Bacterial Symbionts in Ceratitis capitata. [PDF]

Insects, 2022
Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) is responsible for extensive damage in agriculture with important economic losses. Several strategies have been proposed to control this insect pest including insecticides and the Sterile Insect Technique. Traditional control methods should be implemented by innovative tools, among which those based on insect ...

Evolutionary Conservation of Ceratitis capitata transformer Gene Function [PDF]

Genetics, 2005
Abstract Transformer functions as a binary switch gene in the sex determination and sexual differentiation of Drosophila melanogaster and Ceratitis capitata, two insect species that separated nearly 100 million years ago. The TRA protein is required for female differentiation of XX individuals, while XY individuals express smaller ...
