Wolbachia Infection of Neoceratitis asiatica (Diptera: Tephritidae) [PDF]
Florida Entomologist, 2019 Neoceratitis asiatica (Becker) (Diptera: Tephritidae), known as wolfberry fruit fly, is a harmful pest of Lycium barbarum (Solanaceae). Neoceratitis asiatica female adults insert the ovipositor into the peel of L. barbarum and lay eggs, causing reductions in yield and economic loss. The symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia spp .

Factors affecting detection and trapping efficacy of Mediterranean fruit flies
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3548-3556, July 2025.Trapping efficacy for medfly and other fruit flies depends on environmental factors, with ambient conditions having the strongest effect. Cold acclimation can skew population estimates, making careful data interpretation essential for accurate population assessments and early detection of invasive pests.
