Parasitism of fifth instar Manduca sexta larvae by the gregarious parasitoid Cotesia congregata prevented normal storage of tyrosine in the hemolymph, whereas total tyrosine levels increased over eight times in the hemolymph of unparasitized larvae by day 4. Tyrosine glucoside, the hemolymph storage
Parasitized Manduca sexta undergo developmental arrest in the instar (typically the fifth) from which the parasitoid wasp Cotesia congregata will emerge. Host hemolymph ecdysteroid titers as well as levels of other regulatory molecules are manipulated by the parasitoid to create an environmental mil
