“…Here, we found that H. halys was susceptible to potassium salts but not to azadirachtin, a neem-based product. Spinosad has been tested and used for management of many insect pests (Sparks et al 2012), such as Diptera (Burns et al 2001), Lepidoptera (Zhao et al 2002), and Thysanoptera (Eger et al 1998). Kamminga et al (2009) reported that spinosad was as effective as lambda-cyhalothrin in laboratory bioassays against C. hilaris and E. servus.…”

“…According to Burns et al (2001), the susceptibility to spinosad bait in the field trial was not different between A. suspensa and C. capitata, and both spinosad bait and malathion -Nulure® -water mixture provided comparable control of the medfly.…”

Neotropical Entomology 34(5): 815-822 (2005) Efeito de Isca Tóxica à Base de Spinosad Contra Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Insecta, mosca-das-frutas, inseticida, mortalidadeABSTRACT -Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the mortalities caused by spinosad in Ceratitis capitata (Wied.) and Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.). Spinosad formulated bait, diluted in water, was compared with baits of malathion, trichlorfon, fenthion and deltamethrin. The lethal time increased for C. capitata (medfly) adults fed in lower concentrations of spinosad. The LT50 values for C. capitata were estimated in 106, 126 and 154 min for 80, 8 and 4 ppm, respectively. No differences at LT50 were observed for different ages, 2-3d, 3-5d and 5-7d old C. capitata exposed to 80 ppm. Both fruit fly species presented similar pattern of survival when treated with spinosad at 80 ppm. In general, fenthion and trichlorfon showed LT50 values lower than spinosad for different ages of medfly. After 180 min from initial exposure to spinosad bait, the mortality rates of 2-3d and 3-5d old C. capitata were similar to that by fenthion. The LT50 for A. fraterculus was estimated in 85.9 min, slightly shorter than for C. capitata when both species were exposed to 8 ppm of spinosad. Medfly adults exposed to concentrations equal or inferior to 0.4 ppm of spinosad showed LT50s longer than 12 h. Leaves treated and kept in the field with baits of spinosad, malathion, fenthion and deltamethrin, caused high mortalities of medfly adults until two days after treatment.

“…Numerous methods have been tried to control medfly populations, including chemical products, such as malathion and other organophosphate insecticides (4,8), classic biological control programs based on the release of some of parasitoids and predators (38,41,44), toxic baits (2,13,31,32,35,56), mass trapping systems (24,51), the sterile insect technique (7,34,61,63,72,73), and development of integrated strategies of management (71). In spite of all of these attempts, control of Mediterranean fruit fly populations has been ineffective, and losses associated with this pest worldwide are constantly increasing (21,46).…”

Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), is one of the most important fruit pests worldwide. The medfly is a polyphagous species that causes losses in many crops, which leads to huge economic losses. Entomopathogenic bacteria belonging to the genus Bacillus have been proven to be safe, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective tools to control pest populations. As no control method for C. capitata based on these bacteria has been developed, isolation of novel strains is needed. Here, we report the isolation of 115 bacterial strains and the results of toxicity screening with adults and larvae of C. capitata. As a result of this analysis, we obtained a novel Bacillus pumilus strain, strain 15.1, that is highly toxic to C. capitata larvae. The toxicity of this strain for C. capitata was related to the sporulation process and was observed only when cultures were incubated at low temperatures before they were used in a bioassay. The mortality rate for C. capitata larvae ranged from 68 to 94% depending on the conditions under which the culture was kept before the bioassay. Toxicity was proven to be a special characteristic of the newly isolated strain, since other B. pumilus strains did not have a toxic effect on C. capitata larvae. The results of the present study suggest that B. pumilus 15.1 could be considered a strong candidate for developing strategies for biological control of C. capitata.
