“…'Tommy Atkins' mango at ambient conditions (25 ± 1 • C, 65 ± 5% RH) to hatch was 2 days. This finding is comparable to results of previous studies that reported an average of 1.2 ± 0.02 days [49], 1-2 days [50], 2-3 days [37], and 3 days [51]. The slight variances in the above findings are probably due to differences in the incubation temperature, host material, and experimental procedure, which are known to influence the development and performance of stages of B. dorsalis [47,52].…”

Mango production and trade in sub-Saharan Africa is hampered by direct damage and the high quarantine status of B. dorsalis and the paucity of effective post-harvest phytosanitary treatments. The current study reports the development of a quarantine treatment protocol using hot water to disinfest B. dorsalis and assess its effect on cv. Tommy Atkins mango quality. We first determined the development of the eggs and all larval stages of B. dorsalis in cv. Tommy Atkins mango and used the information to establish a time–mortality relationship of the immature stages after subjecting infested fruits to a regimen of eight, time instances of hot water at 46.1 °C. Using probit analysis, we estimated the minimum time required to achieve 99.9968% mortality of each stage. Our results indicate that the egg was the least heat tolerant, followed by the first, second, and third instar. The time required to achieve 99.9968% control of the third instar in cv. Tommy Atkins mango (400–600 g) was determined to be 72.63 min (95% Cl: 70.32–74.95). In the confirmatory trials, the hot water treatment schedule of 46.1 °C/72.63 min was validated, and none of the 59,120 most heat-tolerant individuals treated survived. Further, there were no significant differences between hot water-treated and untreated mangoes recorded in weight loss, fruit firmness, pH, total soluble solids, moisture content, and titratable acidity eleven days post-treatment. These findings demonstrate an effectively optimum post-harvest disinfestation treatment against B. dorsalis in cv. Tommy Atkins mango that should be adopted commercially to facilitate access to profitable but strict export markets globally.

“…dorsalis adults reared with an artificial diet, although B . dorsalis females had a host preference for oviposition and their reproduction was affected by the host plants they had grown [ 30 ]. We improved the current OM using a two-phase OM and precisely estimated egg production under various temperatures, especially lower temperature conditions.…”

“…They were reared on an artificial diet for more than 200 generations in TARI. Insects were reared according to the method of Huang and Chi [ 30 ] based on an artificial diet developed by Tanaka et al [ 47 ]. Pupae were placed in a plastic netted cage (30 x 30 cm) and emerged as adults, who were then fed an artificial diet composed of 200 g Yeast Hydrolysate Enzymatic (MP Biomedicals, LLC., Illkirch-Graffenstaden, France), 40 g granulated sugar, 10 ml protein hydrolysate (Alco Standard Co., Pennsylvania, USA), and 50 ml water.…”

“…Eighteen or twenty cages were treated at each temperature, but a few cages were excluded in analysis when female escaped from a cage during egg examination. A female with two males produces significantly more eggs than females with only one male [ 30 ]. A perforated plastic cup (diameter and height both 4 cm) was provided for the oviposition site with a cotton ball soaked in guava juice placed inside the cup.…”

“…B. dorsalis normally develop and survive in a temperature range of 15˚C to 35˚C, unless they experience mass mortality and are unable to develop, inferred from the studies on relationship between temperature and development and survival [14,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Several studies have investigated the reproduction of B. dorsalis in relation to altering temperatures, food resources, dietary restrictions, polyandry, and glutamine synthetase [1,[27][28][29][30][31][32]. However, there have been fewer studies on modeling adult reproduction (i.e., oviposition model) compared to modeling the immature stage's development.…”

Thermal effect on the fecundity and longevity of Bactrocera dorsalis adults and their improved oviposition model

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis , is a destructive polyphagous pest that causes damage to various fruit crops, and their distribution is currently expanding worldwide. Temperature is an important abiotic factor that influences insect population dynamics and distribution by affecting their survival, development, and reproduction. We examined the fecundity, pre-oviposition and oviposition periods, and longevity of adult B . dorsalis at various constant temperatures ranging from13°C to 35°C. The longevity of female B . dorsalis ranged from 116.8 days (18.8°C) to 22.4 days (34.9°C), and the maximum fecundity per female was 1,684 eggs at 28.1°C. Females were only able to lay eggs at 16.7°C to 34.9°C, and both the pre-oviposition and oviposition periods were different depending on the temperature. We modeled female reproduction in two oviposition models (OMs): 1) the current model developed by Kim and Lee, an OM composed of a fecundity model, age-specific survival model, and age-specific cumulative oviposition rate model, and 2) a two-phase OM modified the logic structure of the current model by separating pre-oviposition, so that oviposition was estimated with the female in oviposition phase who had complete pre-oviposition phase. The results of the two-phase OM provided more realistic outputs at lower and higher temperatures than those of the current model. We discussed the usefulness of the two-phase OM for the reproduction of insects with long pre-oviposition periods.
