Zusammenfassung: | The Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), is a pest of quarantine significance of carambolas. The fruits are subjected to cold storage quarantine treatment when shipped to areas outside of the known range and where the fly could survive. In this study, rapid cooling in cold water increased mortality of Caribbean fruit fly larvae in carambolas over passive air cooling. Air-cooled carambolas required more than 24 h to cool to the treatment temperature of 1.1°C, while water-cooled fruits required only about 45 min. After 1 day, Anastrepha suspensa larvae had greater than 65% mortality in water-cooled carambolas, while mortality of larvae in air-cooled fruits was only 20%. Mortality of larvae in water-cooled fruits was 98% at 4 days, and 100% (1,900 larvae treated) after 9 days. Twenty six larvae were recovered from air-cooled fruits after 4 days (1,900 larvae treated), and one larva after 11 days of treatment. Larval mortality from cold-water-treated fruit reached probit 9 in 8 days, about 2/3 the time (13 days) required for the same level of mortality of larvae in air-cooled fruits. This difference in mortality is probably due to the rapidity of the cooling. It may be possible to use this modification to shorten the current cold treatment of 12 days at 1.1°C for Florida carambolas. /// La mosca del Caribe, Anastrepha suspensa(Loew), es una plaga de la carambola, Averrhoa carambola L., con importancia cuarentenaria. Las carambolas de la Florida son sometidas a tratamiento cuarentenario de almacenaje en frío antes de ser enviadas a lugares donde esa mosca no existe pero tendría posibilidades de sobrevivir. En este estudio, el enfriamiento rápido en agua incrementó la mortalidad de las larvas de la mosca del Caribe en comparación con el enfriamiento pasivo mediante aire. La carambolas tratadas con aire frío requirieron un mínimo de 24 h para alcanzar la temperatura de tratamiento de 1.1°C, mientras que las enfriadas con agua requirieron solamente cerca de 45 minutos. Después de un día, las larvas de Anastrepha suspensa Loew tuvieron más del 65% de mortalidad en las carambolas tratadas con agua fría, mientras que las larvas de frutas tratadas con aire frío tuvieron solamente 20% de mortalidad. Las larvas de las frutas enfriadas con agua tuvieron un 98% de mortalidad a los 4 días y ninguna larva viva (de 1900 tratadas) fue recuperada 9 días después del tratamiento. Veintiseis larvas fueron recuperadas de frutas tratadas con aire frío después de 11 días |
