Olfactory Sensilla and Olfactory Genes in the Parasitoid Wasp <i>Trichogramma pretiosum</i> Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)
<i>Trichogramma pretiosum</i> Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is a tiny natural egg parasitoid of several agricultural pest insects, which has been widely used in the biological control for <i>Plutella xylostella</i>, <i>Helicoverpa armigera</i>, <i>S...
