Summary Introduction
To conclude: Whether the study differs at the end of the time period.
Introduction: Biological control agents are the natural enemies that are used to control the pests such as weeds, insects, mites, nematodes, and so on in order to generate a pest-free yield using methods namely predation, parasitism, and other means. The biological control agent such as Thelohania solenopsae is a natural enemy of the red imported fire ants. This microsporidian can decline the ant’s colony by infecting and shrinking the ovaries of the queen which is the female-reproducing ant.

1. When Grammia incorrupta caterpillars are infected by a parasitoid, they show an increased preference for acidic toxins found in larval food plants, and by choosing to eat these toxic plants when infected, are able to increase survival.
Life cycle complexity
Describe a generalized complex life cycle for a parasite that would encompass one or more intermediates hosts and multiple larval stages. Why would this heteroxenic life cycle be an evolutionary advantage over a monoxenic one?

He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward. In other words, Dr. Semmelweis exercised the first step…arrow_forward
