mani (Hym., Aphelinidae), is an active ecto-endo and solitary parasitoid in southwestern Iran. To evaluate Er. delhiensis as a biocontrol agent against the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hem., Aleyrodidae)… read more here.

Abstract: The parasitoid wasp, Eretmocerus delhiensis (Hymenoptera, Aphelinidae) is a thelytokous and syn-ovigenic parasitoid. To evaluate E. delhiensis as a biocontrol agent in greenhouse, the killing efficiency of this parasitoid by parasitism and host-feeding, were studied.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1006900
Abstract: Circadian rhythms enable organisms to synchronise the processes underpinning survival and reproduction to anticipate daily changes in the external environment. Recent work shows that daily (circadian) rhythms also enable parasites to maximise fitness in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.932224
Abstract: Focusing on the utility of ticks as xenosurveillance sentinels to expose circulating pathogens in Kenyan drylands, host-feeding ticks collected from wild ungulates [buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, hartebeest, impala, rhinoceros (black and white), zebras (Grévy’s and plains)],… read more here.
