Disease relevance of Tephritidae

  • We discovered Zeocintrade mark is an effective antibiotic against Enterobacter agglomerans and Klebsiella pneumoniae strains isolated from the walnut husk fly (Rhagoletis completa Cresson: Family Tephritidae) and that bleomycin resistance can be used as a selective marker in transforming plasmids [1].
  • No-choice cage tests were used to study the toxicity of imidacloprid-treated spheres to Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), and its associated parasitoid, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead), in the laboratory [2].
 

High impact information on Tephritidae

  • The origins of the oxygen atoms in 1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (1) and hydroxyspiroacetal (2) from Bactrocera cacuminata, and in 2,8-dimethyl-1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane (3) and hydroxyspiroacetal (4) from B. cucumis, have been investigated by incorporation studies from both [(18)O(2)]-dioxygen and [(18)O]-water [3].
  • In the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae, previous studies have described a one-locus three-allele electrophoretic polymorphism of the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase and provided evidence that the polymorphism is under the influence of selection [4].
  • The gene doublesex of the fruit fly Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera, Tephritidae) [5].
  • The cryptochrome (cry) gene, a light-sensitive component of the circadian clock, was isolated in the two Bactrocera species [6].
  • A new hobo, Ac, Tam3 transposable element, hopper, from Bactrocera dorsalis is distantly related to hobo and Ac [7].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Tephritidae

  • This study evaluated the toxicity of five technical-grade insecticides of four different classes to apple maggot females, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), following a 10-min exposure period in insecticide-coated glass jars, with or without a feeding stimulant (sucrose) present [8].
 

Biological context of Tephritidae

  • This observation, in combination with the former finding that various Drosophila species of virilis and repleta group encode two isozymes of ADH which are the result of a gene duplication, challenged us to address a scenario dealing with the evolutionary history of the Adh gene duplication in Tephritidae [9].
  • A homologue of the Drosophila melanogaster eye-colour gene, scarlet (st), has been isolated from the genome of the tephritid fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni [10].
  • Resistance-associated point mutations of organophosphate insensitive acetylcholinesterase, in the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae [11].
  • Partial sequences (approximately 850 bp) of the mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA gene were determined for 21 members of the fruit fly genus Rhagoletis and 6 related tephritid taxa by sequencing DNA amplified by the polymerase chain reaction [12].
  • Possible limitations on P mobility by abnormal transposase transcript processing were tested in Anastrepha suspensa using transposase-encoding plasmids having deleted intron sequences [13].
 

Anatomical context of Tephritidae

  • Rectal gland of Bactrocera papayae: ultrastructure, anatomy, and sequestration of autofluorescent compounds upon methyl eugenol consumption by the male fruit fly [14].
  • Male sex pheromonal components derived from methyl eugenol in the hemolymph of the fruit fly Bactrocera papayae [15].
  • In the present study, ODC activity was measured in samples of Anastrepha fraterculus's egg, larva, pupa body and abdomen, adult body, ovaries, and fat body of young females, and in ovaries of mature flies [16].
 

Associations of Tephritidae with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Tephritidae

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tephritidae

  • A 2.2-kb full length cDNA containing an ORF encoding a putative acetylcholinesterase (AChE) precursor of 673 amino acid residues was obtained by a combined degenerate PCR and RACE strategy from an organophosphate-susceptible Bactrocera oleae strain [11].
