Impact of certain additives to diet on the biological and biochemical characteristics of peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata

Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences, 2018
To improve the mass rearing of Peach Fruit Fly, Bactrocera zonata different concentrations of Cacao, Curcuma and Selenium were added to the larval diet. The effects of these additives on the biological characteristics were evaluated.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis of the white-eye gene in the tephritid pest Bactrocera zonata. [PDF]

Insect Sci
Abstract Bactrocera zonata is a highly invasive agricultural pest that causes extensive damage to fruit crops. The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), a species‐specific and environmentally friendly pest control method, significantly benefits from the availability of Genetic Sexing Strains (GSSs) that enable efficient mass production of males for sterile ...

Detection of sex chromosomes in Tephritid pests using R-CQ and KAMY, two computational methods to support generic pest management applications. [PDF]

Insect Sci
Here, we present R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods developed for the detection of sex chromosome‐linked sequences. We evaluate their performance on newly generated chromosome‐level assemblies of four important Tephritid pest species: Ceratitis capitata, Bactrocera dorsalis, Bactrocera zonata, and Anastrepha ludens.

IAEA Coordinated Research Project on "A generic approach for the development of genetic sexing strains for Sterile Insect Technique applications"- an overview. [PDF]

Insect Sci
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.
