Mortality of Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Immatures in Coated Fruits

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1994
The fruit coatings Primafresh 31, Sta-Fresh 36OHS, Sta-Fresh 600, and Nature Seal were studied for their ability to kill Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), larvae infesting fruits. Mortality in grapefruits ranged from 33% (Primafresh 31) to 100% (Sta-Fresh 600).

Caribbean fruit fly,Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), attraction to host fruit and host kairomones

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1994
Extracts of 22 fruits were tested for their attractancy toAnastrepha suspensa (Loew), the Caribbean fruit fly. Box-orange, calamondin, carambola, cattley guava, loquat, and Surinam-cherry were about equal in attractiveness to males and females. Nine synthetic chemicals, including four found in box-orange ripe seed, were attractive to females.

CARAMBOLA FRUIT FLY SITUATION IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The carambola fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae Drew and Hancock (CFF) is a member of the oriental fruit fly species complex. CFF was recognized to be present in Suriname in 1986, but it appears to have been present since at least 1975. CFF originated in Asia, where it occurs in Indonesia, Malaysia and southern Thailand.

Candidate Fumigants for Control of Caribbean Fruit Fly, 1983-1984

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1986
Abstract The chemical compounds listed below were tested for effectiveness as fumigants against laboratory-reared, mature fruit fly larvae. Ethylene dibromide was used as the standard for comparison. All compounds were reagent grade (99% pure) or better.

The influence of host fruit morphology on parasitization rates in the Caribbean fruit fly,Anastrepha suspensa

BioControl, 1991
Among the host fruits of the Caribbean fruit fly there are a variety of sizes and shapes. These morphological differences may influence the vulnerability of the larvae to parasites. In the laboratory, Caribbean fruit fly larvae placed in the smaller of 2 different sizes of artificial ‘fruit’ (cloth spheres filled with a diet material) were parasitized ...

Abamectin Bait for Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1996
Abamectin in sugar-yeast hydrolysate bait was tested on colony-reared adult Caribbean fruit flies, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), in the laboratory in a no-choice design. The ECggs irreversible knockdown followed rapidly by. death) for sexually= mature females and males were 12.2 and 19.6 ppm, respectively, at 48 h. Abamectin is a promising alternative to

QUARANTINE TREATMENT RESEARCH AGAINST THE CARIBBEAN FRUIT FLY IN CITRUS FRUITS

1985
This review summarizes recent research findings with approved as well as potential quarantine treatments to replace ethylene dibromide (EOB) fumigation in the eradication of the Caribbean fruit fly (Anastrepha suspense (Locw). Several million boxes of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) are shipped annually from Florida to Japan; EOB fumigation and the ...

Acoustical Properties of the Flight Activities of the Caribbean Fruit Fly

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1976
ABSTRACT The waveforms generated by the flight sounds of the Caribbean fruit fly Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) were recorded and analysed. These analyses included measurements of wingbeat frequency (WBF), sound pressure level (SPL) and harmonic content. The WBF and SPL were similar for both sexes but varied with fly maturity.
