The mass production of insects is rapidly expanding globally, supporting multiple industrial needs. However, parasite infections in insect mass-production systems can lower productivity and can lead to devastating losses. High rearing densities and artificial environmental conditions in mass-rearing facilities affect the insect hosts as well as their parasites. Environmental conditions such as temperature, gases, light, vibration, and ionizing radiation can affect productivity in insect mass-production facilities by altering insect development and susceptibility to parasites. This review explores the recent literature on environment-host-parasite interactions with a specific focus on mass-reared insect species. Understanding these complex interactions offers opportunities to optimise environmental conditions for the prevention of infectious diseases in mass-reared insects.
昆虫的大规模生产正在全球范围内迅速扩张，以满足多种工业需求。然而，昆虫大规模生产系统中的寄生虫感染会降低生产力，并可能导致毁灭性的损失。大规模饲养设施中的高密度饲养和人工环境条件会影响昆虫宿主及其寄生虫。环境条件，如温度、气体、光照、振动和电离辐射，可以通过改变昆虫的发育和对寄生虫的易感性来影响昆虫大规模生产设施的生产力。本综述探讨了最近关于环境-宿主-寄生虫相互作用的文献，特别关注大规模饲养的昆虫物种。了解这些复杂的相互作用为优化大规模饲养昆虫的环境条件以预防传染病提供了机会。
