Avaliação Da Sensibilidade De Zigotos Murinos Ao Herpesvírus Bovino-1: Um Modelo Experimental Para Estudos De Interações Embrião-Vírus

Abstract

Paratrechina fulva (Mayr) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) was observed tending Cerataphis brasiliensis, Hempel (Hemiptera: Aphididae) aphids on Australian Royal Palm and scales (Hemiptera: Pseudoccidae) on Chinese Windmill Palm. In both cases first stage nymphs were recorded being carried by ant workers. Young scales were seen taken into the ant nest. Predation on Brassolis sophorae (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) pupae was also recorded. The several larval stages are not predated probably due to the great amount of thin hairs dispersed on larva integument.
