Abstract:

Melittobia acasta Walker is a parasitoid of Musca domestica. The effect of food on longevity of M. acasta, and the effect of the age of the parasitoid and pupae, the densities of the parasitoid and fly's pupae on parasitism rate were studied. The results showed that M. acasta fed with 15% glucose solution had the longest longevity. An individual of M. acasta could lay eggs in up to eight fly pupae of M. domestica, and could reproduce 58 progenies. Up to 22 progenies would be reproduced in one pupa. The parasitic rate decreased with the increment of the age of M. acasta and M. domestica pupae. The relationship between the parasitic rate (Y) and the age of the parasitoid(X) was y=3.36-0.062x-0.045x2, and the relationship between the parasitic rate (Y) and the age of the pupa(X) was y=2.50+0.91x-0.34x2 The relationship between the density of M. domestica and the parasitic rate could be described by Holling Model Na=0.6165TrN0(1+0.6165×0.499 N0), and the relationship between the density of M. acasta and the parasitic rate was a=0.4943p-0.306.
