Cotesia is a genus of braconid wasps first described by Peter Cameron in 1891. Some species parasitize caterpillars of species considered pests, and are used as biocontrol agents. Cotesia congregata parasitizes the tomato and the tobacco hornworms. C. glomerata and C. rubecula feed on the cabbage white and other white butterfly caterpillars.

Cotesia glomerata, the white butterfly parasite, is a small parasitoid wasp belonging to family Braconidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 publication 10th edition of Systema Naturae .

2021年3月2日 · 进一步研究发现，寄生因子盘绒茧蜂病毒Cotesia vestalis Bracovirus（CvBV）影响了TK在中肠的表达从而调控了寄主小菜蛾的脂代谢。 随后，对CvBV感染的寄主中肠细胞进行转录组分析，发现3个CvBV基因 CvBV 9-2，CvBV 9-5和CvBV...

Cotesia glomerata was introduced to North America in 1883 for the control of the imported cabbageworm on cole crops and has become a major mortality factor of cabbageworm. Cotesia adults are small (about 7 mm), dark wasps and resemble flying ants or tiny flies.

2022年5月30日 · 二化螟盘绒茧蜂（Cotesia chilonis）是水稻害虫二化螟的幼虫期优势寄生蜂，且发挥有重要的自然控制作用。 通过构建和比较二化螟及二化螟盘绒茧蜂的氨基酸合成通路，结合代谢组分析和氨基酸补偿性实验等，揭示了寄生蜂利用寄主氨基酸营养资源的分子机制和基因组特性，为深入理解寄生行为的营养调控及规模化繁育寄生蜂提供理论依据和技术支撑。...

2022年5月24日 · To fill this gap in knowledge, we conducted genome sequencing of the Bracovirus (a family of PDVs)-carrying endoparasitoid wasp Cotesia chilonis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), which is a natural enemy of the notorious insect pest Chilo suppressalis (rice stem borer) and is widely used as a biological control agent (Fig. 1B) [26, 27].

Based on a wealth of information – morphological, molecular, biological, and ecological – we describe this new species of Cotesia from Africa, the fifth member of the flavipes complex, and present the first data showing that it is a successful parasitoid of European populations of S. nonagrioides, a major maize pest in West Africa and in Mediter...

Cotesia glomerata (L.) is a parasitoid wasp of the imported cabbageworm (Pieris rapae) a serious pest of cabbage and other cole crops. C. glomerata was introduced to North America in 1883 as a part of a classical biological control program for the control of the imported cabbageworm, and has become a major mortality factor of cabbageworm ...

Cotesia sesamiae is a parasitoid of lepidopteran stem borers in sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, the host community on maize and sorghum differs between western highlands, where the endemic noctuid B. fusca dominates, and the eastern lowlands where the invasive crambid C. partellus and the endemic noctuid S. calamistis dominate.
