Background The gut bacteria of tephritid fruit flies play prominent roles in nutrition, reproduction, maintenance and ecological adaptations of the host. Here, we adopted an approach based on direct observation of symbiotic or axenic flies feeding on dishes seeded with drops of full diet (containing all amino acids) or full diet supplemented with bacteria at similar concentrations to explore the effects of intestinal bacteria on foraging decision and fitness of Bactrocera dorsalis. Results The results show that intestinal probiotics elicit beneficial foraging decision and enhance the female reproduction fitness and survival of B. dorsalis (symbiotic and axenic), yet preferences for probiotic diets were significantly higher in axenic flies to which they responded faster compared to full diet. Moreover, females fed diet supplemented with Pantoea dispersa and Enterobacter cloacae laid more eggs but had shorter lifespan while female fed Enterococcus faecalis and Klebsiella oxytoca enriched diets lived longer but had lower fecundity compared to the positive control. Conversely, flies fed sugar diet (negative control) were not able to produce eggs, but lived longer than those from the positive control. Conclusions These results suggest that intestinal bacteria can drive the foraging decision in a way which promotes the reproduction and survival of B. dorsalis. Our data highlight the potentials of gut bacterial isolates to control the foraging behavior of the fly and c empower the sterile insect technique (SIT) program through the mass rearing.

“…Second, the absence of eggs in sugar fed flies indicates that amino acids residues are primary precursors of eggs production in B. dorsalis . Taken together, the association between gut microbiome and diet quality has a nutritional and life history basis [21, 37, 49, 50]. In the same light, the establishment of bacterial isolate (for example, Acetobacter thailandicus ) in the gut of Drosophila melanogaster accelerated the host development and enhance the fertility of the offsprings, and their removal represses the oogenesis in comparison to the normal flies [51, 52].…”

“…Later, (Muller et al 2009), found that the mortality of female flies is much greater than in males flies in the cause of protein deprivation when they studied the impact of protien on the life expectancy of medfly. Also, Wang et al (2018) found that protein intake enhanced the survival of adult Bactrocera minax.…”

The program could achieve high successful by releasing insect with reliably intake adequate nutrition and also may prerelease provisioning of protein can improve the sterile insect performance, (Kaspi & Yuval, 2000;Hendrichs et al 2002;Barry et al , 2007 andWang et al 2018).…”

Mass rearing cost is one of the important tools for successful implementation the sterile insect technique (SIT) programme. Yeast hydrolyzed (YH) is an effective protein source for feeding the adult flies of C. capitata and widely used in the mass rearing facilities in spite of it is imported product in many countries and very expensive. Three local protein sources, meat bone meal (MBM), plant protein meal (PPM) and soybean protein (SP) were evaluated as adult feed instead of YH. The life span of adult flies, fecundity, fertility and the other reproductive biology were studied to explore the feasibility of these alternative protein sources for maintaining the performance of medfly colony. The results indicated that the fecundity and fertility were drastically reduced in the case of using the three protein sources as compared with the stander one (YH). While, the percentages of adult survival of male and female flies were relatively similar in the different protein sources and it was clearly higher than those fed on only sugar. The results revealed that when the tested protein sources were supplied with YH (1:1), the reproductive biology parameters were improved, the percentages of egg hatch were insignificantly increased to (84.1, 83.5 and 82.4 %) in YH/PPM, YH/MBM and YH/SP treatments, respectively as compared to YH (80.6%). Also, in the same treatments, the egg laid per female per day were higher (24.5, 23.4 and 22.6 eggs/day), respectively than YH tratment (22.2 eggs/day). Moreover, the pupation were significantly reduced and the larval durations were prolonged in PPM, MBM and SP treatments and not affected in YH/PPM, YH/MBM and YH/SP treatments as compared to YH treatment. The results indicated that the three commercial protein sources were effective dietaries when used with the yeast hydrolysate at the ratio 1:1, this procedure will significantly diminished the mass rearing cost of C. capitata.
