PBAN-INDUCED SEX PHEROMONE BIOSYNTHESIS IN HELIOTHIS PELTIGERA : STRUCTURE, DOSE, AND TIME-DEPENDENT ANALYSIS
- M. Altstein, E. Dunkelblum, Tal Gabay, Orna Ben Aziz, Irit Schafler, Y. Gazit
- Biology
- 1995
A structure-activity relationship study of Hez-PBAN was performed with respect to its pheromonotropic activity, using Heliothis peltigera as the test animal. The activity of N- and C-terminally… Expand
Thermal Death Kinetics of Egg and Third Instar Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)

- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of economic entomology
- 1 October 2004
Abstract Two developmental stages of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), 24-h-old eggs and third instars, 8 d after oviposition, were subjected to thermal exposures in a heating block system, at various… Expand
Remating by female Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata, Diptera: Tephritidae): temporal patterns and modulation by male condition.
- Sagi Gavriel, Y. Gazit, B. Yuval
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of insect physiology
- 1 July 2009
We determined the temporal pattern of female remating in the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, and how mating with sterile males affects remating. In addition, we examined the hypotheses… Expand
Evaluation of Entomopathogenic Nematodes for the Control of Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
- Y. Gazit, Y. Rossler, I. Glazer
- Biology
- 1 April 2000
The virulence of various entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) strains was evaluated against the Mediterranean fruit fly, C. capitata . The selected nematodes were assessed for their infectivity for the… Expand
Bacterially enriched diet improves sexual performance of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies
- Sagi Gavriel, E. Jurkevitch, Y. Gazit, B. Yuval
- Biology
- 1 August 2011
The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), (medfly) is a polyphagous and cosmopolitan agricultural pest, targeted in many areas for control by the Sterile… Expand
Spatial patterns of sterile Mediterranean fruit fly dispersal
- Sagi Gavriel, Y. Gazit, A. Leach, J. D. Mumford, B. Yuval
- Biology
- 1 January 2012
The success of the sterile insect technique (SIT) for the control of the Mediterranean fruit fly or medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), depends largely on the ability of… Expand
Effect of synthetic pban and derived peptides on sex pheromone biosynthesis in Heliothis peltigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
- Y. Gazit, E. Dunkelblum, Marina Benichis, M. Altstein
- Biology
- 1990
Abstract The activity of synthetic Heliothis zea PBAN (Hez-PBAN) and four shorter peptides on the sex pheromone biosynthesis in Heliothis peltigera was investigated in order to characterize their… Expand
Arrestment ofTelenomus remus(Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) by a Kairomone Associated with Eggs of Its Host,Spodoptera frugiperda(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
- Y. Gazit, W. Lewis, J. Tumlinson
- Biology
- 1 April 1996
Telenomus remus Nixon females, but not males, were arrested after contacting a kairomone(s) extracted from eggs of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). Bioassays were used to characterize the… Expand
Effect of diet on survival, in the laboratory and the field, of sterile male Mediterranean fruit flies
- Sagi Gavriel, Y. Gazit, B. Yuval
- Biology
- 1 April 2010
To improve the effectiveness of the sterile insect technique against the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), our objectives in this study were two‐fold.… Expand
Developing a learning mechanism for a spatial decision support system for medfly control in citrus.
- A. Cohen, Y. Cohen, +5 authors J. Stafford
- Engineering
- 1 July 2008
A spatial decision support system (SDSS), designated MedCila was developed for controlling Medfly on citrus in Israel. The development involved four main phases: (1) acquisition of relevant expert… Expand
