“…The percentage of emergence found in this study was similar to that found by other authors that investigated the nutritional aspects of diets offered to A. obliqua larvae (ZUCOLOTO et al, 1979;MESSAGE & ZUCOLOTO, 1980;MORENO et al, 1997;SALDANHA & SILVA, 1999), in spite of the different proportions and/or combinations of nutrients which were used.…”

ABSTRACT. Fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha Schiner, 1868 are well-known for having economical importance since they damage commercially cultivated fruits. Nutritional demands during the immature and adult stages are different, so the larvae do not develop well using the same diet as the adults. Although the insect basic nutritional needs are well-known, there is also the challenge to elaborate rearing diets adequate to species with specific needs. The aim of this study was to determine the effect on the Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835) larvae performance of different kinds and amounts of carbohydrates in the diet. Larvae were individually reared until pupation in test tubes containing one of the artificial diets to be tested. The basic composition of the diets to be tested included 2.5 g agar, 3.25 g brewer's yeast and several different amounts of flour and sucrose. The suitability of the artificial diet for A. obliqua was tested evaluating the larvae and pupae survival (%) and the larvae, pupae and larvae-adults periods of development. The diet containing flour (2 g) and sucrose (2 g) and the diet containing only sucrose (5.5 g) have shown the best results regarding larval performance. All tested diets presented similar or superior results as compared to diets used in other studies. The importance of flour and its nutritional value for the larvae was discussed.KEYWORDS. Fruit-flies, larvae, nutrition, artificial diets. RESUMO. Desempenho das larvas deAnastrepha obliqua (Diptera, Tephritidae) alimentadas com dietas artificiais. Moscas das frutas do gênero Anastrepha Schiner, 1868 são conhecidas por sua importância econômica devido aos danos que elas causam nos frutos comerciais. As exigências nutricionais dos estágios imaturo e adulto são diferentes e as larvas não se desenvolvem bem utilizando a mesma dieta do adulto. Embora as necessidades nutricionais básicas dos insetos sejam bem conhecidas, existe ainda o problema de elaborar dietas de criação adequadas para espécies com necessidades específicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o efeito de diferentes tipos e quantidades de carboidratos na dieta sobre a performance larval de Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835). Larvas foram criadas individualmente em tubos de ensaio contendo uma das dietas artificiais a serem testadas onde elas foram mantidas até a pupação. A composição básica das dietas testadas incluia 2,5 g de agar, 3,25 g de levedo de cerveja e quantidades variadas de sacarose e farinha de trigo. A adequação do meio artificial para A. obliqua foi testada pela avaliação da sobrevivência larval e pupal (%) e o tempo de desenvolvimento larval, pupal e de larva-adulto. A dieta contendo farinha de trigo (2 g) e sacarose (2 g) e a dieta somente com sacarose (5,5 g) foram as que apresentaram melhor performance larval. Todas as dietas testadas apresentaram resultados similares ou superiores às dietas utilizadas em outros trabalhos. A importância da presença da farinha de trigo e seu valor nutricional para as larvas são discutidos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE.Mo...

“…While enhanced pupal development was observed at a temperature of 30°C, adults had low sexual efficiency, as well as a lower proportion of calls and matings (Telles‐Romero et al ., ). Numerous studies of raisings of A. obliqua population were completed within the temperature range of 20–30°C (Saldanha & Silva, ; Artiaga‐Lopez et al ., ; Cresoni‐Pereira & Zucoloto, ). In this research, DV1 and DV2 were set at 20 and 30°C, respectively.…”

“…Experimental data is available from one study under controlled conditions. At 26 ± 1°C, 38% of the larvae could complete development, with 43.3 days to finish the average life cycle (eggs, 4 days; larvae, 26.3 days; pupae, 13 days) (Saldanha & Silva, ). Additional data is available from an insect rearing study where 3 days’ incubation is required for eggs to hatch at 27 ± 1°C, 8 days for larval maturation at 25 ± 1°C and 80% relative humidity (RH), 24 h for pupation at 23 ± 1°C and 70% RH, and 13 days at 26 ± 1°C and 80% RH for adult maturation (Artiaga‐Lopez et al ., ).…”

The current and future potential geographic range of West Indian fruit fly, Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae)

The West Indian fruit fly, Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart), is one of the most important pests throughout the Americas. CLIMEX 3.0 and ArcGIS 9.3 were used to model the current and future potential geographical distribution of this pest. Under current climatic conditions, A. obliqua is predicted to be able to establish throughout much of the tropics and subtropics, including not only North and South America, where it has been reported, but also southern Asia, northeastern Australia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The main factors limiting the pest's range expansion may be cold stress. Climate change expands the potential distribution of A. obliqua poleward as cold stress boundaries recede, but the predicted distribution in northwestern Australia and northern parts of Sub-Saharan Africa will decrease because of heat stress. Considering the widely suitable range for A. obliqua globally and in China, enhanced quarantine and monitoring measures should be implemented in areas that are projected to be suitable for the establishment of the pest under current and future climatic conditions.
