| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Female wasps of parasitoid Cotesia kariyai oviposit several tens of eggs into the host larvae of armyworm Pseudaletia separata at each parasitization and the wasp larvae emerge from their hosts almost simultaneously about 10 days after parasitization. We found that wasp larvae initiated their emergence from the posterior part of the host larvae tightly ligated at arround the middle of their abdomen shortly before the wasp emergence. Since the wasp emergence was found to be induced by a host hemolymph factor, we performed the purification and characterization of the factor. The structure of the purified active factor was determined by LC-MS/MS and NMR analyses. Furthermore, we confirmed that the active factor was secreted from hemocytes. The results of a series of incubation experiments suggested that the secretion of the active factor from hemocytes was induced by a novel factor secreted from brain-9th abdominal ganglion.
