Evaluation of predicted Medfly ( Ceratitis capitata) quarantine length in the United States utilizing degree-day and agent-based models
Invasions by pest insects pose a significant threat to agriculture worldwide. In the case of Ceratitis capitata incursions on the US mainland, where it is not officially established, repeated detections are followed by quarantines and treatments to eliminate the invading population. However, it is difficult to accurately set quarantine duration because non-detection may not mean the pest is eli...

متن کاملBacteria–diet interactions affect longevity in the medfly – Ceratitis capitata
Symbiosis in fruit flies (Dipt.: Tephritidae), despite its long history of study, is still a relatively poorly understood aspect of the life history of these insect pests (reviewed by Drew and Lloyd 1991; Lauzon 2003). Many tephritid species are uniquely adapted for housing large quantities of bacteria in their digestive tract (the oesophageal bulb in adults and gastric caeca in larvae) and som...
متن کاملAdaptation to divergent larval diets in the medfly, Ceratitis capitata
Variation in diet can influence the timing of major life-history events and can drive population diversification and ultimately speciation. Proximate responses of life histories to diet have been well studied. However, there are scant experimental data on how organisms adapt to divergent diets over the longer term. We focused on this omission by testing the responses of a global pest, the Medit...
متن کاملA second superoxide dismutase gene in the medfly, Ceratitis capitata.
We report the first case of two Cu/Zn Sod genes (ccSod1 and ccSod2) that have been cloned and sequenced from an insect, the medfly, Ceratitis capitata. Biochemical evidence suggested the presence of two Sod genes in the medfly. The two genes are isolated using different molecular strategies: ccSod1 via cross-hybridization to a genomic library using a heterologous probe and ccSod2 from cDNA usin...
