Culturable bacteria associated with Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1: in search of nitrogen‐fixing symbionts with biotechnological potential

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1621-1640, October 2025.
Anastrepha fraterculus, a major fruit fly pest in South America, benefits from gut bacteria for nutrient assimilation and nitrogen fixation. This study examined culturable gut bacteria in A. fraterculus males from wild, lab‐reared, and lab‐colony groups, focusing on diazotrophs.

Positive and Purifying Selection Influence the Evolution of Doublesex in the Anastrepha fraterculus Species Group

PLoS ONE, 2012
The gene doublesex (dsx) is considered to be under strong selective constraint along its evolutionary history because of its central role in somatic sex differentiation in insects. However, previous studies of dsx used global estimates of evolutionary rates to investigate its molecular evolution, which potentially miss signals of adaptive changes in ...

Genetic consequences of domestication and refreshment on colonies of the South American fruit fly

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1557-1574, October 2025.
Abstract For almost a decade, natural populations of the South American fruit fly have been targeted for control through Sterile Insect Technique projects. To ensure a sustainable supply of competitive sterile flies for this approach, it is essential to understand the effects of domestication when strains of this pest are initially brought into the ...

Mating compatibility among different wild and laboratory strains of the Brazil‐1 morphotype of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1607-1620, October 2025.
Isolation Index (ISI) estimates were obtained from mating compatibility tests between flies of the different laboratory strains from CENA/USP and wild populations (Vacaria‐WV; and Pelotas‐WP) from southern Brazil. Abstract In cases where a pest that is target of a Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) campaign is a member of a cryptic species complex, it is ...

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 ...

Frutíferas hospedeiras de moscas-das-frutas: arrancá-las ou conservá-las?

Agropecuária Catarinense, 2022
No Sul do Brasil, a incidência da mosca-das-frutas sul-americana Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) tem sido uma das principais limitações à produção de frutíferas de clima temperado nativas e exóticas.

Virulence of nematodes against larvae of the south-American fruit fly in laboratory using soil from Porto Amazonas, Paraná, Brazil, as substrate

Ciência Rural, 2015
: Anastrepha fraterculus is an important orchard pest. Its management has been based in chemical sprays, but biological control is a growing demand. The objective of this work was to evaluate, under laboratory conditions, the virulence of eight nematode

Improvement of colony management in insect mass‐rearing for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1476-1494, October 2025.
Abstract Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) applications against major insect pests and disease vectors rely on the cost‐effective production of high‐quality sterile males. This largely depends on the optimal management of target pest colonies by maximizing the benefits provided by a genetically rich and pathogen‐free mother colony, the presence of ...
