    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on a research conducted in order to analyze cellular immunosuppression of the sugar cane borer Diatraea saccharalis (D. saccharalis) parasitized by the endoparasitoid Cotesia flavipes in terms of encapsulation, melanization, and hemocyte nodule formation and to enhance susceptibility of D. saccharalis to Bacillus thuringiensis (B. thuringiensis). The study revealed the higher susceptibility exhibited by the D. saccharalis towards B. thuringiensis.
