Moscas-das-frutas (Diptera, Tephritidae) no Estado de Goiás: ocorrência e distribuição

Abstract

INTRODUÇÃOUm dos maiores obstáculos à produção e livre comercialização de frutos frescos, no Brasil e no mundo, é a presença das moscas-das-frutas (Diptera, Tephritidae), nas áreas comerciais, devido aos danos diretos causados por suas larvas, no interior dos frutos, e às restrições quarentenárias impostas por países importadores destes produtos (Malavasi 2000 Fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) in the Goiás State, Brazil: occurrence and distributionThe Goiás State, in Brazil, presents a high number of host plant species for fruit flies, whose fruits ripen at different seasons, providing an increase in the pest population density and its wide distribution. Throughout the Goiás State, fruit flies occur in high or low frequency, both in rural and urban areas. Besides the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), 21 species of Anastrepha flies are currently known, mainly A. obliqua, A. fraterculus, A. sororcula and A. zenildae, due to their economic importance, and A. grandis, for being a quarantine pest. The A. grandis species has been recorded in 13 cities in the Goiás State, however, this information does not preclude the fruits export programs implemented in the State, because it was observed, in the production units, that the FTD index (flies trap -1 day -1) was lower than 0.1, in accordance with the rates established by the Brazilian legislation, for the export of cucurbit fruits. KEY-WORDS: Ceratitis spp.; Anastrepha spp.; fruits pests. ARTIGO DE REVISÃO

Moscas-das-Frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae) em pomares de goiaba no norte de Minas Gerais: biodiversidade, parasitóides e controle biológico.

“…O controle das moscas-das-frutas, entre outros fatores, é grandemente dificultado pela vasta gama de hospedeiros, principalmente nativos, que proporcionam condições de sobrevivência durante todo o período do ano, além de proporcionar a formação de gerações superpostas (Veloso et al, 2000).…”

Fruit flies and parasitoids associated with guava in Barbalha, Ceará, Brazil

“…In the guava orchard in Barbalha, the greatest rainfall volume and guava fruit development were registered precisely in the months of greatest population peaks. Veloso et al (2012) reported that the occurrence of fruit flies commonly coincides with the fruit development periods of host plants. However, studies performed by Araujo & Zucchi (2003) in a semi-arid guava orchard proved that the orchard fruit availability is essential to increase the fruit fly population.…”

Frugivorous flies and their parasitoids associated with Surinam cherry fruits

“…There are reports of 6 species of frugivorous flies associated with E. uniflora: Tephritidae: Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1930), Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart, 1835), Anastrepha sororcula (Zucchi, 1979) and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824); and Lonchaeidae: Neosilba zadolicha (McAlpine & Steyskal, 1982) and Neosilba n. sp.3 (Alvarenga et al, 2009;Nunes et al, 2012;Veloso et al, 2012;Dias et al, 2013).…”
