Host status of purple passionfruit for the Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a key pest of a wide range of fruit crops and the focus of rigid quarantine restrictions and eradication measures in several countries. In Colombia, the susceptibility of purple passionfruit (Pasiflora edulis f. edu...

description The Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a key pest of a wide range of fruit crops and the focus of rigid quarantine restrictions and eradication measures in several countries. In Colombia, the susceptibility of purple passionfruit (Pasiflora edulis f. edulis Sims; Violales: Passifloraceae) to C. capitata is uncertain. Field collections of fruit were made to evaluate natural infestation. Forced infestation studies were conducted in the laboratory with punctured and intact fruit to determine the acceptability of fruit at different stages of maturity and physiological suitability of fruit to development. No C. capitata larvae were found and no adults emerged from a total of 976 hand-picked fruit and 623 fallen fruit. In the meantime, trap data indicated that C. capitata is not present in the principal passionfruit production regions. For intact fruit, C. capitata females oviposited exclusively in fruit of maturity level zero, with 41.67% of fruit accepted for oviposition and an average of 183.1 ± 33.8 eggs per fruit. No oviposition was recorded in fruit of maturity levels 2 and 4. For punctured fruit, C. capitata oviposited a total of 84,410 and 84,250 eggs into fruit of maturity levels 0 and 2, respectively, but no C. capitata adults emerged from fruit at either maturity level. Laboratory tests suggest that purple passionfruit is a non-host for C. capitata.

La mosca del Mediterráneo Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) es una plaga clave de una amplia gama de frutales y es el foco de estrictas restricciones cuarentenarias y medidas de erradicación en varios países. En Colombia, la susceptibilidad del maracuyá morado (Pasiflora edulis f. edulis Sims; Violales: Passifloraceae) a C. capitata es incierta. Se hicieron colectas de frutos en campo para evaluar el nivel de infestación. En el laboratorio se desarrollaron estudios de infestación forzada con frutos perforados e intactos para determinar la aceptabilidad del fruto en los diferentes estados de maduración e idoneidad fisiológica del desarrollo de los frutos. No se encontraron larvas de C. capitata ni adultos emergidos en un total de 976 frutos recogidos manualmente y 623 frutos caídos. Mientras tanto, los datos de captura indicaron que C. capitata no está presente en las principales regiones de producción del maracuyá. Para frutos intactos, las hembras de C. capitata ovipositaron exclusivamente frutos de nivel de maduración cero, con 41.67% de aceptación de frutos para oviposición y en un rango de 183.1 ± 33.8 huevos por fruto. No se registró oviposición en frutos con niveles de maduración 2 y 4. Para frutos perforados, C. capitata ovipositó un total de 84,410 y 84,250 huevos dentro de frutos con nivel de maduración 0 y 2 respectivamente, pero no emergieron adultos de C. capitata de los frutos en ningún nivel de maduración. Las pruebas de laboratorio sugieren que el maracuyá morado no es hospedero para C. capitata. 2011-03 2014-09-24T08:42:17Z 2014-09-24T08:42:17Z Journal Article https://hdl.handle.net/10568/43538 en Open Access Florida Entomological Society
