Abstract Background The peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a serious polyphagous pest of fruits and vegetables. Chemical management of B. zonata in fruits results in toxic residues that have adverse health effects on consumers resulting in increased demand for eco-friendly approaches. Laboratory bioassay was conducted to determine the pathogenicity of fungal and bacterial biopesticides against B. zonata. Results The pathogenicity of all tested bioinsecticides revealed that the maximum concentration (1 × 108 CFU ml−1) of Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, Lecanicillium lecanii and Bacillus thuringiensis caused 95.8–100%, 95.9–97.9%, 32.7–39.6%, and 20.0–22.4% mortality in B. zonata, respectively at 7 d post-application interval (PAI) as compared to mortality demonstrated by the same concentration at 5 d PAI. All tested microbial insecticides induced statistically similar mortality in both male and female B. zonata at each concentration for the same PAI. Correlation coefficient (r) values reveal that concentrations of each microbial insecticide had a high positive correlation with mortalities of male and female B. zonata. Regression parameters reveal that concentrations of tested microbial insecticides had significant linear relationship with and explained significant variability in B. zonata mortality (P < 0.05). Results also revealed that M. anisopliae was proved more pathogenic to males and females of B. zonata demonstrating the least LC50 values (5.48 × 103, and 6.17 × 103 CFU ml−1, respectively) 7 d post-application intervals, followed by B. bassiana which explained LC50 value of 1.14 × 104 CFU and 1.15 × 105 CFU ml−1 for B. zonata males and females, respectively, at the same period of application, but less than that of L. lecanii (2.77 × 109 and 1.43 × 109 CFU ml−1) and then B. thuringiensis (3.40 × 1010 and 1.39 × 1010 CFU ml−1) for the males and females, respectively, at 7 d PAIs. Conclusion Metarhizium anisopliae incorporated adult diet was proved more effective against B. zonata, followed by B. bassiana, L. lecanii, and B. thuringiensis. Hence, M. anisopliae can be recommended for incorporating in bait-traps to develop attract-and-kill technology for B. zonata.

The peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders, Diptera: Tephritidae), has been a serious pest in the last decade attacking a wide range of fruits in Egypt. The toxicity of Malathion, Diazinon, Methoxyfenozide and Lufenuron to adult males and females of B. zonata was studied under laboratory conditions. The results showed that Diazinon was the most toxic among the tested compounds followed by Malathion, Lufenuron and Methoxyfenozide. LC<sub>50</sub> values for adult males and females were 0.20 ppm, 0.09 ppm and 0.02 ppm (for males), 0.91 ppm, 0.14 ppm and 0,01 ppm (for females), respectively. The results showed that the level of glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) of treated adult males and females in 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post treatment increased compared to untreated adults. The highest activities of GOT in treated adult males in 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h were 92.11&micro;M, 101.99&micro;M and 112.21&micro;M pyruvate released &times; 10<sup>3</sup>/min/g FW (fresh weight), respectively, for Methoxyfenozide LC<sub>10</sub>, and in treated adult females after 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h they were 84.24&micro;M, 94.33&micro;M, and 111.12&micro;M pyruvate released &times; 10<sup>3</sup>/min/g FW, respectively, for Diazinon LC<sub>25</sub>. The activities of acetylcholine esterase of treated adults decreased compared to untreated adults. The highest activities of acid phosphatase in adult males after 24 h and 48 h were 249.43 &micro;g and 270.52 &micro;g AchI hydrolysed/min/g FW, respectively, for Methoxyfenozide LC<sub>25</sub>. The highest activities of alkaline phosphatase in adult males were 139.04 &micro;g, 175.67 &micro;g, and 199.29 &micro;g phenol &times; 10<sup>3</sup>/min/g FW for Malathion LC<sub>10</sub> and in adult females they were 123.31 &micro;g, 162.10 &micro;g and 199.59 &micro;g phenol.10<sup>3</sup>/min/g FW, respectively, for Lufenuron LC<sub>25</sub> in 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post treatment.

Peach fruit fly, Bactrocera zonata (Saunders) (Diptera: Tephritidae), has been a serious pest in the last decade attacking a wide range of fruits in Egypt. The toxicity of Malathion, Diazinon, Methoxyfenozide, and Lufenuron to adult males and females of Bactrocera zonata was studied under laboratory conditions. Diazinon was the most toxic among the tested compounds followed by Malathion, Lufenuron and Methoxyfenozide to Bactrocera zonata at 24 h post treatment, the respective LC<sub>50</sub> values were 0.20 ppm, 0.48ppm, 8.97ppm, and 9.73ppm for males and 0.26 ppm, 0.91ppm, 11.26ppm, and 14.12ppm for females. At 48 h post treatment Diazinon was the most toxic followed by Malathion, Methoxyfenozide and Lufenuron to Bactrocera zonata, LC<sub>50</sub> values were 0.09ppm, 0.34ppm, 1.60ppm, and 1.88 ppm for males and 0.14 ppm, 0.44ppm, 1.68ppm and 2.17 ppm for females. At 72&nbsp;h post treatment Diazinon was the most toxic followed by Malathion, Lufenuron and Methoxyfenozide to Bactrocera zonata, LC<sub>50</sub> values were 0.02 ppm, 0.13ppm, 0.22ppm and 0.51ppm for males and 0.07 ppm, 0.16ppm, 0.55 ppm and 0.62 ppm for females. It is observed that LC<sub>50</sub> values for treated adult females increased more than in the treated adult males at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post treatment. It means that the adult males were more susceptible to the tested insecticides than the adult females.

Realistic Data

Effect of age, sex and time exposure of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) to toxicity of fenthion was evaluated. The age of the flies was important to the appearance of the first intoxication symptoms; males and females of reproductive ages (30 and 60 days-old, respectively) were less susceptible to insecticide than flies in the remainder ages (four and 120 days-old). The effect of body weight on insect intoxication was not detected. LT 50 biossay with fenthion (varying from 3-7 minutes) showed a lower susceptibility of males than females at all ages. Adults of both sexes and 30 days-old submitted to continuous and discontinuous exposure to fenthion did not show toxic cumulative effect of the insecticide. The statistical analysis suggests a possible general detoxification mechanism (quantitative and/or qualitative) to fenthion sex-, age- and time-related. Once the species is highly mobile in nature we suggest that in fruit fly toxicological bioassays, these biological traits need to be observed in order to obtain more realistic data.

Abstract Native to South and South-East Asia, B. zonata is now found in more than 20 countries. The potential risk of its introduction to a new area is facilitated by increasing international tourism and trade, and is influenced by changes in climate and land use. After introduction, it can easily adapt and spread as it is a polyphagous species and has a high reproductive potential (as many as 564 eggs in a lifetime), high biotic potential (several generations of progeny in a year), and a rapid dispersal ability. B. zonata is a strong flier and can be active throughout the year. Economic impacts may result primarily from the loss of export markets and the costly requirement of quarantine restrictions and eradication measures. Furthermore, its establishment may have a serious impact on the environment following the initiation of chemical and/or biological control programmes. B. zonata is of quarantine significance to EPPO (the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization) countries. The pest is classified on the A1 List of Pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests.
