Genome of the parasitoid wasp Cotesia chilonis sheds light on amino acid resource exploitation

Abstract Background A fundamental feature of parasitism is the nutritional exploitation of host organisms by their parasites. Parasitoid wasps lay eggs on arthropod hosts, exploiting them for nutrition to support larval development by using diverse effectors aimed at regulating host metabolism. Howe...
