“…The wsp gene has been chosen as the marker for Wolbachia detection due to high variability, which makes possible for a precise result using on phylogenetic analyses [16], [19], [20]. The results showed that Wolbachia presented in all opiine braconid samples in this study, which positively associated in several species from several studies, namely Asobara tabida [20], Cotesia sesamiae [21] and Fopius arisanus [22]. Furthermore, our results presented several additional new data on the association between Wolbachia and Opiines.…”

Abstract:Endosymbiotic relationship between Wolbachia (Rickettsiales: Rickettsiaceace) and braconids species is a new topic to be discussed among researchers due to its potential as biocontrol agents of fruit flies species. In this study, Wolbachia Surface Protien (wsp) marker has been used to detect the existence of Wolbachia molecularly that associated with braconids (Opiinae) collected from several localities throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Our results revealed that five species of parasitoids viz. Fopius arisanus, F. vandensboschi, Psyttalia sp., P. fletcheri and P. incisi were symbiont positively with nine different strains of Wolbachia. A total of nine strains have been successfully sequenced and classified into three Wolbachia subgroups namely Mel, Ri, and Inc based on the results of clustering analysis. In this study, Inc Wolbachia group has been known as a novel group emerged of Wolbachia. These data should be useful in future Wolbachia-based biological control program that involving parasitoids and fruit flies.

“…It has been suggested that mixing Wolbachia infected and uninfected populations may cause reproductive failure in biocontrol programs of parasitoids (Mochiah et al, 2002;Perlman et al, 2006). If parasitoid strains with Wolbachia infection are released in an area where a Wolbachia free population occurs, sterile mating will diminish the reproductive potential of the introduced parasitoid.…”

“…Differences in distribution and Wolbachia infection types in parasitoids may give clues which enable parasitoid strains to be used more effectively. It is particularly important to determine the infection status of different populations when they are mixed either in the laboratory for mass production or when they are released in the field where a population is already established (Mochiah et al, 2002). On the other hand, Wolbachia has also been shown to induce parthenogenesis in parasitic Hymenoptera which can be considered as an advantage in biological control (Stouthamer et al, 1990;Zchori-Fein et al, 1992;Stouthamer, 1997).…”

Abstract. Wolbachia is a maternally transmitted intracellular symbiont which causes reproductive distortions in the arthropods it infects. In recent years there has been an increasing interest in using Wolbachia as a potential tool for biological control by genetic manipulation of insect pests. In the present paper we report Wolbachia infection in several Trissolcus wasps (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) which are important egg parasitoids of the sunn pest, Eurygaster integriceps Puton (Heteroptera: Scutellaridae). We used DNA sequence data for a gene encoding a surface protein of Wolbachia (wsp) not only to confirm Wolbachia infection but also to discriminate Wolbachia strains. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that Wolbachia strains in Trissolcus species were closely related to one another and belonged to supergroup B. Determination of the infection status of various populations, the possible role of Wolbachia in causing the incompatibility and knowledge of the reproductive compatibility of Trissolcus populations is important for the success of parasitoids in sunn pest management.

Wolbachia is an endocytoplasmic bacterium responsible for various reproductive modifi cations in arthropods. In several species, Wolbachia induces a phenomenon called cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), whereby crosses between a Wolbachia-infected male and a healthy female are incompatible. In haplodiploid species reproducing with arrhenotokous parthenogenesis, CI crosses produce only parthenogenetic males, inducing a male-biased sex ratio in the population. Here, we used two modeling approaches to evaluate the respective infl uences of demographic and biological parameters on Wolbachia fi xation probability and on the sex ratio peak occurring during a Wolbachia invasion, and compared these parameters to values reported in the literature. Results suggest that the impact of Wolbachia invasion on population dynamics remains relatively limited, especially for parasitoids with high rates of sib-mating. The consequences for introduction of the parasitoids for biological control are discussed. Résumé. Un modèle d'étude de l'incompatibilité cytoplasmique induite par Wolbachia pipientis Hertig 1936 (Rickettsiales : Rickettsiaceae) induisant une incompatibilité cytoplasmique chez les populations arrhénotoques hapodiploïdes : les conséquences pour la lutte biologique.Wolbachia est une bactérie endocytoplasmique responsable de plusieurs phénomènes de modifi cation de la reproduction. Chez plusieurs espèces, Wolbachia induit un phénomène appelé Incompatibilité Cytoplasmique (IC) : les croisements entre mâle infecté par Wolbachia et femelle non-infectée sont incompatibles. Chez les espèces incompatibles se reproduisant par parthénogenèse arrhénotoque, du fait que les croisements incompatibles donnent uniquement des mâles, l'IC entraîne un biais de sexratio dans la population. Dans cette étude, nous avons utilisé deux approches de modélisation pour évaluer les infl uences respectives de paramètres démographiques et biologiques sur la probabilité de maintenir Wolbachia et sur l'augmentation de la sex-ratio durant la phase d'invasion. Ces paramètres ont été comparés aux valeurs observées dans la littérature. Les résultats suggèrent que l'impact de l'invasion de Wolbachia sur la dynamique des populations est relativement limité, particulièrement pour les parasitoïdes avec un fort taux de croisement frères-soeurs. Les conséquences pour les stratégies d'introduction de parasitoïdes dans le cadre de la lutte biologique sont discutées.
