Molecular characterization of transformer, transformer‐2, and doublesex genes in the carambola fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, revealing potential for genetic pest management

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Globalization and climate change may be driving the spread of the quarantine fruit fly, Bactrocera carambolae, highlighting the need for ecofriendly control methods like the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which relies on releasing sterile males to reduce wild populations.

Gut bacterial diversity and physiological traits of Anastrepha fraterculus Brazilian-1 morphotype males are affected by antibiotic treatment

BMC Microbiology, 2019
Background The interaction between gut bacterial symbionts and Tephritidae became the focus of several studies that showed that bacteria contributed to the nutritional status and the reproductive potential of its fruit fly hosts.

What Can Integrated Analysis of Morphological and Genetic Data Still Reveal about the Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) Cryptic Species Complex?

Insects, 2019
The South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) is a complex of cryptic species, the so-called “Anastrepha fraterculus complex”, for which eight morphotypes are currently recognized.

Sequence and expression analysis of potential spermatogenesis‐specific gene cognates in the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a highly effective biologically‐based method for the suppression of many insect pest populations. SIT efficacy could be improved by methods of male sterilization that avoid the use of irradiation that can result in diminished fitness and mating competitiveness.

Repellence of the South American Fruit Fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Tephritidae) by Plant Extracts

Revista de Gestão e Secretariado
Fruit production has significant economic importance in Brazil, which is the third largest producer in the world. The fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) is among the insect pests that cause significant damage to fruits cultivated in Brazil. The use of  botanical insecticides, plant extracts, and essential oils has been increasingly

Synthetic biology approaches to generate temperature‐sensitive alleles for the Sterile Insect Technique

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 ...

Mate choice confers direct benefits to females of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae).

PLoS ONE, 2019
Exposure to plant compounds and analogues of juvenile hormone (JH) increase male mating success in several species of tephritid fruit flies. Most of these species exhibit a lek mating system, characterized by active female choice. Although the pattern of
