Responses of fruit flies (Tephritidae: Dacinae) to novel male attractants in north Queensland, Australia, and improved lures for some pest species [PDF]

, 2015
Male fruit fly attractants, cue-lure and methyl eugenol (ME), have been successfully used for the last 50 years in the monitoring and control of Dacini fruit flies (Bactrocera and Dacus species).

Preimaginal development of Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae) in brackish water gives rise to adult mosquitoes with thicker cuticles and greater insecticide resistance

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The principal arboviral vector Aedes aegypti can develop in coastal brackish water field habitats (0.5–15 g/L salt) with larvae possessing thicker cuticles and greater resistance to the larvicide Temephos. Females emerging from brackish water‐developing preimaginal stages are now shown to have thicker and remodelled leg and abdominal cuticles and ...

Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 7188-7196, October 2025.
Number of infested fruits, larval entries and F1 adults decreased as sterile males increased. Control cages had higher fecundity and fertility compared to treatment cages. Release ratios, 40:1 and 60:1 can enhance the efficacy of SIT. Abstract BACKGROUND Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a significant pest of citrus in ...

Host preference fruit flies Bactrocera carambolae (Drew & Hancock) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Drew and Hancock) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Jurnal Entomologi Indonesia, 2018
Host plant preference amongst several fruit species was studied for two fruit fly species i.e. Bactrocera carambolae (Drew & Hancock) and Bactrocera dorsalis (Drew & Hancock), which both belong to B. dorsalis species complex.

Survey of Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) from 23 Species of Fruits Collected in Sleman, Yogyakarta

Jurnal Perlindungan Tanaman Indonesia, 2020
Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are major pests of fruits and vegetables in many countries, including Indonesia. Knowledge of the fruit fly host range in a specific area is an important part of the area-wide pest management program to reduce the pest ...

Effects of X‐Ray Irradiation on the Biological Parameters, Gut Microbiota, and Gene Expression of Bactrocera dorsalis: Implications for the Sterile Insect Technique

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The sterile insect technique (SIT), traditionally reliant on gamma irradiation, has been an effective strategy for controlling Bactrocera dorsalis. However, strict regulations governing gamma radiation sources and the limited research on the responses of B. dorsalis to X‐ray irradiation have hindered the further development of SIT.

Double‐Stranded DNA Reduces dsRNA Degradation in the Saliva and Significantly Enhanced RNAi‐Mediated Gene Silencing in Halyomorpha halys

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
The invasive pest Halyomorpha halys causes significant crop losses requiring innovative pest control strategies such as RNA interference (RNAi). However, oral RNAi is largely ineffective in H. halys. This study shows that double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) stabilizes dsRNA in saliva by inhibiting a highly expressed nuclease.

Isolation and characterization of oligomerization domain I and II coding regions of doublesex genes in agricultural fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2010
Bactrocera fruit flies are ranked among the most destructive pests of the worldwide fruit and vegetable trades. Coding regions of two oligomerization domains within doublesex (dsx) genes were determined in Bactrocera dorsalis (oriental fruit fly) and B ...

Large‐scale exploration of relationships between microbial community characteristics and insecticide resistance in three wheat aphid species

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Environmental factors, particularly altitude and temperature, primarily influence host resistance to insecticides by affecting the abundance of the dominant symbiont (Buchnera) and the overall symbiont community. Abstract Insect symbionts play an important role in host physiology and biochemistry.
