The Sterile Insect Technique for Control of the Oriental Fruit Fly, Bactrocera Dorsalis (Hendel), in Mango Orchards in Ratchaburi Province, Thailand

Box 100, A-1400 Vienna, Austria 4Entomology Unit, FAO/IAEA Agriculture and Biotechnology Laboratory, Seibersdorf, Austria Fruit flies are the main constraint to improving production and trade of fruits and vegetables in Thailand. Therefore, since 1987, the Department of Agricultural Extension (DOAE) in cooperation with the Office of Atomic Energy for Peace has run a pilot project for control of the oriental fruit fly (OFF),Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel),by integrating the sterile insect technique (SIT) with other moni- toring and control methods in the mango-production areas in the Paktor District in the Ratchaburi province. The project includes mass-rearing and sterilization of OFF at the mass-rearing and steril- ization facility of the Irradiation for Agricultural Development Institute, DOAE, located in the Pathumthani Province and field releases of sterile flies complemented by bait sprays and a monitor- ing network of methyl eugenol baited traps. The International Atomic Energy Agency has pro- vided technical assistance since 1991 through a Technical Cooperation Project. The assistance has resulted in improved rearing and field operation activities. In the years 1999 and 2000, weekly ground shipments of 5–10 million sterile pupae were transported from the production facility in Pathumthani to Paktor District for ground release in 1120 ha of small commercial mango orchards. -

Accepted 1 June, 2012 The African invader fly, Bactrocera invadens, an invasive pest in Africa since 2003, causes damage and poses a threat to the mango and horticultural industry. Its control is therefore needed. Sterilization of males using gamma radiation doses (25, 50 and 75 Gy) as a means of population control was investigated. Irradiation at the pupal stage (about 6 days after pupation) was found to be suitable. It was observed that a gamma radiation dose of 75 Gy rendered males of B. invadens completely sterile, while doses of 25 and 50 Gy induced partial sterility in the males. Females were made completely sterile by all doses of radiation tested. Key words: Bactrocera invadens, mango, gamma radiation doses, Sterile Insect Technique, fertility. INTRODUCTION In 2003, the African invader fly, Bactrocera invadens Furthermore, the presence of B. invadens in sub-Sahara (originating from Asia) was detected in Kenya and was Africa hampers trade between this region and other reported to be spreading across tropical Africa (Lux et al., regions of the world (Guichard, 2008, 2009). -

In two different farming scales, small and large, we verified the influence of suppressing the invasive Bactrocera dorsalis using the male specific attractant, methyl eugenol (ME), formulated in SPLAT-spinosad. In small-scale farm plots, use of ME did reduce B. dorsalis populations, but population levels remained high throughout the study. In mark-release-recapture studies, male flies were found to disperse fast and beyond one km from the release point. In large-scale farm plots, the invasive pest was controlled within eight months of suppression using ME-based suppression in combination with other pest management techniques. However, this was paralleled by a quick resurgence of the native fruit fly Ceratitis capitata, likely due to competition release. -

The discovery of methyl eugenol (ME) as a potent male attractant for this species has led to its successful use in area-wide fruit fly control programs such as male annihilation. While the antenna is recognized as primarily responsible for male flies’ detection of attractants such as ME, little is known of the involvement of the maxillary palp. Using behavioral assays involving males with intact and ablated antennae and maxillary palp structures, we seek to ascertain the relative involvement of the maxillary palp in the ability of the male fly to detect ME. In cage bioassays (distance of ≤40 cm from the source), >97% of unmodified males will normally show a response to ME. Here, we showed that 17.6% of males with their antennae ablated were still attracted to ME versus 75.0% of males with their palps ablated. -

Simple Summary: Tephritid fruit flies comprise pests of high agricultural relevance and species that have emerged as global invaders. Chemical signals play key roles in multiple steps of a fruit fly’s life. The production and detection of chemical cues are critical in many behavioural interactions of tephritids, such as finding mating partners and hosts for oviposition. The characterisation of the molecules involved in these behaviours sheds light on understanding the biology and ecology of fruit flies and in addition provides a solid base for developing novel species-specific pest control tools by exploiting and/or interfering with chemical perception. Here we provide a comprehensive Citation: Scolari, F.; Valerio, F.; overview of the extensive literature on different types of chemical cues emitted by tephritids, with Benelli, G.; Papadopoulos, N.T.; a focus on the most relevant fruit fly pest species. -

Being masters of chemical reactions, they regulate the recycling of all major chemicals relevant to life; manage energy sources and the production of fuels; determine the aerobic conditions of our atmos- phere and influence our climate; are the catalytic fac- tors of soil fertility, thus affecting agricultural produc- tion; and have also been of paramount importance for the health of ecosystems and of all living organisms including humans. Last, but not least, they have been the driving force of the on-going “biotechnological revolution”, which promises to produce more and healthier food, drugs and “green” fuels. Because of all their unique metabolic properties, microbes have been driving the evolution of life on earth, either by being free-living or by establishing symbiotic associations with diverse organisms including insects. Insects are the most abundant and species-rich animal group on earth, occupying most available ecological niches. Conservative estimates suggest that about 85% of all described animal species are insects; estimates range between 2-30 million insect species and about 10 18 quintillion (10 ) individual insects being alive at any given time (http://www.si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI/nmnh/ The tsetse fly Glossina morsitans and its associated symbiotic bac- buginfo/bugnos.htm). -

Trophic interactions and their role in structuring ecological communities A large part of the diversity we observe today in nature is a result of interactions taking place in species communities: it is difficult to think about a species living in complete isolation from other species. Major events in diversification have been due to the appearance of novel assemblages of species, which gave rise to new sets of interacting species (Thompson 1999). The way in which species that occupy the same environment relate to each other ultimately determines the structure of their ecological community (Chase et al. 2002). Often, species assemblages may fluctuate around stable states of interacting populations, revealing a certain organization among the species that share the same area (Hairston and Hairston 1997). Species co-existence is usually the product of an evolutionary process, which can involve several forces, positive and negative, based on the nature of the interactions taking place within a given community. Perturbations in the composition of species, such as the planned or accidental introduction of novel species, may interfere with the already structured web of interactions. -

Tephritidae, representing serious threats for Europe, are numerous, and the fruit flies Bactrocera zonata and those belonging to Bactrocera dorsalis complex are among the most alarming species. These species are highly polyphagous and B. zonata has already spread to some Mediterranean countries. Due to these ongoing threats, in the Campania Region (southern Italy), a survey with traps and infested fruits analysis was performed with the aim of detecting the presence of species of Bactrocera dorsalis complex. In two mixed fruit-trees fields, some adults belonging to a species of Bactrocera were captured in traps baited with the highly attractive male lure (methyl eugenol). They were distinguished from similar-looking Bactrocera spp. by morphological and molecular comparative analyses. Considering the existing morphological keys, specimens were tentatively identified as B. dorsalis but molecular characterization with COI split them into two clades. Some specimens were grouped with B. dorsalis similar to B. kandiensis and B. kandiensis and others in a clade including B.
