Information about Bactrocera dorsalis diagnosis, including distribution and treatment advice. The native distribution of Bactrocera carambolae overlaps extensively with that of B. dorsalis, in much of the southern part of its range, and it was introduced into Suriname about 1975 where it has become established. Identification of Bactrocera invadens Diptera: Tephritidae and classical biological control releases of Fopius arisanus Hymenoptera: Country status report of Bactrocera dorsalis in South Africa. Diss. The oriental fruit fly (OFF), Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is a major pest of fruits in Thailand causing annual losses to the fruit industry esti-mated in millions of dollars as a result of significant yield reduction and market restrictions. Other control and sanitary methods include the removal and destruction of fallen fruits because they may harbour larvae that could form a next generation.

Insecti-cide applications to control fruit flies are done on a calendar basis and are widespread. Insects have mastered the art of using semiochemicals as communication signals and rely on them to find mates, host or habitat.

Bactrocera dorsalis Early Embryos Wei Peng 1,2, Shuning Yu 1, ... are currently considered to be the most e ective tool to control fruit flies; however, resistance to commonly applied chemical insecticides in B. dorsalis has been increasing [3,4], and it is, thus, urgent To investigate vital genes participating in metamorphosis for development of additional control strategies, a comprehensive transcriptome analysis covering ten developmental stages of B. dorsalis was performed. Thus far, the ecological characteristics of B. dorsalis in this area remain unclear, which has restricted prevention and control efforts. They may also mediate insecticide resistance within their hosts and thereby impact pest and vector control practices. Bactrocera dorsalis is part of a larger species complex and PCR analysis indicated that, indeed, piggyBac exists throughout the complex having nucleotide sequence identities of 92% among all the elements sequenced, with individual identities of 96–99% to one another and the T. ni 3E1 piggyBac (Handler, unpublished data). 2.2.3 Control using male lures 18 2.2.4 Control using Protein baits 19 2.3 Invasion and competitive displacement 19 2.4 Biology and ecology of Tephritidae 20 2.5 Gaps in Chemical ecology of Tephritidae 21 3 Objectives 24 4 Methods 25 4.1 Experimental insects 25 4.1.1 Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) 25 4.1.2 Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) 25 ...

From 1998 to 2006, B. dorsalis was recovered from 29 different host fruit from the five Society Islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Huahine. The aim of this paper is to highlight the research findings on B. dorsalis in India, based on work carried out at IIHR, ... chemical (Jang & Light 1996). 2009; Mwatawala etal. BACKGROUND: The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) causes serious damage that affects fruit production. It is a common term used in the field of chemical ecology to encompass pheromones, allomones, kairomones, attractants and repellents. Chemical Ecology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution Received:10 October 2019 Accepted:26 February 2020 Published:18 March 2020 Citation: Liu Z, Liang X-F, Xu L, Keesey IW, Lei Z-R, Smagghe G and Wang J-J (2020) An Antennae-Specific Odorant-Binding Protein Is Involved in Bactrocera dorsalis Olfaction. PHYTOPHAGOUS insects use chemical cues emanating from plants to orient to their food hosts while plants ward off herbivory again through use of chemicals. The Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is among the most destructive fruit/vegetable-eating agricultural pests in the world, particularly in Asian countries such as China. The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is an important agricultural pest and has developed resistance to many insecticides. Eradication programs were conducted from 1997 to 2001, but failed. The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the major insect pests which renders the fruit to become unfit for human consumption. Bactrocera kirki (Froggatt) in 1928, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in 1970, B. dorsalis in 1996, and Bactrocera xanthodes in 1998 (Leblanc and Putoa 2000). Semiochemical is a generic term used for a chemical substance that influences the behaviour of an organism. Bactrocera dorsalis. Bactrocera invadens was first found in Kenya in 2003 (Lux et al., 2003) and somewhat later reported from Tanzania (Mwatawala et al., 2004). This species was discovered by Drew and Hancock in 1994. Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was discovered on Tahiti Island in July 1996. Genetic variations among and within populations of the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera; Tephritidae), detected by PCR-RFLP of the mitochondrial control region. ABSTRACT: Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) has invaded Jiangxi, a subtropical area of China and poses a serious threat to its host crops, especially citrus fruits. Although initially thought to be a variant form of Bactrocera dorsalis, it was recognized as a distinct species (Drew et al., 2005). This inter-play between chemicals is an interesting area of chemical ecology. 3, p. 457. It is now found in 65 countries and in most sub-Saharan countries. Two tephritid species namely the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel and the guava fruit fly Bactrocera correcta Bezzi are considered to be the key insect pests of fruit production in Thailand, causing yield loss and quality degradation. From 1998 to 2006, B.dorsalis was recovered from 29 different host fruit from the five Society Islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Huahine. Bactrocera carambolae are specifically native to Malaysia, southern Thailand and western Indonesia. Chemical insecticides have been widely used for the prevention and control of this destructive pest. Methyl eugenol is Effect of B. dorsalis infestation on the Vc contents of orange juice.

Chemical Composition and Behavioural Responses of Male and Female Bactrocera dorsalis to their Volatile Emissions Bactrocera dorsalis, (Tephritidae) presented a grave threat to a broad range of fruit and vegetables in the tropics, including Tanzania. Basil oil, extracted fruit flies including Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel is the most important factor hampering the production of the crop in Africa in general and Mozambique in particular (Ekesi et al. When methyl eugenol (B. dorsalis male attractant) was mixed with basil oil, ... fore, it can be used as an alternative to chemical pest control (Olson and Bidlack 1997).

This leads to poor commercialization in domestic markets and quarantine restrictions from importing countries. Ecol. Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was discovered on Tahiti Island in July 1996. The goal of the present study was to evaluate whether the m … The sterile insect technique may be implemented to control populations of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), when environmental concerns preclude widespread use of chemical attractants or toxicants. 44:279-302. In severe cases, losses may reach up to 100% in some fruit crops. Front. Bactrocera dorsalis is a frequent invader into California where numerous eradication programs have been conducted. 2006;Cugala2011).Yield lossesdue to fruit fly infestation are reported to be more than 40% with-out control (Ekesi et al. However, the resistance of B. dorsalis to these compounds has become a serious problem. Bactrocera dorsalis is a member of the Oriental fruit fly (B. dorsalis) species complex.This species complex forms a group within the subgenus Bactrocera and the name may therefore be cited as Bactrocera (Bactrocera) dorsalis.B. The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the most important economic pests in tropical and subtropical areas of the world, where it causes serious damage to fruit production. In that description, its native range was indicated as Sri Lanka. 43, Issue. 2001.
