The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), is an important agricultural pest and has developed resistance to many insecticides. 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 PHYTOPHAGOUS insects use chemical cues emanating from plants to orient to their food hosts while plants ward off herbivory again through use of chemicals. Eradication programs were conducted from 1997 to 2001, but failed. Other control and sanitary methods include the removal and destruction of fallen fruits because they may harbour larvae that could form a next generation. Diss. 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. Insecti-cide applications to control fruit flies are done on a calendar basis and are widespread. Abstract. Front. BACKGROUND: The oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) causes serious damage that affects fruit production. This inter-play between chemicals is an interesting area of chemical ecology. 2016). Monitoring Bactrocera dorsalis (BD) Status of BD: Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental Fruit Fly) is a quarantine pest of Asian origin capable of infesting various commercial fruit crops (400 recorded hosts). 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. This leads to poor commercialization in domestic markets and quarantine restrictions from importing countries. Plant Prot. Eradication programs were conducted from 1997 to 2001, but failed. 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. The official status of B.dorsalis for South Africa is: Present in some areas and under official control It can successfully be eradicated when detected early and response is quick in new areas (Manrakhan et.al, 2011) For that permanent surveillance, cooperative role … This species was discovered by Drew and Hancock in 1994. 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. Semiochemical is a generic term used for a chemical substance that influences the behaviour of an organism. 3.2. Bactrocera carambolae are specifically native to Malaysia, southern Thailand and western Indonesia. Bactrocera dorsalis is a frequent invader into California where numerous eradication programs have been conducted. Insects have mastered the art of using semiochemicals as communication signals and rely on them to find mates, host or habitat. 43, Issue. Ecol.

Status of Bactrocera dorsalis: Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental Fruit Fly) is a quarantine pest of Asian origin capable of infesting various commercial fruit crops (400 recorded hosts).It was previously described as the Invader fruit fly (Bactrocera invadens).It is now found in … Bactrocera carambolae, also known as the carambola fruit fly, is a fruit fly species in the family Tephritidae, and is native to Asia. The goal of the present study was to evaluate whether the m … Analysis of coinfestation patterns by B. From 1998 to 2006, B.dorsalis was recovered from 29 different host fruit from the five Society Islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Huahine. ... Chemical Control Due to the variable regulations around (de-)registration of pesticides, we are for the moment not including any specific chemical control recommendations. Bactrocera dorsalis. Identification of Bactrocera invadens Diptera: Tephritidae and classical biological control releases of Fopius arisanus Hymenoptera: Country status report of Bactrocera dorsalis in South Africa. 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. Bactrocera kirki (Froggatt) in 1928, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in 1970, B. dorsalis in 1996, and Bactrocera xanthodes in 1998 (Leblanc and Putoa 2000). It is a common term used in the field of chemical ecology to encompass pheromones, allomones, kairomones, attractants and repellents. In severe cases, losses may reach up to 100% in some fruit crops. 2009; Mwatawala etal.

They may also mediate insecticide resistance within their hosts and thereby impact pest and vector control practices. However, the resistance of B. dorsalis to these compounds has become a serious problem. Applied Entomology and Zoology, Vol. 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). 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. The Chemical ecology of the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis and the potential for novel odor-based management tools. Effect of B. dorsalis infestation on the Vc contents of orange juice.

Genetic variations among and within populations of the Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera; Tephritidae), detected by PCR-RFLP of the mitochondrial control region. 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. Methyl eugenol is 2001. 2006;Cugala2011).Yield lossesdue to fruit fly infestation are reported to be more than 40% with-out control (Ekesi et al. Vc concentration in orange juice differed among treatments (F 3, 11 = 32.053, P < 0.001). It is now found in 65 countries and in most sub-Saharan countries. 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. Thus far, the ecological characteristics of B. dorsalis in this area remain unclear, which has restricted prevention and control efforts. 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). Extraction and identification of volatile components of guava fruits and their attraction to oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was discovered on Tahiti Island in July 1996. 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). From 1998 to 2006, B. dorsalis was recovered from 29 different host fruit from the five Society Islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Huahine. 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.
