Evaluation of Providencia rettgeri pathogenicity against laboratory Mediterranean fruit fly strain (Ceratitis capitata)

PLoS ONE, 2018
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is often referred to as the most severe agricultural pest. Its biological control is mainly through the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). Colonization, mass-rearing

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.

First register of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) in star fruit in Teresina, Altos and Parnaiba, state of Piaui, Brazil/
Primeiro registro de moscas-das-frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae) em carambola nos municípios de Teresina, Altos e Parnaíba no estado do Piauí

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2007
The present work aims to register the occurrence of the fruit flies associated to star fruit (Averrhoa carambola L.) in three counties of the state of Piaui, as well as to determine the frequency and the index of infestation of these insects.

Analysis of the Mediterranean fruit fly [Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann)] spatio-temporal distribution in relation to sex and female mating status for precision IPM

PLoS ONE, 2018
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), is a key pest of fruit crops in many tropical, subtropical and mild temperate areas worldwide.

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.

Detection of sex chromosomes in Tephritid pests using R‐CQ and KAMY, two computational methods to support generic pest management applications

Insect Science, EarlyView.
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

Insect Science, EarlyView.
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.

Beauveria bassiana strain ATCC 74040 (Naturalis®), a valuable tool for the control of the cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) [PDF]

, 2008
Naturalis® is a bioinsecticide based on living conidiospores of the naturally occuring Beauveria bassiana strain ATCC 74040. The entomopathogenic fungus acts primarily by contact: once attached to the insect’s cuticle, the conidiospores germinate ...

LsFAMeT and LsJHAMT coordinate JH biosynthesis to regulate fecundity in Laodelphax striatellus

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The small brown planthopper (SBPH), Laodelphax striatellus, can trigger large‐scale outbreaks when encountering suitable habitats during migration due to their strong reproductive ability. This study investigated the role of juvenile hormone (JH) in regulating SBPH reproduction.
