Abstract
The development of the embryonic and larval stages of the internal gregarious parsitoid, Glyptapanteles (= Apanteles) militaris, is adversely affected by the hypertrophy strain of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus in the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta. The initial effects are cessation of parasitoid growth and general tissue disruption, followed by the melanization of parasitoid tissues. Melanization spreads from the parasitoids' caudal vesicle throughout the body, culminating in eventual encapsulation in virus-infected hosts. Parasitoids in armyworm hosts infected with the typical strain of nuclear polyhedrosis virus exhibited no abnormal development.
