研究了一种寄生蜂——竹巴瓦伊Aenasius bambawalei的生物学参数和对扶桑绵粉虫（Phenacoccus solenopsis）的寄生水平。在实验室条件下研究了寄生蜂的寄生效率、化蛹时间、羽化时间和成虫性比等生物学参数。采用PCR法测定田间采集粉蚧的寄生水平。结果表明，在研究期间，寄生率有所增加，2009年的寄生率高于前2年。
A parasitic wasp, Aenasius bambawalei, was studied for its biological parameters and parasitism levels in the cotton mealybug (Phenacoccus solenopsis). Biological parameters including parasitism efficiency, time to pupation, time to eclosion and adult sex ratio were studied under lab conditions. Parasitism levels in field collected mealybug were determined using PCR. Results showed an increase in parasitism over the study period, with higher parasitism levels in 2009 compared to the preceding 2 years.
