Abstract
Summary: Pyemotes zhonghuajia Yu, Zhang & He is an ectoparasitic mite of various pests. Our studies found that P. zhonghuajia could kill Spodoptera frugiperda (Smith), Mythimna separata (Walker), and Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) at different developmental stages. Through an integrated approach of lipidomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics, we explored the immune response of S. frugiperda parasitized by P. zhonghuajia. In order to explore toxin proteins of P. zhonghuajia, we mined toxin genes by combining genome and transcriptome.
