Biological parameters of Muscidifurax raptorellus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae), the key pest of olives

Biocontrol science and technology (Print), 2023
The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is one of the main pests of this crop and its control requires the development of methods environmentally safer than those used mostly nowadays, being biological control a possible alternative.

CRISPR/Cas9‐based white pupae mutant lines in Bactrocera spp. for sterile insect technique applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Bactrocera fruit flies are significant horticultural pests that cause major economic losses. A “neoclassical approach” incorporating genome editing via CRISPR/Cas9 to develop genetic sexing strains (GSS) could render the sterile insect technique (SIT) against these pests more efficient and cost‐effective.

The biogeographic patterns of the olive fly and its primary symbiont Candidatus Erwinia dacicola across the distribution area of the olive tree

Scientific Reports
The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi, 1790), is the major insect pest of olives attacking both cultivated and wild olive. Bactrocera oleae carries a primary and vertically transmitted symbiont, the bacterium Candidatus Erwinia dacicola.

The effect of fly attack (Bactrocera oleae) on the quality and phenolic content of Chemlal olive oil

Grasas y Aceites, 2009
The attack on olives by the pest Bactrocera oleae has been studied to determine its influence on the olive oil quality (free acidity, peroxide value, UV extinction, sensorial quality), the total polyphenol and the individual phenolic compounds.

Tests on the effectiveness of kaolin and copper hydroxide in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) [PDF]

, 2007
Repellent and antiovipositional products in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) find a great interest in organic farming, because of the lack of effective products able to kill the olive fly preimmaginal stages.

Suppression of Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupae by soil arthropods in the olive grove [PDF]

, 2016
Soil arthropods can provide ecosystem services, such as biological control of crop pests that spend part of their life cycle in the soil. This is the case of Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), one of the most important pests of olives.

Chemical cues involved in the host foraging behavior of Psyttalia concolor wasps to locate the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Foraging parasitoids rely on infochemicals, derived from the habitat, host plant and/or host insect itself. Here, we studied the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), a major pest in olive agroecosystem and its larval ...

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

Insect Science, EarlyView.
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.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Bactrocera minax (Diptera: Tephritidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The complete 16,043 bp mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Bactrocera minax (Diptera: Tephritidae) has been sequenced. The genome encodes 37 genes usually found in insect mitogenomes. The mitogenome information for B.

Copper nanoparticles interfere with insecticide sensitivity, fecundity and endosymbiont abundance in olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Pest Management Science
BACKGROUND The potential of copper nanoparticles (NPs) to be used as an alternative control strategy against olive fruit flies (Bactrocera oleae) with reduced sensitivity to the pyrethroid deltamethrin and the impact of both nanosized and bulk copper [Cu(
