“…Parasitism by exotic parasitoids in Hawaii (Silvestri, 1914 ;Clausen et al, 1965 ;Willard & Mason, 1937) shows similarities to the information presented here for native areas. Medfly in Hawaii is consistently parasitized most heavily in coffee.…”

“…Medfly in Hawaii is consistently parasitized most heavily in coffee. Parasitization by the imported Opius humilis Silvestri and Biosteres tryoni (Cameron) ranged from 46 % to 94 % over the 20-year period after their introduction (Willard & Mason, 1937). Coffee in Cameroon was also the most profitable source of fruit fly parasitoids, since parasitization ranged as high as 56 %.…”

“…However, we note too that apple (M. pumila) cultivars ÔGalaÕ, ÔFujiÕ, and Golden Deli-ciousÕ are heavily infested by A. fraterculus in Cac ¸ador, Santa Catarina, Brazil (Sugayama et al 1997). In the case of P. americana, C. capitata has been reported infesting cultivars such as ÔChabilÕ, ÔItzamna ´Õ, ÔKashlanÕ, ÔMacDonaldÕ in Guatemala (Willard et al 1929), and ÔSharwilÕ in Hawaii (Oi and Mau 1989). Natural (orchard) infestation levels in Guatemala were extremely low (e.g., one fruit out of 66 and two fruit out of 180 in ÔChabilÕ and ÔItzamna ´Õ cultivars, respectively) (Willard et al 1929).…”

Reports from Hawaii stem from caged fruit hanging naturally from branches that were artiÞcially exposed to gravid C. capitata females (1 fruit/35 females).…”

Wild or commercially grown, native and exotic fruit were collected in 30 localities in the Tucumán province (NW Argentina) from January 1990 to December 1995 to determine their status as hosts of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) and/or Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the only two fruit fly species of economic and quarantine importance in Argentina. A total of 84,094 fruit (3,466.1 kg) representing 33 species (7 native and 26 exotic) in 15 plant families were sampled. We determined the following 17 host plant associations: Annona cherimola Miller (Annonaceae), Citrus paradisi Macfadyn (Rutaceae), Diospyros kaki L. (Ebenaceae), Eugenia uniflora L., Psidium guajava L., Myrcianthes pungens (Berg) Legrand (Myrtaceae), Ficus carica L. (Moraceae), Juglans australis Grisebach (Juglandaceae), Mangifera indica L. (Anacardiaceae), Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl., Prunus armeniaca L., P. domestica L., and P. persica (L.) Batsch (Rosaceae) were infested by both A. fraterculus and C. capitata. Citrus aurantium L., Citrus reticulata Blanco, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Rutaceae), and Passiflora caerulea L. (Passifloraceae) were only infested by Ceratitis capitata. Out of a total of 99,627 adults that emerged from pupae, 69,180 (approximately 69.5%) were Anastrepha fraterculus, 30,138 (approximately 30.2%) were C. capitata, and 309 (approximately 0.3%) were an unidentified Anastrepha species. Anastrepha fraterculus predominated in native plant species while C. capitata did so in introduced species. Infestation rates (number of larvae/kg of fruit) varied sharply from year to year and between host plant species (overall there was a significant negative correlation between fruit size and infestation level). We provide information on fruiting phenology of all the reported hosts and discuss our findings in light of their practical (e.g., management of A. fraterculus and C. capitata in citrus groves) implications.
