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 .

First report of the complete mitochondrial genome of Carpomya pardalina (Bigot) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and phylogenetic relationships with other Tephritidae. [PDF]

Heliyon
Carpomya pardalina is known for its potential invasiveness, which poses a significant and alarming threat to Cucurbitaceae crops. It is considered a highly perilous pest species that requires immediate attention for quarantine and prevention. Due to the challenges in distinguishing pests of the Tephritidae family based on morphological characteristics,

Symbiotic bacteria participate in pectinolytic metabolism to enhance larval growth in Zeugodacus cucurbitae

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The larval food consumption, growth, and pectinase activity without symbiotic bacteria are suppressed in Zeugodacus cucurbitae. We isolated four strains of Klebsiella spp. that can participate in pectinolytic metabolism from feeding wounds. Reintroducing them to sterile eggs breaks the developmental constraints caused by the lack of symbiotic bacteria.

A New Species of Terellia (Diptera, Tephritidae) from Morocco

Zoodiversity, 2021
Terellia ptilostemi sp. n., a previously unknown peculiar species of the genus Terellia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 is described based on the holotype and a large series of paratypes reared from Ptilostemon rhiphaeus (Pau & Font Quer) Greuter (Asteraceae, Cardueae) in Tetouan and Chefchaouen Provinces of Western Morocco. The new species has the phallus

Ecological population dynamics, host preferences, and associated parasitoids of Bactrocera carambolae and Bactrocera papayae on fruits [PDF]

Global Journal of Environmental Science and Management
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Fruit flies are a significant pest affecting fruit production in Indonesia. Understanding the species of fruit flies in fruit-growing regions is crucial for evaluating pest risk, establishing effective plant quarantine measures,

Influence of overflooding ratios on fruit damage and population growth of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick): implications for the sterile insect technique program

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Number of infested fruits, larval entries and F1 adults decreased as sterile males increased. Control cages had higher fecundity and fertility compared to treatment cages. Release ratios, 40:1 and 60:1 can enhance the efficacy of SIT. Abstract BACKGROUND Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a significant pest of citrus in ...

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 ...
