This thesis focuses on variations in parasitoid virulence and host resistance that explain variations in outcome in the Leptopilina boulardi-Drosophila yakuba system. Two parasitoid lines, having opposite virulence abilities against D. yakuba, have been compared for host selection behaviour and virulent strategies. Results suggest the existence of a relationship between virulence properties and host selection behaviour in L. boulardi. Besides, they demonstrate that different virulence strategies can be found in a parasitoid species. The physiological effects of parasitism on host immunity are described and the nature of virulence factors is analysed. The genetic and physiological bases of resistance are also considered, using two host lines...
