Defining the parameters of comet assay for reliably detecting DNA damage as a marker of X‐ray based irradiation in insects treated with non‐lethal doses for export fruit sanitation

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Houseflies, clover root weevils, and mangoes were used to demonstrate the comet assay's adaptability. Our findings indicate that the comet assay can reliably detect irradiation‐induced DNA damage in both insects and fruit. However, the assay parameters require careful adjustment to account for differences in insect tissue types and life stages ...

Influence of low doses of gamma irradiation on cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Phytosanitary irradiation for food commodities has been widely accepted in recent years. Gamma irradiation has been used as a phytosanitary treatment against microbial diseases, insect infestation and food spoilage.

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 ...

Large scale artificial rearing of Anastrepha sp.1 aff. fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Brazil

Scientia Agricola, 2014
Some species of the genus Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) are successfully managed by matching the sterile insect technique with parasitoid releases. Such strategies used in integrated pest management can be implemented only where insect mass-rearing ...

Sensitivity analysis of trap-models for insects [PDF]

, 2014
In order to control a wild insect population with SIT (Sterile Insect Technique), it is necessary to estimate this population. This can be done with experimental data (using traps), combined with appropriate dispersal models, like those studied in [1, 2].

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

Experimental hybridization and reproductive isolation between two sympatric species of tephritid fruit flies in the Anastrepha fraterculus species group [PDF]

, 2017
Among tephritid fruit flies, hybridzation has been found to produce local adaptationand speciation, and in the case of pest species, induce behavioral and ecological alterations that can adversely impact efficient pest management. The fraterculus species

Steaming soil is effective in eliminating invasive alien plants (IAPs) – part I: effect of exposure method

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2032-2039, April 2025.
As regulations on chemical pesticides become more stringent, it is likely that there will be interest in water steam as an alternative approach for soil disinfestation. This study investigated the feasibility of utilizing a soil steaming device for thermal control of selected invasive alien plants and showed a promising mortality rate for their ...

How endo- is endo-?: surface sterilization of delicate samples: a Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) case study [PDF]

, 2010
In the search for endosymbiotic bacteria, elimination of ectosymbionts is a key point of attention. Commonly, the surface of the host itself or the symbiotic structures are sterilized with aggressive substances such as chlorine or mercury derivatives ...
