PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PATASITOIDS OF THE CLASS INSECTA AND THEIR HOSTS
In the present review, available literary data on physiological and biochemical interactions between parasitoids and their hosts are analyzed. In order to achieve the successful development in or on their host, parasitoids widely use various strategies suppressing host's immunity. Suppression agents used by parasitoids include venom and ovarian fluid components and symbiotic microorganisms. The effect of parasitoids on host organism is complicated, covering many vital physiological functions supplemented by changes of host metabolism and behavior. The influence of ecto- and endoparasitoids on host organism is analyzed separately.
