寄生蜂是一类重要寄生性天敌昆虫,在害虫生物防治中发挥着重要作用。它们产卵时把自身携带的多种寄生因子(毒液、多DNA病毒等)注入寄主体内,由此调控寄主生长发育、免疫功能、营养代谢等以保证其后代在寄主体内或体上的成功发育。自20世纪80年代以来国内外昆虫学家对多种寄生蜂及其寄主构成的体系开展了寄生蜂调控寄主生理作用及其相关机制的研究,本文主要对我国昆虫学者的相关研究工作进行了总结和整理。
Parasitoids are one of the most important groups of natural enemies of insect pests, and have been widely used as biological control agents in the insect pest manegement. They inject some factors such as venom and polydnavirus into their hosts when they lay eggs into hosts to ensure their progeny develop inside or on the hosts by altering host immunity, development and metabolism. In the past thirty years, tremendous works have been done in the field of physiological regulation of host insects by parasitoids worldwide. In this review, we summarize the related progress in China based on published papers.
