Decoding the reproductive system of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
(2021)In most diploid organisms, mating is a prerequisite for reproduction and, thus, critical to the maintenance of their population and the perpetuation of the species. Besides the importance of understanding the fundamentals ... -
Effect of the combined application of microencapsulated synthetic oviposition pheromone (MSP) with different larvicidal agents on the oviposition of Culex pipiens biotype molestus
(2018)BACKGROUND: Attract-and-kill strategies, in which a behavior-modifying stimulus (e.g. a pheromone) is integrated with a pest control agent, have lately attracted increased interest for mosquito control. Previously, it was ... -
Knocking down the sex peptide receptor by dsRNA feeding results in reduced oviposition rate in olive fruit flies
(2020)Insect pests can cause crop damage in yield or quality, resulting in profit losses for farmers. The primary approach to control them is still the use of chemical pesticides resulting in significant hazards to the environment ... -
Larvicidal activity of spinosad and its impact on oviposition preferences of the West Nile vector Culex pipiens biotype molestus – A comparison with a chitin synthesis inhibitor
(2020)In the present study, the larvicidal activity of ageing aqueous suspensions of spinosad against larvae of Culex pipiens biotype molestus, as well as their effect on the oviposition preferences of adult gravid females were ... -
Oviposition Responses of Female Mediterranean Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) to Fruit Volatile Compounds
(2021)The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), is one of the most important pests of fruits worldwide. In the present study, we investigated the ovipositional response of C. capitata females to 37 compounds ... -
Oviposition-deterrent effect of linalool – a compound of citrus essential oils – on female Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
(2020)BACKGROUND: Linalool is a natural scent, found in essential oils (EOs) of several plants. It is widely used as a fragrant, also possessing toxic, oviposition-deterrent and repellent properties against many insect species. ...
