Analysis of the gut bacterial community of wild larvae of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1: effect of host fruit, environment, and prominent stable associations of the genera Wolbachia, Tatumella, and Enterobacter
(Frontiers Media, 2022-03)The genus Anastrepha (Diptera Tephritidae) includes some of the most important fruit fly pests in the Americas. Here, we studied the gut bacterial community of 3rd instar larvae of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 through Next ... -
Dynamics of genetic variability in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) during adaptation to laboratory rearing conditions
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Anastrepha fraterculus is one of the most important fruit fly plagues in the American continent and only chemical control is applied in the field to diminish its population densities. A better understanding ... -
Gut bacteriome analysis of Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 during the early steps of laboratory colonization
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10)Microbial communities associated to insect species are involved in essential biological functions such as host nutrition, reproduction and survivability. Main factors have been described as modulators of gut bacterial ... -
Plant chemicals and the sexual behavior of male tephritid fruit flies
(Oxford University Press, 2018-09)Plant compounds affect insects in many different ways. In addition to being a food source, plants also contain secondary metabolites that may have positive and negative impacts on insects. The influence of these compounds ... -
Precocious sexual signalling and mating in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) sterile males achieved through juvenile hormone treatment and protein supplements
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02)Sexual maturation of Anastrepha fraterculus is a long process. Methoprene (a mimic of juvenile hormone) considerably reduces the time for sexual maturation in males. However, in other Anastrepha species, this effect depends ... -
Remating behavior in Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) females is affected by male juvenile hormone analog treatment but not by male sterilization
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-06)The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been proposed as an area-wide method to control the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann). This technique requires sterilization, a procedure that affects, along ...
