1. Explorando as interações hospedeiro-parasitoide para a identificação de moléculas com potencial biotecnológico / Exploiting the host parasitoid interactions for the identification of molecules with biotechnological potential
Parasitoides criam condições favoráveis para seu desenvolvimento regulando processos fisiológicos do hospedeiro via a utilização de moléculas produzidas por tecidos maternos ou por tecidos derivados do parasitoide imaturo ou de simbiontes associados (vírus de poliDNA - PDV). Assim, essas moléculas se destacam como uma fonte preciosa para o desenvolv

2. Regulação do desenvolvimento e resposta imune de lagartas de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) por Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) / Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) larval development and immune response regulation by Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hym.: Braconidae), como outros cenobiontes, é capaz de regular seu hospedeiro, criando um ambiente que sustenta e promove o desenvolvimento de suas larvas, comumente em detrimento do hospedeiro. Substâncias derivadas do trato reprodutivo das fêmeas (proteínas ovarianas, veneno e polidnavírus) são injetadas no hospedeiro, afe

3. Oviposition sequence and offspring of mated and virgin females of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) parasitizing Diatraea saccharalis larvae (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
Large scale mass rearing of natural enemies has been a mean of improving biological control in the sugarcane intensive agriculture. Among them, Cotesia flavipes, a gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoid, was imported by Brasil to control caterpillars of the sugarcane borer Diatraea saccharalis. The C. flavipes larval development depends on its association with

4. Polydnavirus genome segment families in the ichneumonid parasitoid Hyposoter fugitivus.
Sequences homologous to encapsidated polydnavirus genome segments are routinely detected in parasitoid chromosomal DNA; typically, each viral genome segment hybridizes to a single cognate chromosomal locus. In the present study, we show that in some cases, two or more viral genome segments may hybridize to the same chromosomal locus. Genome segments of this

5. Estimating the age of the polydnavirus/braconid wasp symbiosis
Polydnaviruses are essential components mediating host–parasitoid relationships between some braconid wasps and their caterpillar hosts largely by suppressing or misdirecting the host immune systems. The polydnavirus–wasp relationship is an unusual apparent mutualism between viruses and eukaryotes and remarkably has evolved to the stage where the two ent

6. Polydnavirus-facilitated endoparasite protection against host immune defenses.
The polydnavirus of Campoletis sonorensis has evolved with an unusual life cycle in which the virus exists as an obligate symbiont with the parasite insect and causes significant physiological and developmental alterations in the parasite's host. The segmented polydnavirus genome consists of double-stranded superhelical molecules; each segment is apparently

7. Apparent functional role for a cysteine-rich polydnavirus protein in suppression of the insect cellular immune response.
Polydnaviruses suppress the cellular immune response and inhibit growth and development in their lepidopteran host, allowing survival of their endoparasitic hymenopteran host. Characterization of genes disrupting insect physiological systems is a major objective in the study of polydnaviruses. Recently, a cysteine-rich gene family encoding a motif composed o

8. Structure and evolutionary implications of a "cysteine-rich" Campoletis sonorensis polydnavirus gene family.
For successful parasitization, the female Campoletis sonorensis endoparasitic wasp injects a polydnavirus into its host, Heliothis virescens, during oviposition. Viral gene expression induces immunosuppression and alters development of the host. We report here that three abundantly expressed genes, VHv1.1, WHv1.0, and WHv1.6, describes a polydnavirus "cystei

9. Venom and viral expression products of the endoparasitic wasp Campoletis sonorensis share epitopes and related sequences.
Endoparasitic wasps of lepidopteran insects must induce changes in host immunity and development to survive. Depending on the species, this may require wasp venom proteins and/or a polydnavirus. We describe an immunological and genetic relationship between the Campoletis sonorensis polydnavirus and the wasp's venom gland. Monoclonal antibodies raised against

10. Evidence for a chromosomal location of polydnavirus DNA in the ichneumonid parasitoid Hyposoter fugitivus.
Evidence is presented in support of a chromosomal location for sequences homologous to polydnavirus DNA in the ichneumonid parasitoid Hyposoter fugitivus. In this study, four different viral genome segments were cloned and used as probes against genomic DNA extracted from male parasitoids and digested with a variety of restriction enzymes. Each probe typical

11. Polydnavirus DNA is integrated in the DNA of its parasitoid wasp host.
The polydnavirus Campoletis sonorensis virus (CsV) is present in the oviducts of all adult C. sonorensis female wasps and appears to be required for these wasps to parasitize hosts successfully. Physical mapping, Southern blot analysis, and nucleotide sequence analysis demonstrate that the viral DNA B-specific sequences in cloned wasp DNA are colinear with v

12. Two Microplitis demolitor polydnavirus mRNAs expressed in hemocytes of Pseudoplusia includens contain a common cysteine-rich domain.
Microplitis demolitor is a polydnavirus-carrying wasp that parasitizes the larval stage of Pseudoplusia includens. A previous study indicated that M. demolitor polydnavirus (MdPDV) infects primarily hemocytes in parasitized hosts. Thereafter, several alterations that compromise the immune response of P. includens toward the developing parasitoid occur in hem
