“…These results are in accordance with Shehata et al (2006), whose anatomical and biometrical study determined a dose of 60-90 Gy having the most deleterious effect on male gonads of B. zonata. Results comparable to ours were presented for Bactrocera philippinensis Drew and Hancock with the most effective irradiation range 67-74 Gy (Resilva et al 2007), Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (90-100 Gy) (Allinghi et al 2007), or Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), and B. zonata (70-90 Gy) (Huque, Ahmad 1966). In other studies, however, a dose to induce total sterility of fruit fly males was a little lower ranging from 40-60 Gy, for example 40 Gy was recorded for B. cucurbitae (Nahar et al 2006), 50 Gy for Anastrepha suspense Loew (Walder, Calkins 1993) and B. zonata (Draz et al 2008), or 60 Gy for Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) (Toledo 1993).…”

“…Reductions in flight ability of fruit flies due to irradiation were noted by a large number of researchers (e.g. Nakamori, Soemori 1981;Smith et al 1981;Resilva et al 2007). The data presented in this study are in accordance with observations of others and confirm the negative effect of irradiation on flying capability at greater tube heights (≥ 15 cm) and greater doses (≥ 50 Gy).…”

Mahmoud M.F., Barta M., 2011. Effect of gamma radiation on the male sterility and other quality parameters of peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Hort. Sci. (Prague), 38: 54-62.Bactrocera zonata, a serious pest of fruits in many parts of the world, has recently been recorded in Northern Africa. Even though it has not been introduced to the European continent yet, a strong emphasis is being placed on developing effective measures to suppress this pest and to prevent it from establishing in neighbouring European countries. The sterile insect technique is widely used in integrated programmes against tephritid fruit flies and, in this paper, quality parameters of irradiated B. zonata were evaluated for possible use of sterile insect technique within the management of this pest. Pupae were irradiated ( 60 Co) 48 h before adult emergence (in an air atmosphere) with doses of 10, 30, 50, 70 or 90 Gy. While adult emergence and egg hatch decreased with increasing dose, no significant differences in female fecundity were found among doses. Exposure of pupae to 90 Gy resulted in a total sterility of eggs laid by non-treated females crossed with treated males. Only insignificant difference in the radiation effect on female fecundity was found. Moderate effects on sex ratio and size were recorded, as they decreased gradually by increasing doses. No considerable effect on flying capability was observed, but generally, the percentage of fliers decreased with increasing radiation doses. Fried's competitiveness values of treated males (30 and 70 Gy) suggest that irradiated males compete successfully with non-irradiated ones.

“…FAO/IAEA/USDA (1999) recommended 2.0-2.5 g of Dayglo ® dye per litre of pupae, and subsequently FAO/IAEA/USDA (2003) recommended 1.5 g of dye per litre of pupae. The Bactrocera philippinensis Drew and Hancock program in the Philippines used 1.5 g/L of fluorescent dye per litre of pupae (Resilva et al 2007). Midgarden et al (2004) used 4 g/L of Dayglo fluorescent dye on Medfly.…”

Sterile Queensland fruit flies Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are commonly marked with fluorescent dye to assist with subsequent identification after release and recapture. The impact of dye on adult eclosion and flight ability was tested using eight concentrations of dye (Swada, Fiesta Astral Pink) from 0 to 4.5 g/L of pupae. There was no significant difference in eclosion rates between undyed pupae (control) and pupae dyed at a concentration of 1.0 g/L. For dye concentrations of 1.5-4.5 g/L, adult eclosion rates declined from 85.7% to 77.4% and were significantly different from the control. Flight ability indices ranged from 92.1% to 83.3%. There was no significant difference in flight ability between control pupae and those dyed at 1.0 g/L and 3.5 g/L pupae, but other pupae from other dye concentrations were significantly different from the control. Pupal weight ranged from 8.3 to 10.2 mg and there was no significant relationship between pupal weight and adult eclosion or flight ability.

“…Thus, it is very practical and economical to use corn, sugarcane bagasse or rice straw diet as a substitute for the standard sweet potato-rice bran diet. Powdered corn and rice straw can be used as replacements for sweet potato because they pass the minimum specification for routine quality control set for B. philippinensis (Resilva et al, 2007). However, as of 2006, sugarcane bagasse is being used as the bulking agent in our artificial larval diet in the mass-rearing facility.…”

In this study, new methods to improve the mass production of the Philippines fruit fly Bactrocera philippinensis Drew & Hancock were assessed. A new adult screen cage equipped with perforated egging tubes was designed. The replacement of sweet potato with sugarcane bagasse, rice straw or powdered corn as an alternative bulking agent in the standard artificial larval diet was found to lead to positive results in large-scale rearing. Rearing protocols and product quality control procedures for egg incubation, sieving of pupae and pupal holding were examined. The adoption of these new rearing procedures at low cost was found to increase the production of the Philippines fruit fly in a massrearing facility without reducing the fitness of the insect.
