As the dust density decreases the population density of the scale diminishes from 23.0 to 3.1 scales/leaf and is at a very low level in the interior of the orchard. The proportion of scales killed by unknown causes and the percent parasitism increase from the road towards the interior. Scale mortality is attributed to the host-feeding activity of the female parasite. A regression analysis suggested that 1.30 scales in the preoviposition stage and 1.07 ovipositing scales are killed through host-feeding for each egg deposited by the parasite. The immature stages of the parasite are not affected by dust or host-feeding. Laboratory experiments where branches from potted olives were treated with road dust indicate that the dust gives 13 times higher fixation of the crawlers. On squash with dust bands, where the crawlers can choose the substrate, this value exceeds 40. This observation is now used in the insectary to improve fixation of the crawlers, by dusting the squash with talc prior to infestation. Under equal scale densities the parasite prefers clean host over dusted by a factor of 2.9. High infestations along some roads are caused by the dust which facilitates fixation of the crawlers. High population levels are maintained because the activity of the parasites is reduced in the presence of dust. A. chilensis, which maintains 23-25\% total parasitism under scale densities ranging from 3.1-8.9 scales/leaf, is responsible for controlling its host below an economic level in the interior of the orchard.}, author = {Alexandrakis, V. and Neuenschwander, P.} } @article {2652, title = {[The role of Aphytis chilensis (Hymenoptera Aphelinidae) the main parasite of Aspidiotus nerii (Homoptera Diaspididae) on olive trees in Crete Greece.] (in French)}, journal = {EntomophagaEntomophaga}, volume = {25}, number = {1}, year = {1980}, pages = {61-72}, abstract = {The parthenogenetic strain of A. chilensis How in Greece shows 2 maxima of abundance, 1 in spring and the other in autumn.

Up to 4 parasites can develop on a young scale .female.. Of all scales, 40.2\% exhibit superparasitism at the egg level, which then decreases to 13.7\% in the nymphs.

For every living immature parasite found in a sample, the aprasite .female. has killed another young scale .female. through host-feeding. Over a period of 4 yr each peak in active parasitism, which increases from 18.4\% in 1975 to 61.4\% in 1977, coincides with a corresponding increase in the maximum scale mortality, which runs from 61.7-88.2\%.
