“…This species has been reported as one of the most frequent in mango orchards as observed in the Vale do Rio Gavião Region, BA (SÁ et al, 2012b) and in Piauí (FEITOSA et al, 2008) and in several hosts for the conditions of Roraima (MARSARO JÚNIOR et al, 2011a) and Piauí (ARAÚJO et al, 2014). On the other hand, Silva et al (2011b) obtained three Anastrepha species in myrtle fruits in the state of Bahia, A. fraterculus, A. zenildae and A. sororcula, with no record of A. obliqua.…”

Fruit Flies and Their Parasitoids in the Fruit Growing Region of Livramento De Nossa Senhora, Bahia, With Records of Unprecedented Interactions

et al. 2017

ABSTRACT-Several fruit fly species (Diptera: Tephritidae and Lonchaeidae) assume the status of primary pests in fruit trees grown in Brazil, causing direct production losses. The aims of the study were to know aspects of diversity of fruit flies and their parasitoids in the fruit growing region of Livramento de Nossa Senhora, Bahia. Fruit samples were collected from 19 plant species during November/2011 and June/2014. Infestation rates were calculated in pupae.

“…A maior intensidade de infestação (pupários por fruto) foi encontrada na goiaba, corroborando Silva et al (2011) Por outro lado, a maior intensidade de infestação (pupários por grama de fruto), encontrada na goiaba-serrana (Tabela 1), pode ser devido à disposição das plantas, formando um pomar em meio à propriedade rural e com outras frutíferas próximas, diferente das demais espécies estudadas. KovaleSKi et al (2000) já haviam referido a influência de hospedeiros primários nas infestações encontradas em pomares vizinhos.…”

Variação na infestação de mosca-das-frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae) e parasitismo em diferentes fases de frutificação em mirtaceas nativas no Rio Grande do Sul

Resumo.A mosca-das-frutas sul-americana Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) é uma importante praga da fruticultura no Rio Grande do Sul. Assim como outras espécies tropicais, apresenta sucessão de hospedeiros nativos e exóticos, de acordo com a época de frutificação. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar índices de infestação, intensidade de infestação da mosca-das-frutas e o parasitismo em diferentes fases de frutificação de quatro mirtáceas nativas. Os frutos coletados foram armazenados em condições ambientais até a emergência das moscas ou dos parasitoides. Foram avaliadas a infestação, a intensidade de infestação e o parasitismo entre as espécies frutíferas, entre frutos coletados na copa e no solo e entre os estágios de maturação dos frutos da copa. O maior índice de infestação de mosca-das-frutas ocorreu na goiaba (89,5%) e o menor na goiaba-serrana (67%). A maior intensidade de infestação por fruto foi registrada na goiaba (17,33) e a menor no araçá-vermelho (1,62), a maior média de pupários por grama de fruto foi obtida na goiaba-serrana (0,50) e a menor, na goiaba (0,22). A goiaba-serrana apresentou o maior índice de parasitismo (21,40%) e o araçá-amarelo, o menor (2,81%). Existe maior ocorrência da mosca nas goiabas e goiabas-serranas revelando maior atratividade da praga por estes hospedeiros. A goiaba-serrana demonstrou ser um repositório para espécies de parasitoides nativos.

Variation on Infestation on Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Parasitism in Native Myrtaceae in Rio Grande do SulAbstract. The fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is an important pest of fruit production in Rio Grande do Sul.A. fraterculus presents native and exotic hosts, according to fruiting time. The objective of this study was compare infestation rate, the intensity of infestation of fruit fly and parasitism in four native Myrtaceae. The fruits were stored under ambient conditions until flies or parasitoids emergence. These evaluation were made in fruits collected from the canopy and soil, and between stages of ripening of the canopy. The largest infestation rate of fruit fly occurred in guava (89.5%) and the lowest in feijoa (67%). The intensity of infestation per fruit was highest in guava (17.33) and lowest in red strawberry guava (1.62). The highest rate of puparia per gram of fruit was obtained in the feijoa (0.50) and the lowest in guava (0.22). The highest parasitism rate was in feijoa (21.40%) and the lowest in yellow strawberry guava (2.81%). A greater occurrence of this pest in guava and feijoa revealing highest attractiveness in these hosts. Feijoa is a repository for native parasitodes species.

“…Direct wounds, such as ovipositor wounds and larvae damage to fruit pulp, affect the commercial value for in natura consumption of fruits or their industrial processing (Botton et al, 2016). In South America, A. fraterculus and C. capitata host range overlaps, and the larvae of these two species can be found sharing the same host (Devescovi et al, 2015; Malavasi et al, 1980; Ovruski et al, 2010; Silva et al, 2011). Host marking behaviour and pheromone extraction from faeces have been studied for C. capitata (Arredondo & Díaz‐Fleischer, 2006; Kachigamba et al, 2012; Prokopy et al, 1978), while for A. fraterculus only host marking behaviour has already been documented (Prokopy, Malavasi, et al, 1982).…”

Following oviposition, females of many fruit flies deposit on the fruit surface a host‐marking pheromone (HMP) that can deter oviposition by conspecifics and heterospecifics, thereby minimizing overexploitation of hosts. We describe the oviposition behaviour of two economically important fruit flies (Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata) in agar spheres marked with methanolic and aqueous faeces extracts that contain the HMP. Laboratory bioassays revealed that A. fraterculus mated female produces an HMP that can be extracted from faeces, and causes a significant reduction in fruit infestation by both conspecifics and heterospecifics (cross‐recognition). Furthermore, mated female faeces extract contains higher amounts of methyl (9E)‐hexadecenoate, methyl hexadecanoate, methyl linoleate and methyl (9Z)‐octadecenoate than male faeces extract. Our results provide evidence for the potential use of this ovipositional deterrent in crop protection and pest management programmes for A. fraterculus and C. capitata.
