  • Características biológicas de parasitóide de ovos criados em diferentes hospedeiros
    Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ariana Lisboa Meira, Fernando Domingo Zinger, Gustavo Martins Strum, Leonardo Mardgan, Dirceu Pratissoli
    Abstract:

    As espécies de Trichogramma são agentes biológicos que contribuem para o controle de lepidópteros. Objetivou-se neste trabalho identificar qual espécie de Trichogramma apresenta melhor desempenho biológico quando criados em ovos de Anagasta kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) e Plutella xylostella Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). Desta forma os parâmetros biológicos avaliados no período de ovo a adulto foram duração de ovo a adulto e percentual de emergência e no estágio adulto avaliou-se número de ovos parasitados, número de indivíduos por ovo e razão sexual em Trichogramma atopovirilia Oatman & Planter (HymenopteraTrichogrammatidae) e Trichogramma exiguum Pinto & Planter (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae).  Para o período de ovo a adulto, A. kuehniella, H. zea e P. xylostella não apresentaram diferença quando criados com as mesmas espécies de Trichogramma para a duração do ciclo de desenvolvimento e não houve diferença para o percentual de emergência entre os três hospedeiros em estudo. Em relação aos parâmetros avaliados no estágio adulto, para número de ovos parasitados, somente A. kuehniella, diferenciou entre as espécies de Trichogramma. O número de indivíduos por ovo, os maiores valores foram observados quando as espécies de Trichogramma foram criadas com ovos de H. zea. A razão sexual, T. atopovirilia diferiu apenas para A. kuehniella. As duas espécies de Trichogramma estão aptas a se desenvolverem nos hospedeiros A. kuehniella e P. xylostella. Contudo para o hospedeiro H. zea, T. exiguum foi à espécie que obteve melhor desempenho, parasitando maior número de ovos e obtendo maior número de indivíduos por ovo

  • acacioi (Hym.: Trichogrammatidae), Parasitoids of the Avocado Defoliator Nipteria panacea (Lep.: Geometridae), in Eggs of two Alternative Hosts
    2016
    Co-Authors: Dirceu Pratissoli, Ulysses Rodrigues Vianna, José Cola Zanuncio, Josimar Souza, Tobias Baruc, Moreira Pinon, Gilberto Santos Andrade
    Abstract:

    This research studied the thermal requirements of Trichogramma pretiosum and T. acacioi (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), parasitoids of Nipteria panacea (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), with eggs of the alternative hosts Anagasta kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Sitotroga cerealella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) aiming to use these natural enemies in biological control programs of this pest in avocado orchards. T. pretiosum needed 151.83 and 160.04 degree-days, above threshold of 10.70 and 10.75°C, while these values were 158.50 and 155.46 degree-days, above threshold of 10.67 and 10.46°C for T. acacioi when exposed to eggs of A. kuehniella and S. cerealella, respectively

  • Parasitism Capacity of Trichogramma pretiosum and
    2016
    Co-Authors: Dirceu Pratissoli, Ulysses Rodrigues Vianna, José Cola Zanuncio, Josimar Souza, Domingo O Zinger, João Rafael, Conte Carvalho Alencar, Germano Leão, Demolin Leite
    Abstract:

    The objective of this work was to evaluate the parasitism capacity of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley and T. acacioi Brun, Moraes and Soares (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) in eggs of the alternative host Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) aiming to use both species in biological control programs of Nipteria panacea Tierry-Mieg (Lepidoptera: Geometridae). The parasitism rhythm and total parasitism of these parasitoid species were affected by the temperature with higher values during the first 24 h of their life. Parasitism period was longer for T. pretiosum and T. acacioi at the lowest temperature

  • parasitismo oofago de traca do tomateiro por trichogramma evanescens hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae parasitism of south american tomato moth eggs by trichogramma evanescens hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae
    2012
    Co-Authors: Rosângela Payer, António Mexia, Dirceu Pratissoli, Elisabete Figueiredo
    Abstract:

    Tuta absoluta eggs were evaluated as host for Trichogramma evanescens with the aim of using indigenous species for biological control of the South American tomato moth. After being proved that T. evanescens could parasitize and achieve the complete development inside this host, parasitism rate, proportion of eggs within the parasitoid that reach the adult stage and viability of development rate, at three different temperatures (22.0oC, 24.0oC and 25.5oC) were evaluated. Parasitism rate and the proportion of eggs with emerging hole were calculated as number of parasitized eggs and number of eggs with emerging holes, respectively, by the number of viable eggs. The viability of parasitoid development until adult stage was calculated as number of eggs with emerging hole/number of parasitized eggs. T. evanescens parasitized T. absoluta eggs at all the studied temperatures. Parasitism rate and proportion of eggs with emerging holes were higher at 22.0oC; viability of development till adult was higher at 24.0oC.

  • especies e ou linhagens de trichogramma spp hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae para o controle de anticarsia gemmatalis lepidoptera noctuidae
    Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2011
    Co-Authors: Ulysses Rodrigues Vianna, J R C C De Alencar, José Cola Zanuncio, Dirceu Pratissoli, Fernando Domingo Zinger
    Abstract:

    Several Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) species parasitize Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs, the major soybean desfoliator in Brazil. The objective of this work was to evaluate the parasitism of eleven Trichogramma species/strains in cardboards with twenty eggs of A. gemmatalis by this parasitoid female for 24 hours. The strain trat - 2 Trichogramma atopovirilia (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) of Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, showed better performance with 19 A. gemmatalis eggs parasitized by female in 24 hours, 98% viability and sex ratio of 0.84. The strain Trichogramma pretiosum of Crystalline, Goias, parasitized 11.9 A. gemmatalis eggs per female with 98% viability and sex ratio of 0.65. This work confirms the importance of evaluating Trichogramma strains before biological control programs, because different strains of the same species of parasitoid have distinct results.

  • A Partial Genome Assembly of the Miniature Parasitoid Wasp, Megaphragma Amalphitanum
    PloS one, 2019
    Co-Authors: Fedor S. Sharko, A. V. Nedoluzhko, Svetlana V. Tsygankova, Eugenia S. Boulygina, Sergey M. Rastorguev, Alexey S. Sokolov, Fernando Santos Rodríguez, Alexander M. Mazur, Alexey A Polilov
    Abstract:

    Body size reduction, also known as miniaturization, is an important evolutionary process that affects a number of physiological and phenotypic traits and helps animals conquer new ecological niches. However, this process is poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we report genomic and transcriptomic features of arguably the smallest known insect-the parasitoid wasp, Megaphragma amalphitanum (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae). In contrast to expectations, we find that the genome and transcriptome sizes of this parasitoid wasp are comparable to other members of the Chalcidoidea superfamily. Moreover, compared to other chalcid wasps the gene content of M. amalphitanum is remarkably conserved. Intriguingly, we observed significant changes in M. amalphitanum transposable element dynamics over time, in which an initial burst was followed by suppression of activity, possibly due to a recent reinforcement of the genome defense machinery. Overall, while the M. amalphitanum genomic data reveal certain features that may be linked to the unusual biological properties of this organism, miniaturization is not associated with a large decrease in genome complexity.

  • mitochondrial genome of megaphragma amalphitanum hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae
    Mitochondrial DNA, 2016
    Co-Authors: A. V. Nedoluzhko, Alexey A Polilov, Fedor S. Sharko, Svetlana V. Tsygankova, Eugenia S. Boulygina, Alexey S. Sokolov, Alexander M. Mazur, Egor Prokhortchouk, K G Skryabin
    Abstract:

    The mitochondrial genome of the parasitic wasp Megaphragma amalphitanum is published in this paper. The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is 15 041 base pairs (bp) in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes and 22 tRNA genes. The overall base composition of the genome in descending order was 45.67% A, 8.71% C, 39.63% T and 5.99% G, with a significant AT bias of 85.30%.

  • features of the structure of hymenoptera associated with miniaturization 2 anatomy of trichogramma evanescens hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae
    Entomological Review, 2016
    Co-Authors: Alexey A Polilov
    Abstract:

    Anatomy of adults of Trichogramma evanescens (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is described in detail for the first time based on series of sections and 3D computer reconstruction. The complex structure of the exoskeleton and musculature (except for reductions of individual muscles) is preserved in T. evanescens despite its tiny size. Considerable simplification is observed in the structure of the intestine, tracheal and circulatory systems, and in the reduced number of Malpighian tubules. Thus, the smallest Hymenoptera (Mymaridae and Trichogrammatidae) demonstrate both the effects of miniaturization universal for insects (reduction of the head endoskeleton, circulatory and respiratory systems) and specific ones.
