A cDNA subtraction approach to isolate male-specific genes from Ceratitis capitata : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
, 2003 The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceraritis capitata (medfly), is a significant world wide agricultural pest. Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is a biological method that has been used to control medfly successfully in several parts of the world for around two ...

Toxicity of neem (Azadirachta indica) seed cake to larvae of the mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae), and its parasitoid, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). [PDF]
, 2018 The objective of this study was to evaluate the interaction of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead) parasitism and the toxicity of neem seed cake (NSC) on survival of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly). Groups of 1600 -

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Exposure of sterile Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) males to ginger root oil reduces female remating. [PDF]
, 2013 Females of Ceratitis capitata are facultative polyandrous, with remating more common in laboratory strains rather than wild ones. In the application of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against this pest, large overflooding ratios of sterile : wild ...

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Insect Science, EarlyView.Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

DETERMINACIÓN DE UN ÁREA LIBRE DE CERATITIS CAPITATA EN EL CANTÓN MEJÍA, ECUADOR
Ecuador es Calidad, 2015 Ceratitis capitata es una mosca de la fruta de importancia cuarentenaria por las pérdidas económicas que causan; debido a esto, se exige que la producción de frutales se realice en áreas de baja prevalencia o libres de esta plaga.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Suitability as Medfly Ceratitis capitata (Diptera, Tephritidae) hosts, of seven fruit species growing on the island of São Miguel, Azores [PDF]
, 2007 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
