| host-parasite biology of thripinema fuscum (tylenchida: allantonematidae) and frankliniella fusca (thysanoptera: thripidae). | thripinema fuscum is a natural enemy of frankliniella fusca in peanut. laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the reproductive biology of t. fuscum as affected by gender and stage of development of the host and to determine the effects of parasitism on host longevity, fecundity, and mortality. the adult females of f. fusca were the most readily parasitized (p < 0.001) in the laboratory experiments followed by the second instars, the first instars, and the adult males. one generation ... | 2005 | 19262837 |
