Journal ArticleDOI
Wolbachia pipientis Associated With Tephritid Fruit Fly Pests: From Basic Research to Applications.
Mariana Mateos,Humberto Martinez Montoya,Silvia Beatriz Lanzavecchia,Claudia Alejandra Conte,Karina Guillen,Brenda M. Morán-Aceves,Jorge Toledo,Pablo Liedo,Elias Asimakis,Vangelis Doudoumis,Georgios A. Kyritsis,Nikos T. Papadopoulos,Antonios A. Augustinos,Diego Fernando Segura,George Tsiamis +14 more
TL;DR: Based on recent methodological advances and breakthroughs concerning the mechanistic basis of CI, it is suggested research avenues that could accelerate generation of necessary knowledge for the potential use of Wolbachia-based IIT in area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) strategies for the population control of tephritid pests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rearing of the fruit fly parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on X-ray irradiated larvae of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Mariana M. Viscarret,Claudia Alejandra Conte,Leonela Zusel Carabajal Paladino,Silvia N. López,Diego Fernando Segura,Irina Muntaabski,Silvia Beatriz Lanzavecchia,Jorge Luis Cladera +7 more
TL;DR: The results show that X-ray irradiation can be used to inhibit fruit fly adult emergence and that irradiated larvae are at least as good a rearing substrate as non-irradiated larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut bacterial diversity and physiological traits of Anastrepha fraterculus Brazilian-1 morphotype males are affected by antibiotic treatment.
María Laura Juárez,María Laura Juárez,Lida E. Pimper,Guillermo Enrique Bachmann,Guillermo Enrique Bachmann,Claudia Alejandra Conte,María Josefina Ruiz,María Josefina Ruiz,L. Goane,L. Goane,Pilar Medina Pereyra,Felipe Nalon Castro,Julieta Salgueiro,Jorge Luis Cladera,P. Fernández,P. Fernández,Kostas Bourtzis,Silvia Beatriz Lanzavecchia,M. T. Vera,M. T. Vera,Diego Fernando Segura,Diego Fernando Segura +21 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that A. fraterculus males gut contain symbiotic organisms that are able to exert a positive contribution on A.fraterculus females’ fitness, although the physiological mechanisms still need further studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wolbachia infection in Argentinean populations of Anastrepha fraterculus sp1: preliminary evidence of sex ratio distortion by one of two strains
Claudia Alejandra Conte,Diego Fernando Segura,Fabian Horacio Milla,Antonios A. Augustinos,Jorge Luis Cladera,Kostas Bourtzis,Silvia Beatriz Lanzavecchia +6 more
TL;DR: Paired-crossing experiments among single infected laboratory strains showed a phenotype specifically associated to wAfraCast1_A that includes slight detrimental effects on larval survival, a female-biased sex ratio; suggesting the induction of male-killing phenomena, and a decreased proportion of females producing descendants that appears attributable to the lack of sperm in their spermathecae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of Apis mellifera colonies from Argentina: genotypic admixture associated with ecoclimatic regions and apicultural activities
Marcelo Nicolás Agra,Claudia Alejandra Conte,Pablo Marcelo Corva,Jorge Luis Cladera,Silvia Beatriz Lanzavecchia,María Alejandra Palacio +5 more
TL;DR: A high level of hybridization between Africanized and European honeybees was detected with a significant latitudinal cline from north to south, resulting in the definition of four clusters that included both feral and commercial colonies and that are explained not only by geographical distribution and degree of Africanization but also by human influence through beekeeping activities.
