Comparative genomics of mutualistic viruses of Glyptapantelesparasitic wasps (2008)
Desjardins, Christopher A, Gundersen-Rindal, Dawn E, Hostetler, Jessica B, Tallon, Luke J, Fadrosh, Douglas W, Fuester, Roger W, ...
Abstract Background Polydnaviruses, double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, have evolved as obligate endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...

Abstract Background Bracoviruses (BVs), a group of double-stranded DNA viruses with segmented genomes, are mutualistic endosymbionts of parasitoid wasps. Virus particles are replication deficient and...
A Novel Nonchemical Method for Quarantine Treatment of Fruits: California Red Scale on Citrus (2004)
Roger W. Fuester, Michael F. Kozempel, Lisa D. Forster, Neal Goldberg, Laura I. Casillas, Kenneth S. Swan
A process for removing or killing California red scale, Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell), from citrus fruit as a postharvest treatment was evaluated. The process subjects the fruit to vacuum, steam, and...

Aphantorhaphopsis samarensis (Villeneuve), a European tachinid, has been released in North America for classical biological control of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar (L.). This study examined the...
