Abstract

Two lines of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor were analyzed: one infected with the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia and one not infected. Differences in morphological characteristics between the lines were observed, in particular in the degree of cuticle melanization and in body size of adult parasitoids. Sizes of both male and female parasitoids were significantly larger in the infected line. Wolbachia was found to affect levels of dopamine and tyrosine, phenoloxidase activity, and proline concentration in whole-body homogenates from different stages of parasitoid development.
