Effect of temperature on the fecundity of Pezothrips kellyanus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
(2012)The reproductive biology of a citrus pest Pezothrips kellyanus (Bagnall) was studied at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, and 30°C) on lemon leaf discs, under laboratory conditions. Lifetime fecundity of mated P. ... -
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 ... -
Efficacy of polydimethylsiloxane against Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae)
(2021)We evaluated, under controlled laboratory conditions, the insecticidal activity of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for the control of the house mosquito, Culex pipiens. In a first series of bioassays, we tested the residual ... -
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. ... -
Seasonal trends in ceratitis capitata reproductive potential derived from live-caught females in Greece
(2011)Reproductive data of individual insects are extremely hard to collect under natural conditions, thus the study of research questions related to oviposition has not advanced. Patterns of oviposition are often inferred only ... -
Susceptibility of kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.) cultivars to Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) infestation
(2014)Laboratory no-choice tests were conducted to determine whether the kiwifruit cultivars Hayward, Tsechelidis (Actinidia deliciosa) and Soreli (A. chinensis) are hosts of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. ...
