Abstract

The Drosophila-parasitic wasp (parasitoid) associations involve integrating adaptations of considerable complexity. This review focuses on some of the factors that influence these interactions including host immunity, nutrition and hormonal changes, and parasitoid virulence and mechanisms of immune suppression.
