Abstract:

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema) kill their invertebrate hosts with the aid of a mutualistic bacterium. The bacteria (Xenorhabdus spp. for steinernematids and Photorhabdus spp. for heterorhabditids) are primarily responsible for killing the host and providing the nematodes with nutrition and defense against secondary invaders. Photorhabdus is a Gram-negative bacterium in the Enterobacteriaceae family with high virulence towards their insect hosts. To achieve high mortality rates Photorhabdus produces a variety of virulence factors such as toxins, lipas

Maternal protein secretions from the parthenogenetic endoparasitoid wasp Venturia canescens Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) were analysed regarding their ability to protect the parasitoid egg against the host immune system. These secretions include nucleic acid-free glycoproteins, called virus-like particles (VLPs) that are produced in the ovarian calyx gland. Results found that VLP-free calyx fluid has the ability to actively suppress host defence reactions, rather than VLPs on the egg surface being solely responsible for the protection of the egg. It wa

Abstract:

Teladorsagia circumcincta is a common parasitic nematode of the sheep abomasum, causing reduced growth in young lambs. The widespread development of anthelmintic resistant parasites has driven the need for alternative control strategies. Resistant immunity is acquired through repeated exposure to the parasite. The immune response and clinical outcome vary greatly between animals, but resistance is heritable. The aims of this project were: 1) understand how sheep respond to nematode infection; 2) understand and identify genes associated with the response; 3) identify variation within those gene

Abstract:

Social insects are ecologically dominant because of their specialized, cooperative castes. Reproductive queens lay eggs, while workers take part in brood rearing, nest defense, and foraging. These cooperative castes are a prime example of phenotypic plasticity, whereby a single genetic code gives rise to variation in form and function based on environmental differences. Thus, social insects are well suited for studying mechanisms which give rise to and maintain phenotypic plasticity. At the molecular level, phenotypic plasticity coincides with the differential expression of genes. This d

Abstract:

Baculoviruses have been used as biocontrol agents to control insect pests in agriculture since the 1970s. Out of the fifteen virus families known to infect insects, baculoviruses offer the greatest potential as insect biopesticides, due to their high host specificity which makes them extremely safe to humans, other vertebrates, plants and non-target microorganisms. They comprise of two genera: nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) and granuloviruses (GVs).

Abstract:

Abstract In social insects a major cost of social life is the high number of pathogens found in large societies and the greater likelihood of transmission of pathogens among closely related individuals. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of high pathogen pressure on the molecular evolution of genes involved in the innate immune system in social insects. In addition, the transmission dynamics of the intracellular bacteria Wolbachia in wood ants was examined. By comparing DNA sequences from diverse species of ants and honeybees it was shown that the immune genes in hymenopteran

Abstract:

A sophisticated evolutionary conserved innate immune system has evolved in insects to fight pathogens and to restrict damage in harmful (danger) situations including cancer. A significant amount of knowledge about different infection models in Drosophila has been generated in past decades, which revealed functional resemblances and implications for vertebrate systems. However, how Drosophila responds towards multicellular parasitic nematodes and in danger situations is still little understood. Therefore, the aim of the thesis was to characterize multiple aspects of the host defense in the two

Abstract:

Altruism is defined as a trait in an individual that increases some other individual’s fitness at the expense of her own. Therefore, existence of such traits in a population is an evolutionary paradox, as natural selection should eliminate such a trait. Extreme altruism in the form of eusociality where individuals relinquish their own reproduction to help raise other’s offspring has been an enigma in evolutionary biology since Darwin. Primitively eusocial organisms provide one with a unique system to study the evolution and maintenance of altruism as in these kind of species most of the indivi

Abstract:

The Russian wheat aphid (RWA) (Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov) is one of the important insect pests of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and other grasses. To date, there are four RWA biotypes identified in South Africa. The virulent biotypes emerged, partly due to climate change and new genetic variations within populations of RWA; hence there is a need to improve host-plant resistance, as an effective control measure. Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) accession Cereal Introduction (CItr) 2401 is known to be resistant to all RWA biotypes worldwide. The goal of this study w
