| Abstract | ||||
| Some parasitized larvae attack. the parasitoid cocoons or the pupal stage, other attack. the larvae. In all cases the parasitized host attacks only the parasitoid produced from its body. This phenomenon occurred in consistency with a 6% and independent from the controlling factors (season, temperature, light or feeding). The total body proteins were compared In parasitized and control larvae and It was found that parasitism affected the protein pattem and this effect was characterist'c in those larvae which attack diet's produced parasite. This phenomenon is interpret d as being a "retaliation" of hosllarvae against the endcparasnold. | ||||
