Population dynamics of the Florida wax scale, Ceroplastes floridensis (Homoptera: Coccidae), on citrus in Israel. 5. Effect of the parasite, Tetrastichus ceroplastae (Girault)

Abstract: 

The most prevalent parasite was Tetrastichus ceroplastae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), which produced annual peaks in spring and fall. Although T. ceroplastae was inefficient in reducing its host's populations, parasite populations are expected to provide a stabilizing influence on host populations. -from Authors
