Candidate Fumigants for Control of Caribbean Fruit Fly, 1979-1980

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1981
Abstract Our principal thrust has been the investigation of naturally occurring compounds found in edible plant parts. Three halogenated compounds were included in these tests for comparison. All chemicals used were reagent grade (99% pure) or better.

Asymmetric Total Synthesis of the Caribbean Fruit Fly Pheromone (+)-Epianastrephin

The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1996
An asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-epianastrephin (1) from the chiral benzamide 2 (15 steps, 9.5% overall yield) is described. Birch reduction−alkylation of 2 with methyl iodide gave 3 in 91% yield as a single diastereomer. Cyclohexadiene 3 was converted to olefinic carboxylic acid 6b, and a tandem iodolactonization−radical reduction sequence ...

Candidate Fumigants for Control of Caribbean Fruit Fly, 1981-1982

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1984
Abstract The chemical compounds listed below were tested for effectiveness as fumigants against mature fruit fly larvae. Ethylene dibromide was used as the standard for comparison. All compounds were reagent grade (99% pure) or better. Fumigation containers were 3.8 liter widemouth glass jars with teflon-lined, screw-cap lids.

Influence of Irradiation on Development of Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Larvae

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1995
Larvae of the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), were irradiated at hatching with 0, 5, 10, 20, 50, 75, 100 and 150 Gy doses from a Cesium-137 source and dissected for measurements of the supraesophageal ganglion (brain) and proventriculus (B/Prv) as mature third instars.

Acoustic courtship signals in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew)

Animal Behaviour, 1984
Abstract Male Caribbean fruit flies, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) produce two sounds in sexual contexts, calling songs and precopulatory songs. Calling song occurs during pheromone release from territories within leks and consists of repeated bursts of sound (pulse trains). Virgin female A.

Biogeography of Braconid Parasitoids of the Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Florida

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2004
Abstract The geographic distribution of three braconid parasitoids of the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), was determined by collecting host fruit throughout central and southern Florida. Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) was most abundant in southern Florida, occurring at higher latitudes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts ...

Thermal Death Kinetics of Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) Embryos

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1993
Eggs of Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspense (Loew), in containers were immersed in controlled temperature baths to determine the susceptibility of 24-h-old embryos (eggs) to heat treatment. Eggs were treated to compare three methods of thermal death estimation for the best prediction for extrapolation to 99.9968% mortality.

Nonhost Status of Lychees and Longans to Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1999
Field trapping of Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) in groves of lychee, Litchi chinensis Sonn., and longan Euphoria longana (Lour.), showed that fly populations were present in high numbers in May and early June, and declined in late June and July. In total, 34,016 fruits of Mauritius and Brewster lychee and Kohala longan were exposed to Caribbean fruit ...

Sexually Dimorphic Developmental Rates in the Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Environmental Entomology, 1990
Female Caribbean fruit flies, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), eclosed before males in field-collected and laboratory-reared samples. This dimorphism is due to more rapid female development during pupal, larval, and perhaps even egg stages. Adult females in the laboratory stock and in the field-collected samples eclosed before male members of the same ...

Screening of Florida mango fruits from germplasm for resistance to immature stages of Caribbean fruit fly

Insect Science and Its Application, 1995
Abstract Mature fruits from 21 mango, Mangifera indica L., cultivare grown in the Miami National Clonal Germplasm Repository were examined for resistance under laboratory conditions to identify those resistant (antibiotic or antixenotic) to the eggs and larvae of the ...
