Larger olive fruit size reduces the efficiency of Psyttalia concolor, as a parasitoid of the olive fruit fly

Biological Control, 2009
The larval parasitoid, Psyttalia concolor (Szepligeti), has been released for biological control of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), in California. The effect of olive (Olea europaea L.) fruit size on parasitism efficiency was quantified within one cultivar (Sevillano) and across four different sized cultivars (in order of decreasing size:

Olive Fruit Fly: Managing an Ancient Pest in Modern Times

Annual Review of Entomology, 2010
Olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the major pest of commercial olives worldwide. Various aspects of its biology, ecology, management, and impact on olive production are highlighted. With the discovery of insecticidal resistance in some populations frequently treated with organophosphates, old and new control options ...

A Metabarcoding Survey on the Fungal Microbiota Associated to the Olive Fruit Fly

Microbial Ecology, 2016
The occurrence of interaction between insects and fungi is interesting from an ecological point of view, particularly when these interactions involve insect pests and plant pathogens within an agroecosystem. In this study, we aimed to perform an accurate analysis on the fungal microbiota associated to Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) through a metabarcoding ...

A Machine Learning Approach For The Identification Of Olive Fruit Fly in Greece

SouthEast European Design Automation, Computer Engineering, Computer Networks and Social Media Conference
Contemporary agriculture faces critical challenges to maintain a future that meets global food demand. Precise and early detection of plantations’ pest and disease threats is crucial for controlling their spread, maintaining production quality and volume,

Simulation of fruit fly population dynamics, with particular reference to the olive fruit fly, Dacus oleae

Ecological Modelling, 1988
Abstract The fruit flies Dacus oleae and Dacus tryoni have ecological behav number of multivoltine tephritids. In particular, their dynamics appear to be largely controlled by climatic factors and by host availability, rather than by predators and parasites.

Biogenesis of sex pheromones in the female olive fruit-fly

Chemical Communications, 1998
A likely pathway to the sex pheromones of Bactrocera oleae (olive fruit-fly) is presented, based mainly on feeding experiments with deuterium labelled precursors.

The biology of Bracon celer as a parasitoid of the olive fruit fly

BioControl, 2006
A series of laboratory experiments was conducted on a colony of Bracon celer Szepligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) reared on the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Female B. celer preferentially probe and oviposit into olives containing late third-instar fly larvae. The parasitoid develops as a solitary, ectoparasitic idiobiont.

The distribution of olive fruit fly captures with McPhail traps within an olive orchard

Phytoparasitica, 2003
The spatial distribution of olive fruit flyBactrocera (Dacus) oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae) field captures with McPhail traps within an experimental orchard was evaluated. Contour maps were constructed to examine the patterns in the 3-year trapping data.

Improving olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) adult and larval artificial diets, microflora associated with the fly and evaluation of a transgenic olive fruit fly strain

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2014
Research on the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) - rearing simplification, insect microflora and transgenic strain evaluation - yielded several findings: (1) incorporation of antibiotics in the adult diet is evidently not needed; (2) colonization appears to be easier when wild adults are collected from the field instead of using mature larvae ...

Molecular characterization of pyrethroid resistance in the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae

Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, 2018
Α reduction of pyrethroid efficacy has been recently recorded in Bactrocera oleae, the most destructive insect of olives. The resistance levels of field populations collected from Crete-Greece scaled up to 22-folds, compared to reference laboratory strains.
