Responses of Anastrepha Fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Pesticides Used in Organic Fruit Production

Revista Colombiana de Entomología, 2012
The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an economically important pest of fruit production in Southern Brazil. In organically managed orchards the species has traditionally been controlled with oils, plant extracts, and solutions such as pyroligneous ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 618-639, April 2026.
The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

IAEA Coordinated Research Project on “A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications”— an overview

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 458-462, April 2026.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) plays an important role in environmentally sustainable pest management. Its effectiveness hinges on specialized genetic tools called genetic sexing strains (GSSs), which enable the production and release of sterile male insects while excluding females.

Molecular evolution and genetic diversity of defective chorion 1 in Anastrepha fraterculus and Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera, Tephritidae)

Development Genes and Evolution
Abstract The family Tephritidae comprises numerous fruit fly species, some of which are economically significant, such as several in the genus Anastrepha. Most pest species in this genus belong to the fraterculus group, characterized by closely related species that are difficult to differentiate due to recent divergence and gene flow ...

How Do Female Pest Tephritids Behave During Male Courtship?

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 272-284, March 2026.
In this paper, the female role during male courtship was described for the first time in fruit flies. Our findings show that females imitate some male behaviors and suggest that certain behaviors are associated with male mating success. Indeed, the Mediterranean fruit fly displays fewer behavioral units (i.e., shorter courtship sequences) than ...

Mass Rearing of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae): A Preliminary Strategy

The Florida Entomologist, 2001
The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann), occurs from Mexico to Argentina and attacks some 80 species of host plants, including mango, citrus, guava, apple and coffee (Da Silva et al. 1996). In extensive fruit producing regions of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, the only two fruit fly species of economic and quarantine importance ...

Toxicity of fenthion to Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) (Diptera:Tephritidae): dose response analysis [PDF]

Anais da Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 1997
Three toxicological bioassays were performed in two F1 south Brazilian field populations of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.). Lethal doses of fenthion (50% and 90%) were estimated in two bioassays, with oral administration, and with residual contact bioassay.
