“…The synthetic compoundγ-οςταλαςτονε showed a greater capacity to stimulate B. dorsalis ovipositing (Jayanthi et al ., 2017). Eggs and larvae are maintained on an artificial medium composed of sodium benzoate, nipagen, sugar, brewer's yeast, citric acid and water (Tableau 1) (Changet al , 2009;Liu et al , 2015;Anato et al , 2017). After hatching, the larvae feed and develop in the artificial culture medium and reach the final stage (3rd instar) when they are transferred to a plastic tray containing a humidified beach sand sterilized at 72°C for 72 hour, which allows the insects to reach pupation and emerge as adult flies within dedicated cages (Liu et al , 2015;Anatoet al , 2017).…”
