Effects of the polydnavirus of Cotesia congregata on the immune system and development of non-habitual hosts of the parasitoid

Polydnaviruses (PDV) are obligate mutualistic symbionts found in association with some groups of parasitic Hymenoptera. In these groups, they suppress the immune response of the parasitoid’s host and are required for successful parasitoid reproduction. Several PDV effects have been described in diff...
