Data from: Genetic elimination of field-cage populations of Mediterranean fruit flies
The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann) is a pest of over 300 fruits, vegetables and nuts. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a control measure used to reduce the reproductive potential of populations through the mass release of sterilized male insects that mate with wi...

| description | The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann) is a
pest of over 300 fruits, vegetables and nuts. The sterile insect technique
(SIT) is a control measure used to reduce the reproductive potential of
populations through the mass release of sterilized male insects that mate
with wild females. However, SIT flies can display poor field performance,
due to the effects of mass-rearing and of the irradiation process used for
sterilization. The development of female-lethal RIDL (release of insects
carrying a dominant lethal) strains for medfly can overcome many of the
problems of SIT associated with irradiation. Here, we present life-history
characterizations for two medfly RIDL strains, OX3864A and OX3647Q. Our
results show (i) full functionality of RIDL, (ii) equivalency of RIDL and
wild-type strains for life-history characteristics, and (iii) a high level
of sexual competitiveness against both wild-type and wild-derived males.
We also present the first proof-of-principle experiment on the use of RIDL
to eliminate medfly populations. Weekly releases of OX3864A males into
stable populations of wild-type medfly caused a successive decline in
numbers, leading to eradication. The results show that genetic control can
provide an effective alternative to SIT for the control of pest insects. |
