Parasitism usually causes considerable changes in lipids and fatty acids by redirecting the development of the host. In this study, changes in weight and in free fatty acid content of cotton aphids were recorded after aphids had been parasitized. Results showed that the weight of parasitized Aphis gossypii was increased compared to nonparasitized aphids, and significantly increased weights were detected at 1, 2, and 3 instars after parasitization by Lysiphlebia japonica. Free fatty acid test kits and GC-MS showed that the fatty acid content increased in the early stage of parasitization but decreased after 3 days of parasitization. Seven genes related to the fatty acid synthesis pathway were significantly upregulated in the parasitized aphids, where they were 1.96–10.97 times greater. Our data described the change that occurs in the fatty acid content of parasitized A. gossypii.
