Precocious larvae, clonally produced together with reproductive siblings in the polyembryonic parasitoid Copidosoma floridanum, are known to physically attack competitors in multiparasitized hosts. In this study, we show that physiological suppression by C. floridanum, as well as precocious larval activity, causes death of the larval parasitoid Glyptapanteles pallipes. Approximately 70% of the hosts multiparasitized by C. floridanum and G. pallipes produced C. floridanum offspring, irrespective of the interval of multiparasitism. G. pallipes eggs or larvae died even in multiparasitized hosts that did not contain precocious larvae of C. floridanian. An injection of C. floridanum-parasitized or multiparasitized-host hemolymph into G. pallipes singly-parasitized hosts paralyzed almost all G. pallipes larvae within 70 h. In vitro analysis showed that the hemolymph factor toxic to G. pallipes eggs and larvae was present in C. floridanum-parasitized hosts through their larval stages. Heating or proteinase treatment reduced its toxicity, suggesting that the factor is a protein. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
