The document discusses various ways that parasitoids can be classified, including by the stage of the host they attack (egg, larva, pupa), whether they are solitary or gregarious, and whether they are ecto-parasitoids that feed externally or endo-parasitoids that feed internally. Parasitoids can also be classified based on their host range (monophagous, polyphagous, oligophagous). The relationship between parasitoids and their hosts is a form of symbiosis in which the parasitoid lives at the expense of the host, often killing it during its own development.
Parasitoids and Predators, their attributes.Bhumika Kapoor
Insect parasitoids have an immature life stage that develops on or within a single insect host, ultimately killing the host, hence the value of parasitoids as natural enemies. Adult parasitoids are free-living and may be predaceous. Parasitoids are often called parasites, but the term parasitoid is more technically correct. Most beneficial insect parasitoids are wasps or flies, although some rove beetles (see Predators) and other insects may have life stages that are parasitoids.
where as the Major characteristics of arthropod predators includes adults and immatures are often generalists rather than specialists, they generally are larger than their prey, they kill or consume many prey males, females, immatures, and adults may be predatory and they attack immature and adult prey.
In this PPT slides you will come to know about the different kinds of pest which is infesting in WHEAT plant. And also you will come to know about their management practices and also you will have an knowledge about some common chemicals which is being uses to eradicate the pests/diseases infesting in wheat plant.

15.1 Parasites Draw Resources from Host Organisms
Parasitism is a type of symbiotic relationship between organisms of different species. One species—the parasite—benefits from a prolonged, close association with the other species—the host—which is harmed. Parasites increase their fitness by exploiting host organisms for food, habitat, and dispersal. Although they draw nourishment from the tissues of the host organism, parasites typically do not kill their hosts as predators do. However, the host may die from secondary infection or suffer reduced fitness as a result of stunted growth, emaciation, modification of behavior, or sterility. In general, parasites are much smaller than their hosts, are highly specialized for their mode of life, and reproduce more quickly and in greater numbers than their hosts.
The definition of parasitism just presented may appear unambiguous. But as with predation the term parasitism is often used in a more general sense to describe a much broader range of interactions (see Section 14.1). Interactions between species frequently satisfy some, but not all, parts of this definition because in many cases it is hard to demonstrate that the host is harmed. In other cases, there may be no apparent specialization by the parasite or the interaction between the organisms may be short-lived. For example, because of the episodic nature of their feeding habits, mosquitoes and hematophagic (blood-feeding) bats are typically not considered parasitic. Parasitism can also be used to describe a form of feeding in which one animal appropriates food gathered by another (the host), which is a behavior termed cleptoparasitism (literally meaning “parasitism by theft”). An example is the brood parasitism practiced by many species of cuckoo (Cuculidae). Many cuckoos use other bird species as “babysitters”; they deposit their eggs in the nest of the host species, which raise the cuckoo young as one of their own (see Chapter 12 opening photograph). In the following discussion, we use the narrower definition of parasite as given in the previous paragraph, which includes a wide range of organisms—viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and an array of invertebrates, among them arthropods. A heavy load of parasites is termed an infection, and the outcome of an infection is a disease.
Parasites are distinguished by size. Ecologically, parasites may be classified as microparasites and macroparasites. Microparasites include viruses, bacteria, and protists. They are characterized by small size and a short generation time. They develop and multiply rapidly within the host and are the class of parasites that we typically associate with the term disease. The infection generally lasts a short time relative to the host’s expected life span. Transmission from host to host is most often direct, although other species may serve as carriers.

An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Based on stages of attack
Based on number per host
Based on feeding type
Based on tropic level (or) Food web relationship
Based on host range
Based on parasitism
Based on other categories

3. Based on stages of attack
3
Egg parasitoid
Begins and completes the life cycle in the eggs of the host
Eg- Mymaridae, Platygastridae and Trichogrammatidae
Trichogramma chilonis on eggs of cotton bollworm,
sugarcane borers and rice leaf folder
4. Larval parasitoid
4
Begins and completes the life cycle in the larva of the host
Eg- Braconidae, Bethylidae and Ichneumonidae
Bracon brevicornis on coconut BHC
5. Pupal parasitoid
5
Begins and completes life cycle in the pupae of the host
Eg- Trichospilus pupivora (Eulophidae) and Brachymeria
nephantidis (Chalcididae) on pupa of coconut BHC
6. Egg-larval parasitoid
6
Begins the life cycle in the egg stage of the host and
completes in larval stage
Eg- Chelonus blackburnii (Braconidae) on cotton bollworm
7. Larval-pupal parasitoid
7
Begins the life cycle in the larval stage of the host and
completes in the pupal stage
Eg- Isotima javensis (Ichneumonidae) on sugarcane top
borer
8. Nymphal- adult parasitoid
8
Begins the life cycle in the nymphal stage and completes in
the adult stage of the host
Eg- Encarsia formosa (Aphelinidae) on cotton whitefly,
Epiricania melanoleuca (Epipyrophidae) on sugarcane leaf
hopper and Aphelinus mali (Aphelinidae) on aphids
9. Based on numbers per host
9
Solitary parasitoid - Single parasite develops in the single
host. Eg- Ichneumonidae
Gregarious parasitoid – Many larvae develops and
matured in the single host. Eg- Braconidae
10. 10
Poly-embryonic parasitoid – 1000’s per host. It is the
extended version of gregarious parasitoids. Important
polyembryonic parasitoid families are Platygastridae,
Encyrtidae and Dryinidae.
11. Based on feeding type
11
Ecto parasitoid- An insect parasite which feed externally on
the host body and complete their development externally on
its host. Eg- Epiricania melanoleuca on sugarcane Pyrilla.
12. 12
Endo parasitoid- An insect parasite which complete their
development within or inside the host body.
Eg- Aphelinus mali on Apple wooly aphid.
13. Based on host range
13
Monophagous- Attacks single host species- G. nephantidis
on coconut BHC.
Polyphagous- Attacks widely differing species. Example is
Trichogramma spp.
Oligophagous- Attacks closely related species- Braconidae,
Ichneumonidae.
14. Parasitism ??????
14
Relationship between host insects and parasitoid
One is going to be beneficial at the cost of host
This is a kind of symbiosis in which parasitoid lives at the
expense of the host and killing the host in the process of
development
Parasitization is an act of attack and ovipositioning the eggs
with the help of ovipositor by the parasitoid on the host
15. Based on parasitism
15
Simple parasitism- One parasitoid species attack one host.
G. nephantidis on coconut BHC.
Super parasitism- Attack a single host by many individuals
belonging to same species, that can mature in the host.
Trichospilus pupivora on pupae of coconut BHC.
Multiple parasitism- Attack a single host by many
individuals belonging to different species. Eriborus
trochanteratus (Ichneumonidae) and G. nephantidis on the
larvae of coconut BHC.
16. 16
Auto parasitism- Otherwise called as adelphoparasitism.
Female develops as a primary parasitoid but the male is a
secondary parasitoid through female of its own species.
This is also called as heteronomous hyperparasitoids.
Example is Encarsia formosa attacking scale insects and
whiteflies.
Cleptoparasitism- A parasitoid attacking a host, already
parasitized by another species of parasitoid. Pine shoot
moth attacked by either Eurytoma pini (Eurytomidae) or
Rhyacionia buoliana.
17. 17
Hyperparasitism- A parasitoid attacking another parasitoid.
Pleurotropis sp hyperparasitoid on Bracon brevicornis a
primary parasitoid.
Based on other categories
Idiobionts
The parasitoids are those which prevent any further
development of the host after initial paraitiztion
No development is possible in the host
Venom keeping fresh
Select fully developed insects
18. 18
Koinobionts
The venom injection is temporary
Allows the host to continue its development
Select younger instars
The host becomes an adult
There are two types of koinobionts parasitoids
Ecto and endo parasitoids
