Influence of microbiota in the susceptibility of parasitic wasps to abamectin insecticide: deep sequencing, esterase and toxicity tests

Abstract

The results suggest that the microbiota can modify the susceptibility of E. mundus to pesticides, which in turn supports the importance of the microbial community in natural enemies that it should be considered as a factor in risk assessment tests of pesticides. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
