The impact of TYLCV and B. tabaci cryptic species on the life history traits of E. formosa.
To evaluate the potential impacts of plant virus and insect vector on a primary whitefly parasitoid, life history traits, including the developmental time (A), emergence rate (B) and longevity (C), of E. formosa were recorded. The 3rd instar nymphs of B. tabaci B and Q cryptic species were reared on healthy (NV) and TYLCV-infected tomato plants (V), respectively. Values (means ± SE) are from three biological replications. Within each panel, different letters indicate significant differences among treatments (P < 0.05).
