Abstract
⺠The effect of parasitism and predator-prey density on predator efficiency examined. ⺠Predation by predator larvae influenced by parasitism and mutual interference. ⺠The effect of parasitism and mutual interference declined as prey density increased. ⺠The invading predators may have higher impacts when they escape from parasitism. ⺠Carefully timed release of parasitism immuned-stages could maximize their control.
