Management of protein intake in the fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2011
This work tested if carbohydrates and proteins ingestion is regulated in the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, to optimize survival and reproduction. Adult food treatments were established by providing sugar and hydrolyzed yeast in various combinations either alone or mixed at a standard 3:1 ratio (sugar:hydrolyzed yeast).

Native and Introduced Host Plants of Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Northwestern Argentina [PDF]

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2003
Wild or commercially grown, native and exotic fruit were collected in 30 localities in the Tucumán province (NW Argentina) from January 1990 to December 1995 to determine their status as hosts of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and/or Ceratitis ...

Mitochondrial DNA Variation in Anastrepha fraterculus

1993
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) is one of the most important fruit pests in Latin America. As currently defined, it is one of the most widely distributed (Mexico, Central and South America) and polyphagous species of the genus. It also presents one of the most difficult taxonomic problems due to morphological variability.

Identification of male-borne attractants in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Chemoecology, 2014
The South American fruit fly is one of the most destructive polyphagous pests in South America. In this species, males gathered in aggregations emit volatiles that attract females; however, the compounds involved in this task remain unknown. In this study, we investigated the chemical composition of the volatile blend emitted by males aiming to ...

Intermediate metabolism during the ontogenetic development of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology, 2007
The fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus is a major pest of native and exotic fruit trees in South America. Changes in weight, water content and metabolism were observed during its ontogenetic development in standard conditions (25 degrees C, RH=60% and 14 h:10 h photoperiod). The metabolic variables glycogen, total proteins, triglycerides and total lipids

Description of Larvae of Anastrepha amplidentata and Anastrepha durantae with Review of Larval Morphology of the Fraterculus Group (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2021
We describe and illustrate for the first time the third instars of Anastrepha amplidentata Norrbom and Anastrepha durantae Norrbom from Peru. Morphological structures such as the facial mask, cephaloskeleton, and spiracles are described using optical and scanning electron microscopy.

Biological Activity of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2018
Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is considered to be one of the major pest insects in fruit orchards worldwide. Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bacillales: Bacillaceae) strains are widely used as biological control agents and show high biological activity against different insect species.

Anastrepha fraterculus (South American fruit fly).

2021
Abstract A. fraterculus has a broad host range, particularly in the family Myrtaceae, but it is also a pest of citrus and apples [Malus domestica] in some areas. It is the most important pest species of Anastrepha in subtropical areas of South America, thus it and Anastrepha ludens may be more of a threat of introduction to other ...

The Identity of Specimens of the Anastrepha fraterculus Complex (Diptera, Tephritidae) with Atypical Aculeus Tip

Neotropical Entomology, 2013
Several specimens collected in Paraguay along with Anastrepha fraterculus (sensu lato) have an aculeus tip similar to species from the fraterculus complex, but the teeth of the aculeus of these specimens are poorly defined. As Anastrepha species identification is based mostly on subtle differences in the aculeus tip, we studied these specimens with ...
