The polydnavirus is not the only factor affecting development of the host; teratocytes will have a similar effect, and it is likely that a large combination of different factors is needed to replicate the biological effects of parasitization.

While " G . nephantidis " proves to be the dominant parasitizing species over " B . brevicornis " due to more developed parental care in " B . brevicornis " and therefore reduced number of parasitization, they both act as effective species in controlling the Coconut black-headed caterpillar.

Radiological and invasive exploratory procedures can be necessary for an accurate diagnosis yet pose a health risk to the patient . radiographic diagnostics expose the patient to radiation and surgical diagnostic procedures can carry a high risk of complications and mortality such as a lumbar puncture, the only reliable diagnostic procedure for diagnosing rare terminal forms of parasitization which the CDC reports as only being diagnosed post mortem 75 % of the time.
