Polymerase-chain-reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was
performed to establish genetic markers in rDNA, for the identification of the three sibling …

… oleae after several generations of laboratory selection (Mathiopoulos and Vontas,
unpublished data). No reports on spinosad resistance in C. capitata has been published. …

… OP use takes place in the surrounding area (5–8 treatments per season), and flies from the
Argalasti orchard are highly OP resistant (Kakani EG, Zygouridis NE and Mathiopoulos KD, …

The olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is the most important pest
of olives in countries around the Mediterranean basin. Its control has been based mostly on …

In insects, rapidly evolving primary sex-determining signals are transduced by a conserved
regulatory module controlling sexual differentiation. In the agricultural pest Ceratitis capitata (…

A set of genetic markers, based on PCR-RFLPs of three diagnostic restriction enzymes (Hhal,
Hinfl and Taql), which proved to be suitable for the identification of the species of the …

Prophenoloxidase, a melanin-synthesizing enzyme, is considered to be an important
arthropod immune protein. In mosquitoes, prophenoloxidase has been shown to be involved in …

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae, is the main pest of the olive fruit and its expansion is
exclusively restricted to the cultivation zone of the olive tree. Even though olive production has a …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in various cellular and
metabolic processes in mosquitoes and all other organisms studied thus far. In particular, their …

Early attempts to apply the SIT on the olive fly, B actrocera oleae, were unsuccessful, mainly
due to the low competitiveness of the sterile mass‐reared males compared with the wild …
