摘要：A component of a member of a test species that deleteriously affects a targetspecies that is a parasite of an adjoiner species is identified by a method including thesteps of (a) selecting the test species from among test species that are attached orinternal to a member of the adjoiner species whom was exposed to the target speciesbut did not react adversely thereto as did other exposed members of the adjoinerspecies; (b) separating at least one member of the selected test species into a pluralityof components; (c) exposing at least some of the separated components of themember(s) of the test species separately to members of the target species; and (d)examining such exposures to determine for such identification whether members of thetarget species have been deleteriously affected by such exposures. The test species maybe a symbiont or a traditional food source of the adjoiner species. A product includingsuch a test-species component identified as deleteriously affecting members of a targetspecies and/or an equivalent of the identified component is manufactured either byseparating the identified component in bulk quantities from members of the test species

or by synthesizing the identified component and/or an equivalent of the identifiedcomponent in bulk quantities. The product is tested to determine the extent of anydeleterious effect upon the adjoiner species and the extent of the deleterious effect ofthe product upon the target species. The method of manufacturing the product mayfurther include modifying the product to decrease any deleterious effect upon theadjoiner species and/or modifying the product to increase the deleterious effect uponthe target species.
