Host-seeking stimulant for parasite of corn earworm: isolation, identification, and synthesis.

R L Jones, W J Lewis, M C Bowman, M Beroza, B A Bierl.   

Abstract

13-Methylhentriacontane has been identified in the feces and larvae of the corn earworm, Heliothis zea (Boddie), as the major constituent that triggers the short-range host-seeking response of the parasite Microplitis croceipes (Cresson). This chemical, the first found that mediates the complex host-parasite relation, could upgrade present efforts to use parasites for insect control. Bioassay of closely related compounds indicated that the structural requirements for activity are remarkably specific.
