\nMy scientific activity focuses on Cotesia typhae<\/em> (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an African parasitoid. As this parasitoid appears to be strictly specialised on one host species Sesamia nonagrioides<\/em>, it\u2019s a good candidate to be used in a biological control program against this major pest-crop. We found that two Kenyan strains of C. typhae<\/em> differed in their ability to reproduce in a French population of S. nonagrioides<\/em>, a new host population for these strains.
\nThe aim of my thesis is to identify the behavioural, physiological, ecological and genetic mechanisms responsible for this interpopulational differentiation of reproductive success.<\/p>\n
