Proteomic analysis of the venom from the endoparasitoid wasp Pteromalus puparum (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae).
TL;DR: A proteomic analysis of the venom from the endoparasitoid wasp Pteromalus puparum revealed that the transcript levels of calreticulin and arginine kinase were developmentally changed, suggesting a possible correlation with the oviposition process.

Inhibition of host cell encapsulation through inhibiting immune gene expression by the parasitic wasp venom calreticulin.
TL;DR: The results suggest that P. puparum venom protects its offspring against host cellular immune responses via its functional component PpCRT to inhibit the expression of host cellular response-related genes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the actions of venom on host gene expression influence immunity as well as other aspects of host biology in ways that benefit the development and emergence of the next generation of parasitoids.
Pteromalus puparum venom impairs host cellular immune responses by decreasing expression of its scavenger receptor gene.
TL;DR: It is inferred that one mechanism of impairing P. rapae hemocytic immune reactions is by silencing expression of Pr-SR, a newly discovered immune-disabling mechanism in the Pieris rapae/Pteromalus puparum host/parasitoid system.

Insights into the venom composition and evolution of an endoparasitoid wasp by combining proteomic and transcriptomic analyses
TL;DR: Using a combination of transcriptomic and proteomic approaches, 70 putative venom proteins in P. puparum are identified and show higher similarity to venom proteins from the related ectoparasitoid Nasonia vitripennis than from other more distantly related endopar asitoids.
