Ceratitis capitata (Mediterranean fruit fly).

PlantwisePlus Knowledge Bank, 2022
C. capitata is a highly invasive species. It has a high dispersive ability, a very large host range and a tolerance of both natural and cultivated habitats over a comparatively wide temperature range.

Heterosis in Ceratitis capitata

, 2020
Genetic improvement through heterosis has been little exploited in beneficial insects. Heterosis could contribute to increased competitiveness of lab strains in the field with a consequent savings in rearing costs. Heterosis has been quantified for many insects, such as the flour moth where significant F1 and F2 values were observed and applied at a ...

Effectiveness of Entomopathogenic Nematodes Against Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) Pupae and Nematode Compatibility with Chemical Insecticides.

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021
The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is among the main pests of fruit crops worldwide. Biological control using entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) may be an alternative to suppress populations of this ...

Oviposition deterrent effect of linalool - a compound of citrus essential oils - on female Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Pest Management Science, 2020
BACKGROUND Linalool is a natural scent, found in essential oils (EOs) of several plants. It is widely used as a fragrant, also possessing toxic, oviposition deterrent, and repellent properties against many insect species.

Mechanical ecology of fruit-insect interaction in the adult Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Zoology, 2020
Fruit features represent a trade-off between dispersal and protection against frugivore insects. To prevent insect attack, plants evolved chemical and physical barriers, mainly studied in leaves, while limited knowledge is available for fruits ...

Agroecological effect and sexual shape dimorphism in medfly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) an example in Croatian populations

, 2020
The Mediterranean fruit fly or medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) is one of the most economically important fruit flies globally. Geometric morphometric methods based on principal component analyses, multivariate regressions and two blocks ...

Resistance to Malathion in Field Populations of Ceratitis capitata

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2007
The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is considered one of the most economically damaging pests of citrus orchards in Spain. Insecticide treatments for the control of this pest are mainly based on aerial and ground treatments with malathion bait sprays.

Mechanisms of resistance to malathion in the medfly Ceratitis capitata

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008
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.
