Altered GPI modification of insect AChE improves tolerance to organophosphate insecticides
Kakani, E. G.; Bon, S.; Massoulie, J.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2011)The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae is the most destructive and intractable pest of olives. The management of B. oleae has been based on the use of organophosphate (OP) insecticides, a practice that induced resistance. ... -
Detection and geographical distribution of the organophosphate resistance-associated Delta 3Q ace mutation in the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi)
Kakani, E. G.; Sagri, E.; Omirou, M.; Ioannides, I. M.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2014)BACKGROUND The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is the most important pest of olives. Its control is based mostly on organophosphate (OP) insecticides, a practice that has led to resistance ... -
Genomic structure, organization and localization of the acetylcholinesterase locus of the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae
Kakani, E. G.; Trakala, M.; Drosopoulou, E.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2013)Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), encoded by the ace gene, is a key enzyme of cholinergic neurotransmission. Insensitive acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been shown to be responsible for resistance to OPs and CBs in a number of ... -
Isolation and characterization of microsatellite markers from the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, and their cross-species amplification in the Tephritidae family
Augustinos, A. A.; Stratikopoulos, E. E.; Drosopoulou, E.; Kakani, E. G.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P.; Zacharopoulou, A.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2008)Background: The Tephritidae family of insects includes the most important agricultural pests of fruits and vegetables, belonging mainly to four genera (Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Anastrepha and Rhagoletis). The olive fruit ... -
Isolation, annotation and applications of expressed sequence tags from the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae
Tsoumani, K. T.; Augustinos, A. A.; Kakani, E. G.; Drosopoulou, E.; Mavragani-Tsipidou, P.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2011)The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the major pest of the olive tree. Despite its importance, very little genetic and molecular knowledge is available. The present study is a first attempt to identify and characterize ... -
Organophosphate resistance in olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, populations in Greece and Cyprus
Skouras, P. J.; Margaritopoulos, J. T.; Seraphides, N. A.; Ioannides, I. M.; Kakani, E. G.; Mathiopoulos, K. D.; Atsitsipis, J. (2007)The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the most important pest of olives in countries around the Mediterranean basin. Its control has been based mostly on bait sprays with organophosphate ... -
Organophosphosphate resistance-related mutations in the acetylcholinesterase gene of Tephritidae
Kakani, E. G.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2008)Tephritid insects comprise one of the most devastating families of insect pests worldwide. Organophosphate insecticides have been extensively used for their control during the last 40 years. Inevitably, this has led to the ... -
A small deletion in the olive fly acetylcholinesterase gene associated with high levels of organophosphate resistance
Kakani, E. G.; Ioannides, I. M.; Margaritopoulos, J. T.; Seraphides, N. A.; Skouras, P. J.; Tsitsipis, J. A.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2008)Organophosphate resistance in the olive fly was previously shown to associate with two point mutations in the ace gene. The frequency of these mutations was monitored in Bactrocera oleae individuals of increasing resistance. ... -
Spinosad resistance development in wild olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae) populations in California
Kakani, E. G.; Zygouridis, N. E.; Tsoumani, K. T.; Seraphides, N.; Zalom, F. G.; Mathiopoulos, K. D. (2010)BACKGROUND: Among target pests of the insecticide spinosad is the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera:Tephritidae). In Cyprus, spinosad has been sporadically used since its registration in 2002, whereas in ...
