Nasonia wasp embryos were dissected from Lucillia sericata pupae after parasitization for 12-24 h and washed with alcohol and 10% sodium hypochlorite solution to obtain germ-free embryos. After rearing the germ-free embryos and supplying them with Nasonia rearing medium to grow and develop in vitro, germ-free Nasonia adults were obtained.
