Biochemical characterization and mode of action of venom from the endoparasitoid wasp Pimpla turionellae L (original) (raw)

2007

Abstract

ABSTRACT The potency of venom from Pimpla turionellae L. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) toward an array of lepidopterous pests has been well established. However, only recently has venom from this wasp received attention in terms of characterizing the biochemical nature of its constituents or the mode of action of venom in vivo and in vitro. In this review, we will summarize the progress that has been made in evaluating age- and diet-related changes in the biological activity, mode of action, and composition of venom from wasp. We will also make comparisons to venoms from other parasitoid species in terms of venom composition and biological activity.
