Abstract

A laboratory study was conducted on the relationships betweenNosema bordati Goudegnon andApanteles flavipes (Cameron) when they simultaneously parasitiseChilo partellus (Swinhoe). The results indicate thatN. bordati is highly pathogenic to the immature instars of the parasitoid. Lightly infected adults ofA. flavipes are able to transmit the Microsporidian.

Résumé

Une étude a été menée en laboratoire sur les inter-relations entreNosema bordati Goudegnon etApanteles flavipes (Cameron) lorsqu'ils parasitent simultanémentChilo partellus (Swinhoe). Il en ressort queN. bordati est très pathogène et virulente pour les stades immatures du parasitoïde. Faiblement infestés, les adultes peuvent disséminer la Microsporidie.
