Mechanisms of resistance to malathion in the medfly Ceratitis capitata
Target site insensitivity and metabolic resistance mediated by esterases have been previously suggested to be involved in resistance to malathion in a field-derived strain (W) of Ceratitis capitata. In the present study, we have obtained the coding sequence for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene (Ccace) of C. capitata.

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

Mate choice and gene expression signatures associated with nutritional adaptation in the medfly (Ceratitis capitata) [PDF]
Evolutionary responses to nutrition are key to understanding host shifts and the resulting potential for reproductive isolation. Experimental evolution has previously been used to describe the responses of the medfly (Ceratitis capitata) to larval diets ...

Suitability as Medfly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera, Tephritidae) hosts, of seven fruit species growing on the island of São Miguel, Azores [PDF]
Seven species of fruit were selected to study their suitability as hosts to Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). Suitability was determined by evaluating field infestation rates of different host-fruit and by studying the performance of C. capitata reared on
