of predators, parasitoids and even microbial agent. Samplings were performed randomly from ants and aphids on pine trees (Pinus mugo) of urban green space in Mashhad during four consecutive seasons in 2014 and 2015. This study aimed to explore symbiotic ants...

Leaf and stem samples of Lactuca serriola infected by the mealybug, Peliococcus kimmericus (Kiritshenko) were collected during 2011-2012, from Mashhad, the northeast of Iran. Totally 4 species of predators and 8 parasitoids and hyperparasitoids...

Parasitoids play the positive role in aphids control management by keeping the population of aphids below the economic threshold. The pomegranate aphid, Aphis punicae is attacked by several parasitoids which mostly belong to Aphidiinae subfamily...

of the Aphidiinae parasitoids of the pomegranate aphid. The molecular approach (polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) detected the presence of three main parasitoids Lysiphlebus fabarum (Marshal; Hymenoptra: Braconidae), Binodoxys angelicae (Haliday; Hymenoptra...

with possible signs or symptoms of infection were collected from beet fields, kept in laboratory conditions, fed with fresh beet leaves, and checked daily until the emergence of parasitoids. Herein, 12 species of parasitoids, a virus: Spodoptera exigua multiple...

The Aphidiinae subfamily (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) have significant role in biological control of aphids

(Hemiptera: Aphididae). The successful use of biological control agents requires rapid and accurate identification ...
