Effect of parasitization by Apanteles flavipes on the biochemical composition of Diacrisia obliqua
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2011
Abstract
Infection of Diacrisia obliqua larva by Apanteles flavipes resulted in a significant decrease in the lipid and protein content of the host. In about 8 days the parasitoid larvae developing in the host not only utilized these components of the host but also depressed food consumption of the host. Consequently, at the time of emergence of the parasitoid larvae, the host tissue consisted of simply carcass. The parasitoid larvae utilized lipids at the rate of 0.9–10.0 μg/mg/day.
Résumé
L'infection de la larve Diacrisia obliqua par Apanteles flavipes est le resultat d'un decroissement d'une façon notable du lipid et protein contenu deus le D. obliqua. Durant huit jours la larve parasitoide, grandussante dans le receptacle n'utilise pas seulement les composes des tissu de D. obliqua maie resuit la quantite de la nourriture de la larve parasitoide le tissus de D. obliqua est reduit a une simple carcass. La larve parasitoide utilise le lipid au taux de 0.9–10.0 μg/mg/day.
