Gut microbial communities are critical in determining the evolutive success of fruit fly
phytophagous pests (Diptera, Tephritidae), facilitating their adaptation to suboptimal …

Fruit flies are key pests of vegetable crops, particularly cucurbits. Depending on the fruit fly
species, the parapheromone, cue-lure (CL) or methyl eugenol (ME) is used in traps for …

The performance of entomopathogenic fungi in pest control is usually affected by both biotic
and abiotic factors. This study aimed to determine the effects of various temperatures (15 …

Tephritid fruit flies are major economic pests for fruit production and are an impediment to
trade. Different host fruits are known to vary in their capacity or suitability for fruit flies to …

In phytophagous insects, the larval host plant may have a profound effect on the biology of
the adult stage. This influence has been most widely studied in females, where larval diet …

Detecting the host preference of highly polyphagous and economically significant pest
species of fruit flies (Diptera; Tephritidae) is important for identifying their species status …

The greater pumpkin fly Dacus bivittatus (Bigot) is a fruit fly indigenous to Africa, which
causes extensive damage to Cucurbitaceae. To control this pest, farmers rely on synthetic …

The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficaciousness dosage of aqueous extracts of
neem (Azadirachta indica Juss) and aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) at different …

Aim: To identify the effective concentration of Cue-lure (CL) for efficacious management of
melon fruit fly (Zeugodacus cucurbitae), associated with the cucurbits. Methodology …
