Cultivated: Only cultivated. Field Infestation: McBride and Tanada 1949: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes (listed both as Brassica caulorapa [DC.] Pasq. and as kohlrabi) was collected by Y. Tanada from a garden located on Beretania Street in Honolulu, Hawaii. Stems collected were firm and had several deep cracks extending from the bases of leaves part way down the sides of the enlarged portion. From 3 fully enlarged stems, 31 B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) and 6 scavenger flies, Atherigona excisa (Thomson), emerged. Authors listed Brassica oleracea L. var. gongylodes as a plant that was rarely injured. Ranganath et al. 1999: Andaman Island, India In field trials, B. cucurbitae adults were found ovipositing in cracks developed on the stems of B. oleracea var. gongylodes (listed as Brassica caulorapa), and in weaker surfaces of the stems. Damaged B. oleracea var. gongylodes stems were brought to the laboratory and placed over sand in a container to facilitate pupation and adult emergence of any infesting tephritid fruit flies. Adult B. cucurbitae flies were recovered.

Field Infestation: + Back and Pemberton 1918: Honolulu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya (listed as papaya) is listed as “ occasionally infested ” by B. cucurbitae. The authors state that adult melon flies have been reared from papaya, but that papaya does not serve regularly as a host; that it is attacked by melon fly only in rare instances, and then only slightly. + Couey et al. 1984: Hilo and Kona District, Hawaii Island, Hawaii, U. S. A. From March 1979 to August 1981, 2,723 one-half ripe C. papaya fruits (1,350.5 kg) and 2,390 ripe C. papaya fruits (1,121.7 kg) (listed as papaya) were collected from picking bins at a Hilo area packing house. Fruits were held at ambient temperature (19 – 24 ° C) for 4 weeks in wood and screen trays over sand in fiberglass holding boxes. Pupae were removed from the sand and held for adult emergence and species identificaton. Recovery was 4,366 pupae from one-half ripe papayas and 61,592 pupae from ripe papayas of which 3.1 % (135) and 7.1 % (4,373) were B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae), respectively (0.100 and 3.90 pupae / kg fruit, respectively). Over 90 % of the recovered pupae at both ripeness stages were B. dorsalis (listed as Dacus dorsalis). From May to July, 1979, 330 one-half ripe papayas (135.8 kg) and 33 ripe papaya (146.4 kg) were collected in fields in the Kona District and held as described above. Recovery was 6 pupae from one-half ripe papayas and 2,964 pupae from ripe papayas of which 0.0 % (0) and 0.1 % (1) were B. cucurbitae, respectively (0.0 and 0.0068 pupae / kg fruit, respectively). Over 99 % of the recovered pupae at both ripeness stages were B. dorsalis. Liquido et al. 1989: Maui and Hawaii Islands, Hawaii, U. S. A. Ripe C. papaya fruits (cv. ‘ Kapoho Solo’) were collected from the tree and from the ground from ten locations on the Island of Maui (1949 – 1952) and from nine locations on Hawaii Island (1950 – 1981). Fruits were held over sand in fiberglass boxes. The sand was sieved to recover pupariating larvae and pupae which were then transferred to 0.25 liter jars containing sand and held for adult emergence. Out of 303 fruits collected on the Island of Maui, no B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were recovered, while 0.02 B. cucurbitae per fruit were recovered from 3,107 fruits collected on Hawai Island. Kealakekua, Hawaii island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya fruits of four to five ripeness categories were randomly collected weekly from May to July 1979 and monthly from September 1979 to April 1980 from orchards in lower Kealakekua and held similarly to the methods described above. Fruits were held separately by ripeness category (mature green, color break, one-fourth-ripe, half-ripe and fully ripe). From the weekly samples, no B. cucurbitae was recovered from 300 mature green fruits, 300 one-fourth-ripe fruits or from 300 half-ripe fruits, while 0.003 flies per fruit were recovered from 300 fully ripe fruits. From the monthly samples, no B. cucurbitae was recovered from 247 mature green fruits, 89 color break fruits, 267 onefourth-ripe fruits, 254 half-ripe fruits or from 292 fully ripe fruits. Puna, Hawaii island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya fruits of five ripeness categories (mature green, one-fourth-ripe, half- ripe, three-fourths-ripe and fully ripe) were collected biweekly from November 1985 to December 1986 in four papaya orchards in the District of Puna. Fruits were held over wheat bran media in plastic buckets. The bran medium was sieved to recover pupariating larvae and pupae which were transferred to 0.25 liter plastic cups containing sand and held for adult emergence. For mature green fruits, 5 of 1,669 were infested by B. cucurbitae, with averages of 0.23 % of fruits infested and an average of 0.020 B. cucurbitae per fruit. For one-fourth-ripe fruits, 8 of 2,092 were infested by B. cucurbitae, with averages of 0.325 % of fruits infested and an average of 0.011 B. cucurbitae per fruit. For half-ripe fruits, 23 of 1,536 were infested by B. cucurbitae, with averages of 1.35 % of fruits infested and an average of 0.78 B. cucurbitae per fruit. For three-fourths-ripe fruits, 86 of 1,367 were infested by B. cucurbitae, with averages of 4.49 % of fruits infested and an average of 0.67 B. cucurbitae per fruit. For fully ripe fruits, 248 of 1,352 were infested by B. cucurbitae, with averages of 12.96 % of fruits infested and an average of 2.26 B. cucurbitae per fruit. The maximum rates of infestation were found in the Nanawale papaya orchard where percentages were 0.92, 0.79, 3.78, 14.23, and 35.21 % in the five fruit ripeness categories, respectively. Liquido 1990: Puna, Hawaii island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya cv. ‘ Kapoho Solo’ fruits of three maturity classes were collected from 1.5 – 2 - year-old trees in two orchards in Puna from June 1987 to April 1989 to assess the effect of morphological defects in the blossom end of C. papaya fruits on infestation rates by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). The condition of the blossom end of the fruit was noted for each collected fruit (normal, pinhole or navel [resembling the blossom end of navel oranges]). Collected fruits were held for the assessment of infestation by tephritid fruit flies as described above in Liquido et al. 1989. Among mature green to color-break fruits, only 1 normal fruit (out of 3,048 fruits; 0.033 %) was infested by B. cucurbitae, while no fruits with aberrant blossom ends were infested (582 small pinhole fruits, 65 large pinhole fruits and 17 navel fruits). Among quarter- to half-ripe fruits, 12 normal fruits (out of 1,547 fruits; 0.78 %) and 3 small pinhole fruits (out of 454 fruits; 0.66 %) were infested while no infestation was found in large pinhole fruits (out of 45) or navel fruits (out of 7). Among three-quarters-ripe to fully ripe fruits, 26 normal fruits (out of 735 fruits; 3.5 %), 2 small pinhole fruits (out of 187 fruits; 1.1 %) and 1 large pinhole fruit (out of 35 fruits; 2.9 %) were infested while no navel fruits (out of 7) were infested. Liquido 1991 a: Kalapana, Hawaii island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya cv. ‘ Kapoho Solo’ fruits of three maturity classes, as well as fully ripe fruit on trees versus on the ground, were collected from an orchard in Kalapana to assess the effect of fruit ripeness and location (fully ripe fruits on trees versus on the ground) on parasitization of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) by braconid parasitoids. Fruits were held over wheat bran media in plastic buckets. The bran medium was sieved to recover pupariating larvae and pupae which were transferred to 0.25 liter plastic cups containing sand and held for adult emergence. The number of B. cucurbitae per fruit averaged (by month of collection) 0.002 (range: 0.0 – 0.02), 0.04 (range: 0.0 – 0.47), 0.39 (range: 0.0 – 3.06), and 19.82 (range: 8.62 – 36.59) in mature green to color break fruits, quarter- to half-ripe fruits, fully ripe tree fruits and fully ripe ground fruits, respectively. Liquido 1991 b: Kalapana, Hawaii island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Three-quarters-ripe to fully ripe, tree and ground C. papaya cv. ‘ Kapoho Solo’ fruits were collected weekly between August 1988 and May 1990 from a papaya orchard in Kalapana. Fruits were held over wheat bran media in plastic buckets. The bran medium was sieved to recover pupariating larvae and pupae which were transferred to 0.25 liter plastic cups containing sand and held for adult emergence. The density (by month) per fruit of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in fruits on the ground and in trees ranged from 5.80 to 44.79 and from 0.0 to 1.44, respectively. Average infestation rates (by month) in fruits on the ground and in trees ranged between 36 and 83 %, and between 0.0 and 9.0 %, respectively. Liquido 1991 c: Moloaa, Island of Kauai, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya cv. ‘ Waimanalo’ fruits of six visual ripeness categories were collected weekly from January 1988 to September 1990 from a papaya orchard in Moloaa, Island of Kauai. Fruits were held over wheat bran media in plastic buckets. The bran medium was sieved to recover pupariating larvae and pupae which were transferred to 0.25 liter plastic cups containing sand and held for adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation was observed only in 3 fully ripe fruits (out of 367 fruits; 0.82 %). One (1) fruit in May 1990 had 2 B. cucurbitae larvae and 2 fruits in September 1990 each had 3 B. cucurbitae larvae. No B. cucurbitae infestation was found in mature green (585 fruits), color break (174), quarter-ripe (154), half-ripe (187) or three-quarters-ripe (410) fruits. Liquido and Cunningham 1990: Puna, Hawaii island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Carica papaya cv. ‘ Kapoho’ fruits of six visual ripeness categories (mature green, color-turning, one-fourth-ripe, half-ripe, three-fourths-ripe and fully ripe) were collected biweekly from September 1985 to July 1988 from five papaya orchards in the District of Puna to determine the relationship between colorimetric quantitative ripeness indices and rates of infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Hunter LabScan Spectrocolorimeter readings for all fruits were taken for the blossom end and for the most yellow spot on the fruit. Fruits were held over wheat bran media in plastic buckets. The bran medium was sieved to recover pupariating larvae and pupae which were transferred to 0.25 liter plastic cups containing sand and held for adult emergence. For fruits where the blossom end b value (Bb) was ≤ 23.4 and the most yellow spot b value (Yb) was ≤ 27.4, 8 of 6,877 fruits (0.12 %) were infested by B. cucurbitae. When Bb ≤ 23.4 and Yb ≥ 27.5, 5 of 823 fruits (0.61 %). When Bb ≥ 23.5 and Yb ≤ 27.4, 3 of 780 fruits (0.38 %) were infested. When Bb ≥ 23.5 and Yb ≥ 27.5, 324 of 6,713 fruits (4.8 %) were infested. It was concluded that B. cucurbitae can infest papaya fruits at all levels of maturity or ripeness as measured by Bb and Yb values of the fruits. McBride and Tanada 1949: Kailua, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. C. B. Keck observed Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) ovipositing in a small, ripe C. papaya fruit in Kailua, on the Island of Oahu, on 28 August 1946. The fruit was placed over sand in a cage and 55 melon flies were recovered. The authors listed C. papaya as a fruit that is rarely injured. McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 2,906 C. papaya fruits were collected (95 collections overall) from four islands / island groups (Amami, Miyako, Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 9 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in each of the islands / island groups) of 0.31 %. Mwatawala et al. 2009 a: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Mature C. papaya fruits were randomly collected at regular intervals between October 2004 and October 2006 from areas within the Sokoine University of Agriculture campus in Morogoro and from Nyandira, Mikese, Mkindo in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. One (1) of 11 (9.09 %) C. papaya samples (6.51 kg) was infested by B. cucurbitae. Mwatawala et al. 2009 b: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Carica papaya fruits were randomly collected weekly between October 2004 to October 2006 and between August to December, 2007 from areas within the Sokoine University of Agriculture campus in Morogoro and from Nyandira, Mikese, Mkindo in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. Out of 43 collected fruits (13.462 kg), infestation by B. cucurbitae averaged 0.15 emerged adults per kg fruit. Mwatawala et al. 2010: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Ninety-nine (99) mature C. papaya fruits (28.663 kg) were collected at irregular intervals between October 2004 and April 2008, from the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupariation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified.

Nishida 1955: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Infested C. papaya fruits, with nearly full grown B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) larvae, were collected at cultivated areas in the Waimanalo area on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii between 1950 and 1951. Larvae were extracted from fruits and placed in small wax paper cups containing pumpkin pulp. The cups were placed on sand in jars in which a high humidity was maintained. Nine hundred and one (901) B. cucurbitae larvae were recovered from the fruits. Number of fruits and infestation rate data not given. + Nishida and Haramoto 1953: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Twenty-one (21) C. papaya fruits (listed as papaya) were collected from three sites (Waianae, Manoa Valley, Waimanalo) on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii where adult flies of both B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) and B. dorsalis (listed as D. dorsalis) were known to be present. Fruits were held in containers until adult emergence. On average, 42.0 % of tephritids recovered were B. cucurbitae with an average recovery of 44.9 B. cucurbitae per fruit (range: 0 – 215). Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Tephritid fruit fly puparia were recovered from field-infested C. papaya fruits (listed as papaya), separated by species (B. cucurbitae [listed as Dacus cucurbitae] and B. dorsalis [listed as Dacus dorsalis]), and held for adult emergence. Out of 221 adult tephritids that emerged, 33 were B. cucurbitae and 188 were B. dorsalis.

Taxonomic identification was done by entomologists of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, USDA. Lab Infestation: Arévalo-Galarza and Follett 2011: Two (2) half- to three-quarters-ripe C. papaya fruits were placed inside a screen cage with 50 gravid female B. cucurbitae for 6 hours, after which the infested fruits were removed from the cage and held over sand for 2 weeks for pupariation and adult eclosion (three replications). An average of 264 B. cucurbitae pupae was recovered from the C. papaya fruits. In a second study, 2 half- to three-quarters-ripe papaya fruits were placed inside a screen cage with 50 gravid female B. cucurbitae for 24 hours, after which the infested fruits were removed from the cage and held over sand for 2 weeks for pupariation and adult eclosion (three replications as a control for egg stage quarantine treatment tests and three replications as a control for 1 st instar stage quarantine treatment tests). Averages of 218.8 ± 62.8 and 106.7 ± 24.7 pupae per fruit were recovered from the control fruits for the egg test and the 1 st instar test, respectively. Armstrong et al. 1989: Color break to half-ripe C. papaya fruits (variety ‘ Solo’) were artificially infested by three different developmental stages (egg, 1 st instar, and 3 rd instar) of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Approximately one hundred fifty (150) 1 – 18 - h-old eggs were inserted under a plug taken from the papaya fruit (egg stage [12 replications]; fruits held 24 h after infestation to get 1 st instar stage [9 replications]), while approximately one hundred (100) 3 rd instars reared from eggs placed on larval diet were placed under the plug for the 3 rd instar stage tests [18 replications]). Infested fruits were placed on trays with dry larval rearing diet and held for 2 weeks. Recovered pupae were held for adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae recovery was 33,122 adults from 65.96 kg of C. papaya fruits (502.2 adults / kg fruit) [egg stage tests]; 33,491 adults from 63.15 kg of C. papaya fruits (530.3 adults / kg fruit) [1 st instar tests]; and 25,981 adults from 101.64 kg of C. papaya fruits (255.6 adults / kg fruit) [3 rd instar tests].

Back and Pemberton 1914: Eleven (11) B. cucurbitae larvae were able to complete instars one – three on C. papaya, transferred from one piece of pulp to a fresh piece of pulp, in an average time of 4 days and 12.8 hours at an average temperature of 25.8 ° C. + Back and Pemberton 1917: Twelve (12) B. cucurbitae larvae were able to complete instars one – three on C. papaya (listed as papaya), transferred daily from one piece of pulp to a fresh piece of pulp, in an average time of 4 days and 10.9 hours at an average temperature of 25.8 ° C. Carey et al. 1985: Fifty (50) newly hatched 1 st generation B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (four replications) were added to a small portion of C. papaya fruit and held at 25 (± 2.0) ° C and 60.0 (± 6.0) % RH in a covered Petri plate, with additional host material added as needed. When some of the larvae approached maturity, the Petri plate was opened and placed in sand in a larger container to allow for pupation. The sand was then sifted daily to recover pupae which were held at the same conditions of temperature and relative humidity. On average, 85 % of the larvae survived to adult emergence, with an average larval to adult development time of 18.7 days. Chawla 1966: In captivity, female B. cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) laid eggs on cut fruits of C. papaya. The eggs hatched and larval development proceeded normally through adult emergence. + Couey and Hayes 1986: Carica papaya fruits (listed as papaya) were harvested at early color stages to minimize natural infestation, then held for 2 to 3 days under fly-free conditions. Sevety-five (75) fruits (41.8 kg) were exposed to ca. 15,000 adult B. cucurbitae flies (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (~ 1 / 2 gravid females) for 24 h. The control fruits were held for 2 weeks in a cabinet on fruit fly rearing diet with sand at the bottom, from which 18,308 pupae (438.0 pupae / kg fruit) were recovered. + Couey et al. 1984: An unspecified number of C. papaya fruits (listed as papaya), of unspecified maturity level, weighing 164.4 kg, was exposed to gravid B. cucurbitae females (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) for 24 hours.

Recovery was 30,554 pupae for an infestation rate of 185.9 B. cucurbitae per kg fruit. Dong et al. 2011: Infestation was tested for mature green, 1 – 2 - yellow-stripe, 2 – 3 - yellow-stripe, 5 - yellow- stripe, and mature yellow (fully ripe) C. papaya fruits var. ‘ Tainung No. 2 ’, and mature green, quarter-, half-, and mature-yellow fruits of C. papaya var. ‘ Sunrise’. In separate screen cages, three adult fly densities (5, 10, and 20 pairs) were introduced to individual fruits with results replicated 10 or 15 times. In variety ‘ Tainung No. 2, ’ there was 33.3 % infestation in 5 - yellow-stripe fruits infested by 20 pairs (8.9 ± 14.0 [standard error] eggs per fruit); 33.3 % infestation in mature-yellow fruits (37.8 ± 70.5 eggs per fruit). No infestation was observed for other ripeness categories and fly introduction densities. In variety ‘ Sunrise ’, there was 6.7 % infestation in quarter-yellow fruits infested by 20 pairs (5.4 ± 20.9 eggs per fruit); 33.3 % infestation in half-yellow fruits infested by 20 pairs (16.3 ± 36.2 eggs per fruit); 20.0 % (20.1 ± 46.9), 40.0 % (83.4 ± 131.6), and 40.0 % (112.9 ± 242.0) infestation (eggs per fruit) in mature-yellow fruits for fruits infested by 5, 10, and 20 pairs respectively. No infestation was observed for other ripeness categories and fly introduction densities. Follett et al. 2009: Five (5) C. papaya cv. “ Rainbow ” fruits (average of 327.9 g), each force-infested by 50 gravid female B. cucurbitae in an outdoor screen cage for 6 hours, yielded an average (± SEM) of 546.6 (± 150.6) puparia, equivalent to 1710 (± 520) pupae / kg fruit, with 61.2 % (± 7.7 %) adult emergence from the puparia. Follett et al. 2011: One ripe C. papaya cv. ‘ Rainbow’ fruit (average weight 297.5 g) was exposed to 50 gravid B. cucurbitae adults flies in an outdoor screen cage for 6 hours, then held for recovery of puparia and adult emergence (eight replicates). An average of 451.6 puparia (1,440 puparia / kg fruit) was recovered, with an average of 81.5 % adult emergence. Follett and Zee 2011: One (1) ripe C. papaya cv. ‘ Rainbow’ fruit (373.7 g) was exposed to 25 gravid female B. cucurbitae adults in an outdoor screen cage for 24 hours, then held for recovery of puparia and adult emergence. Five hundred sixty-eight (568) puparia (1,520 puparia / kg fruit) were recovered, and 402 (70.8 %) adults emerged (1,076 adults / kg fruit). Harris and Bautista 1996: For a laboratory study of parasitization by Fopius arisanus (listed as Biosteres arisanus), clutches of 110 B. cucurbitae eggs (3 – 4 hours old) were inserted in each of ten holes (4 – 5 mm deep) perforated into the fruit surface of C. papaya fruits trimmed into sections (8 x 3 x 1 cm) (a total of 1,100 eggs per fruit section), with seven replications. Inoculated fruits were exposed to 50 male and 50 female 21 - day-old F. arisanus adults for 24 hours. Samples of 100 eggs were then removed from each fruit section to check for incidence of parasitization. Fruit sections (with 1,000 eggs) were placed in plastic cups containing about 150 g wheat diet and held for 15 days after which pupae were recovered. Pupae were then held until adult emergence of B. cucurbitae and parasitoids. On average, 44.7 % (and as high as 81 %) of the B. cucurbitae eggs developed to emerge as adults. McQuate et al. 2015: Thirty-three (33) C. papaya fruits (17.07 kg) were individually held in 26.5 x 26.5 x 26.5 cm cubical screened cages for 24 hours with 50 gravid female B. cucurbitae flies. Following exposure to flies, fruits were transferred individually onto sand in 5 liter screen-topped plastic buckets. Two (2) weeks later, sand from the buckets was sieved and fruits cut open to recover all pupariating larvae and pupae, which were then held on sand in screened-topped cups until adult emergence. All 33 fruits (100 %) were infested by B. cucurbitae, with an overall infestation rate of 409.8 pupae / kg fruit and 288.8 adults per kg fruit. Ponce 1937: Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was reared in the laboratory on C. papaya fruit. At a mean temperature of 29.15 ° C, the overall larval period lasted 5.0 days, based on “ three cultures ” (replications). Rajamannar 1962: Using B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) 1 st instar larvae obtained from eggs oviposited on bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria; listed as L. vulgaris), 56 of 100 (56 %) 1 st instar larvae raised on C. papaya (listed as papaya) fruit pupated, with an average time to pupation of 6.6 days. In a separate test, 98 of 100 (98 %) 1 st instar larvae were found to feed on pieces of C. papaya fruit (an average of 19.6 out of 20 larvae, based on five replicated trials). + Seo et al. 1973: Carica papaya fruits (listed as papaya) were infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) by exposing fruits to about 50,000 adults for 3 days in an outdoor cage. Twenty-five percent of the exposed fruits were placed in holding boxes and held at 16 – 31 ° C. Surviving pupae were collected and counted. A high number of pupae was recovered and was used to estimate the number of pupae that would have been expected to be present in fruits subjected to irradiation. No infestation rate given. Tsatsia and Hollingsworth 1997: Various numbers of B. cucurbitae eggs were added to either whole or sections of C. papaya fruits. Fruits were held over sterilized sawdust from which pupae were obtained. Pupae were obtained from each of the 6 C. papaya fruits that were infested, with no dead larvae observed. On average, about 331 pupae were recovered per kg fruit (range: 122 – 873). Vargas and Carey 1990: One hundred (100) B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) eggs, placed on moist blotting paper, were placed on 40 g pieces of fresh C. papaya fruits (12 replications). Fruit was replaced as needed. Mature larvae were placed in plastic cups holding vermiculite as a pupation medium. Pupae were recovered after 8 days and held in plastic cups until eclosion. Emerged adults were used in studies to document survival and demographic parameters for B. cucurbitae. Duration of the B. cucurbitae larval stage on C. papaya fruit (at 24 ± 2 ° C, 50 ± 10 % RH and a photoperiod of 12: 12 [L: D] h) averaged 3.8 ± 0.3 days. Vargas et al. 2000: One hundred (100) B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) eggs, placed on moist blotting paper, were placed on 250 g pieces of fresh C. papaya fruits (12 replications). Mature larvae were placed in plastic cups holding vermiculite as a pupation medium. Two (2) days before expected adult emergence, pupae were recovered and held in plastic cups until eclosion. Emerged adults were used in studies to document survival and demographic parameters for B. cucurbitae at alternating temperatures. Duration of the B. cucurbitae larval stage on C. papaya fruit (at 60 ± 10 % RH and a photoperiod of 12: 12 [L: D] h) averaged 9.1 ± 0.44 (24 ° C max. day temperature: 13 ° C min. night temperature); 6.3 ± 0.13 (24: 24); 6.2 ± 0.11 (29: 18); and 4.9 ± 0.15 (35: 24) days.

Hancock. + Gupta and Verma 1978: Hisar (listed as Hissar), State of Haryana, India Citrullus lanatus (listed as watermelon) was grown from seed planted 28 February 1975, in a randomized complete block design with ten other cucurbit crops in Hisar, Haryana State, India. Fallen and marketable sized fruits were collected / picked every 3 days and assessed for infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Infestation results were summarized weekly. Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation was found in 4 of 5 weekly summaries (80 %). Overall, 39 (154.5 kg) fruits were collected, of which 10 were infested, for averages of 7.8 fruits collected per week with an average infestation rate of 24.2 %. Haldhar et al. 2015 b: Bikaner, State of Rajasthan, India Twenty-seven (27) varieties / genotypes of C. lanatus were sown in the summer 2012 in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the experimental farm of the Central Institute for Arid Horticulture in Bikaner, India. Fruits randomly selected at three pickings over the course of the growing season were used to calculate percentage infestation and to count the number of B. cucurbitae larvae in infested fruits. Percentage fruit infestation averaged 43.75 % (range: 12.6 – 66.9 %) while B. cucurbitae larval density averaged 15.32 larvae / fruit (range: 9.97 – 19.10 larvae / fruit) across all 27 varieties / genotypes. Fifteen (15) varieties / genotypes of C. lanatus, selected from those used in the 2012 trial, were sown, both in July 2013 and February 2014, in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the experimental farm of the Central Institute for Arid Horticulture in Bikaner, India. Fruits randomly selected at three pickings over the course of the growing seasons were used to calculate percentage infestation and to count the number of B. cucurbitae larvae in infested fruits. Percentage fruit infestation, averaged across both growing seasons, was 38.59 % (range: 12.73 – 67.37 %) while B. cucurbitae larval density averaged 14.56 larvae / fruit (range: 10.2 – 19.2 larvae / fruit) across all 15 varieties / genotypes. + Harris et al. 1986: Island of Kauai, Hawaii, U. S. A. Two (2) collections of C. lanatus fruits (0.771 kg) (listed as watermelon) were made on the Island of Kauai, Hawaii, between July 1980 and September 1982, with fruits held over moist sand for assessment of infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Two hundred thirty-five (235) B. cucurbitae flies were recovered (304.8 flies / kg fruit). Hollingsworth et al. 2003: Solomon Islands From June 1994 to June 1998, C. lanatus fruits were collected from up to seven provinces of the Solomon Islands (Central, Choiseul, Guadalcanal, Isabel, Malaita, Temotu, Western). Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered from 1 of 8 samples (12.5 %). Forty-two (42) B. cucurbitae flies were recovered from 12 fruits (10.77 kg) for overall infestation rates of 3.5 flies per fruit and 3.9 flies / kg fruit. Jacquard et al. 2013: Réunion Island, France Bactrocera cucurbitae- infested C. lanatus fruits were collected from “ Location 8 ” on Réunion Island from January to April 2009 and held over sand. Puparia, recovered by sifting the sand, were held for adult emergence. Nineteen (19) adult B. cucurbitae were recovered. Jakhar and Pareek 2005: Jobner, State of Rajasthan, India Seeds of nine cucurbit species were sown in a randomized block design with four replications at the Horticultural Farm of S. K. N. College of Agriculture in Jobner, India during the kharif season in 2000. The infestation rate of C. lanatus cv. ‘ Mateera ’ fruits, by B. cucurbitae averaged 19.85 % (range: 14.43 – 29.16 %) over the course of five collection dates, each 3 days apart, in September 2000. Khandelwal and Nath 1979: Jobner, State of Rajasthan, India Five trials on the relative resistance or susceptibility of 94 cultivars of C. lanatus to infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were tested under natural conditions in Jobner India from 1967 to 1968 over both the summer season and the rainy season. Twenty (20) plants of each cultivar were planted in single rows in three trials while cultivars were set out in a randomized block design, with three replications, in two trials. The fields were bordered by a trap crop of Lagenaria siceraria to maintain sufficient fruit fly population. The maximum damage rate by B. cucurbitae averaged 68.4 % across all 94 cultivars. Two cultivars were found to be “ resistant ” (11 – 25 % fruits damaged), 6 were “ medium resistant ” (26 – 50 %), 65 were “ susceptible ” (51 – 75 %), and 4 were “ highly susceptible ” (76 – 100 %). None of the cultivars was found to be completely free from damage by the melon fly. Leblanc et al. 2012: Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands Citrullus lanatus fruits were collected between 1997 to 2000 in PNG and between 1994 to 1999 in the Solomon Islands and held in plastic containers over finely sieved sawdust that had been sterilized in an oven or frozen overnight to kill mites. The sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly puparia. Puparia were kept in moist sawdust until adult emergence. Adults were fed for 5 days, then killed by freezing to allow colors and markings, necessary for correct species identification, to fully develop. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 4 of 21 (19.0 %) samples in PNG and in 2 of 12 (16.7 %) samples in the Solomon Islands. Leblanc et al. 2013 a: Papua New Guinea (PNG), Solomon Islands Citrullus lanatus fruits were collected between 1997 to 2000 in PNG (104 fruits; 54.55 kg) and between 1994 to 1999 in the Solomon Islands (18 fruits; 16.39 kg) and held in plastic containers over finely sieved sawdust that had been sterilized in an oven or frozen overnight to kill mites. The sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly puparia. Puparia were kept in moist sawdust until adult emergence. Adults were fed for 5 days, then killed by freezing to allow colors and markings, necessary for correct species identification, to fully develop. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 4 of 21 (19.0 %) samples in PNG, with an overall infestation rate of 5.72 flies / kg fruit and 39.34 flies / kg infested fruit. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 2 of 12 (16.7 %) samples in the Solomon Islands with an overall infestation rate of 3.60 flies / kg fruit and 9.83 flies / kg infested fruit. + Lee 1972: Taiwan Citrullus lanatus plants (listed as water melon) were grown in the field year-round from 2 June 1969 to 10 June 1970 and from March to August, 1971. Fruits, picked 5, 10, and 15 days after flowering, were placed over sand in holding boxes. The sand was screened weekly to recover B. cucurbitae pupae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Pupal recovery per fruit was averaged quarterly for 1969 to 1970 harvests. Pupal recovery per kg fruit was averaged monthly for 1971 harvests. Bactrocera cucurbitae pupal recovery averaged 6.8, 4.5, and 17.8 pupae / fruit (1969 – 1970) and 97.9, 15.6 and 11.9 pupae / kg fruit (1971) overall, for fruits picked 5, 10, and 15 days after flowering, repectively. McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 4,346 C. lanatus fruits were collected (35 collections overall) from four islands / island groups (Amami, Miyako, Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 144 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in each of the islands / island groups) of 10.3 %. Modjonnesso et al. 2012: Lomé, Togo Between June 2008 and February 2009, 27 C. lanatus fruits with evidence of infestation by tephritid fruit flies were collected in Lomé, Togo and held in a laboratory for assessment of infestation.

Bactrocera cucurbitae flies were recovered from 31 of 47 collections (65.96 %), with an overall infestation rate of 23.31 flies / kg fruit and 37.25 flies / kg infested fruit. Mwatawala et al. 2015: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Citrullus lanatus, Cucurbita sp. (“ pumpkin ”), and Cucumis sativus were directly sown both in mono-cropped plots and in plots where all three crops were “ haphazardly mixed both within and between lines. ” Two plots of each type were planted in each of three seasons: March through June 2013, October through December 2013, and April through July 2014. Planting dates for each crop species were adjusted based on days to flowering in order to synchronize fruit setting. Fruits in all plots were subject to natural infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Zeugodacus cucurbitae). At each sampling date, fruits of each species were randomly harvested from each plot and held in rearing containers containing sterilized sand as a pupation medium. Pupae were removed and held in Petri dishes with moist filter paper within emergence containers until adult emergence. From the mono-cropped C. lanatus plots, 73.3 % of fruits were infested by B. cucurbitae with an average infestation rate of 226.13 flies / kg fruit (out of 1.11 kg fruits).

During the time that these observations were made, C. grandis fruits were present in great abundance and were heavily infested by both fruit fly species. Clausen et al. 1965: South India From C. grandis collections (listed as Coccinea indica) from May 1950 to January 1951 in South India, 54,254 puparia were recovered, a mix of two predominant species: Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae Coq) and Dacus ciliatus Loew (ratio not stated). Chinajariyawong et al. 2000: Thailand Bactrocera cucurbitae was reared from 41 samples of C. grandis collected in Thailand. No infestation rate data were given. Clarke et al. 2001: Thailand Eight thousand eight hundred forty-four (8,844) (108.6 kg) infested C. grandis fruits were collected in Thailand from 1986 to 1994. Five regions of Thailand (Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Surat Thani, Songhkla) recorded infestation rates of 0.73, 1.6, 1.3, 3.3, and 2.2 B. cucurbitae per infested fruit and 69.0, 106.1, 125.2, 228.4 and 164.8 B. cucurbitae per kg infested fruits, respectively. Bactrocera cucurbitae were identified by either R. A. I. Drew or D. L. Hancock. Harris et al. 2010: Kahuku, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. In a study assessing the effect of parasitoid releases in suppressing B. cucurbitae populations, C. grandis fruits were collected weekly in 2003, 2004, and 2005 from a wild habitat adjacent to a commercial papaya orchard in Kahuku, Hawaii (control site). Fruits were held to monitor fruit infestation and parasitism rates. Overall melon fly recovery in Kahuku from C. grandis fruits averaged 9.34 B. cucurbitae pupae / kg fruit, of which 5.77 per kg fruit emerged as adults. Total numbers of fruit collected and total fruit weight were not reported. Hollingsworth et al. 1996: Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands From April to September 1996, C. grandis fruits were collected every 2 weeks at seven sites in the Honiara area of the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered from 28 of 53 collections (52.8 %). Five hundred sixty-nine (569) B. cucurbitae were recovered from the 547 fruits (5.932 kg) collected with overall infestation rates of 1.04 B. cucurbitae per fruit and 95.9 B. cucurbitae per kg fruit. Hollingsworth et al. 2003: Solomon Islands From June 1994 to June 1998, C. grandis fruits were collected from up to seven provinces of the Solomon Islands (Central, Choiseul, Guadalcanal, Isabel, Malaita, Temotu, Western). Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered from 2 of 11 samples (18.2 %). Forty-four (44) B. cucurbitae flies were recovered from 275 fruits (3.99 kg) for overall infestation rates of 0.16 flies per fruit and 11.0 flies / kg fruit. Jackson et al. 2003: Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Hawaii Island, U. S. A. Coccinia grandis fruits (mature red fruit if available, but at least with some red present) were collected in 1992 (five sites), 1993 (five sites) and 1994 (eight sites) near Kailua-Kona, Hawaii and held over sand in plastic cups for recovery of tephritid fruit flies. In 1992, 2,813 B. cucurbitae puparia (from which 1,906 adults emerged) were recovered from 748 fruits. Recovery was 83 puparia / kg fruit and 425 puparia / kg fruit in the November and December samplings, respectively. In 1993, B. cucurbitae puparia were recovered from 613 out of 1,592 collected fruits (38.5 %), with 612.4 B. cucurbitae puparia recovered per kg fruit and 564.4 adults recovered per kg fruit. In 1994, B. cucurbitae puparia were recovered from 1,859 out of 3,851 collected fruits (48.3 %), with 7.4 adults recovered per fruit and 14.7 adults recovered per infested fruit. Jacquard et al. 2013: Réunion Island, France Bactrocera cucurbitae- infested C. grandis fruits were collected from eight locations on Réunion Island in 2009 and held over sand. Puparia, recovered by sifting the sand, were held for adult emergence. Two hundred and eight (208) adult B. cucurbitae were recovered. Kittayapong et al. 2000: Thailand Coccinia grandis fruits (listed as Coccinia cordifolia) were collected throughout Thailand within the time period October 1995 through December 1998. Collections were placed over sawdust in a ventilated plastic container and brought back to the laboratory at Mahidol University in Bangkok. Both B. cucurbitae and B. tau sp. A were recovered from C. grandis fruits. Total number of fruits collected and infestation rate data were not given. Leblanc et al. 2012: Solomon Islands Coccinia grandis fruits (547 fruits; 7.53 kg) were collected during 1994 to 1999 in the Solomon Islands and held in plastic containers over finely sieved sawdust that had been sterilized in an oven or frozen overnight to kill mites. The sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly puparia. Puparia were kept in moist sawdust until adult emergence. Adults were fed for 5 days, then killed by freezing to allow colors and markings, necessary for correct species identification, to fully develop. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 9 of 22 (40.9 %) samples. Leblanc et al. 2013 a: Solomon Islands Coccinia grandis fruits were collected during 1994 to 1999 in the Solomon Islands and held in plastic containers over finely sieved sawdust that had been sterilized in an oven or frozen overnight to kill mites. The sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly puparia. Puparia were kept in moist sawdust until adult emergence. Adults were fed for 5 days, then killed by freezing to allow colors and markings, necessary for correct species identification, to fully develop. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 9 of 22 (40.9 %) samples, with an overall infestation rate of 42.76 flies / kg fruit and 101.58 flies / kg infested fruit. Liquido et al. 1994: Island of Hawaii, Hawaii, U. S. A. From July 1990 to October 1992, 313 (3.21 kg) ripe tree or ground C. grandis fruits were collected (through collections made once or twice a month) from several sites on the island of Hawaii, Hawaii. Fruits were weighed, counted, split into groups of 5 or 10, and held over sand in plastic buckets at 19 – 24 ° C until pupation (2 weeks). Bactrocera cucurbitae larvae and pupae were recovered from infested C. grandis fruits with an overall infestation rate of 1.48 larvae and pupae per fruit (144.55 larvae and pupae / kg fruit). Tsatsia and Hollingsworth 1997: Honiara, Guadalcanal Island, Solomon Islands A laboratory B. cucurbitae colony was established with about 100 adults obtained from wild Coccinia grandis fruits (listed as Coccinea grandis) collected in Honiara. The colony size was increased via whole fruit egging with both ripe and green fruits (if punctured first) of C. grandis. No infestation rate data were given. Tsuruta et al. 1997: Sri Lanka Five (5) adult B. cucurbitae were recovered from an unspecifed number of C. grandis fruits collected from the Meddegama area of Sri Lanka. No infestation rate data were given. Uchida et al. 1990: Hawaii, U. S. A. Ripe C. grandis fruits were collected from four sites on the Island of Oahu (Ewa, Kamilo Nui, Makiki, and Waimanalo) from December 1988 to April 1989 and from two sites on the Island of Hawaii (Kailua and Kalaoa) on 21 – 22 April 1989. Fruits were held in wooden frames with screen bottoms lined with newspaper, placed in fiberglass boxes with a layer of fine vermiculite on the bottom. Vermiculite was screened weekly with recovered larvae and pupae transferred to paper packages for adult emergence. Adult B. cucurbitae recoveries were 254.6 flies / kg fruit (Ewa; 84 fruits; 1.0959 kg), 73.0 flies / kg fruit (Kamilo Nui; 7 fruits; 0.0685 kg), 0.0 flies / kg fruit (Makiki; 3 fruits; 0.0775 kg), 54.5 flies / kg fruit (Waimanalo; 124 fruits; 2.1463 kg), 0.0 flies / kg fruit (Kailua; 36 fruits; 0.3799 kg), and 0.0 flies / kg fruit (Kalaoa; 7 fruits; 0.1156 kg). Vargas et al. 2000: Waimanalo, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Infested C. grandis fruits collected from Waimanalo were used to establish a laboratory colony of B. cucurbitae. Vargas et al. 2004: Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Approximately 100 three-fourths-ripe to fully ripe Coccinia grandis fruits were randomly collected monthly from each of ten patches of C. grandis from April 1996 to March 1997 in Kailua-Kona. Fruits were held in batches of 100 on a wood-framed metal screen inside a fiberglass holding box with screened ventilation holes on the sides and with sand on the bottom. Sand was sifted weekly to recover pupae which were held in screen-topped plastic containers until adult emergence. Additionally, 250 fruits were collected in April 1997 from each of four sites and were held individually in screened-top plastic cups. Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation rates in C. grandis were also recorded in cage studies where 100 field-collected naturally infested C. grandis fruits (90 – 100 % ripe) were introduced to cages to which 0 (control), 1, 2, or 3 grams of B. cucurbitae pupae parasitized by Psyttalia fletcheri (Silvestri) were subsequently added. Finally, infestation data were also recorded from wild C. grandis fruits from field sites where parasitoids were released and where no releases were made (control). From the initial field surveys, 32.4 % of the fruits were infested by B. cucurbitae, with a mean (± standard error) emergence of 2.05 ± 0.13 B. cucurbitae per fruit. Numbers of flies recovered ranged from 50 to 270 per kg fruit. In the cage studies, an average of 131.8 ± 19.4 B. cucurbitae adults was recovered per 100 fruits in the control treatment. In the field release trials, estimated B. cucurbitae adult emergence averaged 54.0 (range: 26 – 89) B. cucurbitae adults per kg fruit. Vayssières and Carel 1999: Réunion Island, France Wild Coccinia grandis fruits were collected over the course of a year from up to 70 localities on Réunion Island. Fruits with evidence of fruit fly infestation were held in individual containers, with recovered pupae held for adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae recovery averaged 1,006 (standard deviation = 1,061) adults per kg infested fruit. Interception Data: Defra 2008: India Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in North West United Kingdom from 4 boxes of Coccinia grandis originating in India. No infestation rate data were given.

Khan et al. 1992: Faisalabad, Pakistan During summer 1985 and spring 1986, C. melo var. ‘ Ravi, ’ was sown in a randomized complete block design to test for the relative effectiveness of toxicants and bait sprays for the control of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Sprays were initiated just after fruit set, and repeated in 10 - day intervals for a total of four sprays. Before each spray, healthy and fly-infested fruits were counted in the control and all spray plots. Infestation of Cucumis melo by B. cucurbitae averaged 14.1 % and 18.2 % in untreated control plots in 1985 and 1986, respectively. In 1986, squashmelon (Cucurbita pepo L. subsp. ovifera (L.) D. S. Decker var. ovifera (L.) Harz) was intersown in melon as a trap crop, with another plot of melon grown nearby as a control. The percentage fruit infestation was recorded every 10 days following initial fruit set. Cucumis melo infestation averaged 10.2 % in the plot with interplanted squashmelon and 19.2 % in the plot where only melon was grown. In 1986, melon was sown in 15 plots to test for the relative effectiveness of toxicants for the control of B. cucurbitae. Percentage fruit infestation was recorded after fruit set, and repeated just before each spray. Before each spray, healthy and fly-infested fruits were counted in the control and all spray plots. Infestation of Cucumis melo by B. cucurbitae averaged 18.7 % in untreated control plots. + Khan et al. 1993: Faisalabad, Pakistan One hundred (100) C. melo fruits (assignment of ” C. melo ” for common name “ melon ” used in this paper determined from Khan et al. 1992) were randomly observed in the field monthly from 1985 to 1986 and percentage infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) calculated. High C. melo infestation (76 – 100 %) was observed in May, while 51 – 75 % infestation was observed in April and June to August. Cucumis melo samples were placed in a cage (1 fruit at a time) with adult B. cucurbitae flies for 24 hours, then, 1 week later, were dissected to count the number of 2 nd and 3 rd instar larvae. Over 5 replications, an average of twenty-five (25) 2 nd instar and one hundred twenty-four (124) 3 rd instar larvae was recovered. Leblanc et al. 2012: Papua New Guinea (PNG) Cucumis melo fruits were collected during 1997 to 2000 in PNG and held in plastic containers over finely sieved sawdust that had been sterilized in an oven or frozen overnight to kill mites. The sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly puparia. Puparia were kept in moist sawdust until adult emergence. Adults were fed for 5 days, then killed by freezing to allow colors and markings, necessary for correct species identification, to fully develop. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 7 of 9 (77.8 %) samples in PNG. Leblanc et al. 2013 a: Papua New Guinea (PNG) Cucumis melo fruits (94 fruits; 23.16 kg) were collected during 1997 to 2000 in PNG and held in plastic containers over finely sieved sawdust that had been sterilized in an oven or frozen overnight to kill mites. The sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly puparia. Puparia were kept in moist sawdust until adult emergence. Adults were fed for 5 days, then killed by freezing to allow colors and markings, necessary for correct species identification, to fully develop. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in 7 of 8 (87.5 %) samples in PNG, with an overall infestation rate of 17.79 flies / kg fruit and 32.42 flies / kg infested fruit. McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 68 C. melo fruits were collected (3 collections overall) from two islands / island groups (Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 2 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in each of the islands / island groups) of 17.2 %. McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 235 C. melo fruits (listed as C. melo cv. Albus) were collected (8 collections overall) from one island / island group (Amami) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 42 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in the island / island group) of 8.1 %. Mwatawala et al. 2009 b: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Cucumis melo fruits were randomly collected weekly between October 2004 through October 2006 and from August through December, 2007, from areas within the Sokoine University of Agriculture campus in Morogoro and from Nyandira, Mikese, Mkindo in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. Out of 75 collected fruits (2.082 kg), infestation by B. cucurbitae averaged 169.07 emerged adults per kg fruit. Mwatawala et al. 2010: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Seventy-two (72) immature C. melo fruits (2.037 kg) were collected at irregular intervals between October 2004 and April 2008, from the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupariation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. Bactrocera cucurbitae flies were recovered from 7 of 14 collections (50 %), with an overall infestation rate of 173.29 flies / kg fruit and 297.39 flies / kg infested fruit. Nath and Bhushan 2006: Varanasi, State of Uttar Pradesh, India Cucumis melo was sown, with three replications, in Varanasi, India, the last week of March (summer season) in both 2001 and 2002. Percentage infestation by B. cucurbitae averaged 23.8 % (range: 21.8 – 25.7 %). + Nishida and Haramoto 1953: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Three (3) C. melo fruits (listed as melon) were collected from three sites (Waianae, Manoa Valley, Waimanalo) on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii where adult flies of both B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) and B. dorsalis (listed as D. dorsalis) were known to be present. Fruits were held in containers until adult emergence. On average, 98.3 % of flies recovered were B. cucurbitae with an average recovery of 104 B. cucurbitae per fruit (range: 61 – 215). Qureshi et al. 1974: Hyderabad, Sindh Province, Pakistan In order to document the relative abundance of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) and Dacus ciliatus, random samples of Cucumis melo fruits were collected from various vegetable growing areas near Hyderabad, Pakistan from 1970 to 1972. Fruits were held separately in wooden boxes with wire-gauze screen at the bottom, and placed over another box containing sterilized sand. The sand was sieved daily and recovered pupae were held in Petri plates until adult emergence. One hundred twenty-four (124) B. cucurbitae adults were recovered from 7.0 kg of C. melo fruits overall. Bactrocera cucurbitae adults were recovered from 4 of 6 collections (66.7 %), with a collection average of 15.3 adults recovered per kg fruit. Shelly and Edu 2010: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. B. cucurbitae laboratory colony was started using 600 – 800 adults reared from honeydew melons (C. melo) collected from a farm in Kapolei, on the Island of Oahu. No infestation rate data were given.

Fruits, collected from 5 melon clumps from each farm from each farm visit (up to five visits maximum), were placed in individual containers and held over sand in relatively cool and shaded rooms until pupation. Pupae recovered by sieving the sand were transferred to cotton-covered glass vials and held until adult emergence. Percentage infestation of C. melo fruits by B. cucurbitae in unprotected plots averaged 50 % in DI Khan and 23 % in RY Khan. Syed 1971: Faisalabad and Gujranwala, Province of Punjab; Harnai and Quetta, Province of Balochistan; Hyderabad, Sindh Province; Multan, Province of Punjab, Pakistan In May, 1962 – 1963, a few C. melo were attacked by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) at Faisalabad and Gujranwala. Attacks on C. melo began in July (1964 – 1965) in Harnai and Quetta; in Hyderabad (1964 – 1965), 2.0 % of fruits were attacked in June, with a few also infested in July (40 %: 60 % B. cucurbitae: Dacus ciliatus); in Multan (1963 – 1964), attacks started in April with 50 % of C. melo fruits infested in May by the combination of B. cucurbitae and Dacus ciliatus. Total number of fruits collected and infestation rate data were not given. Vayssières and Carel 1999: Réunion Island, France Four varieties of Cucumis melo fruits were collected over the course of a year from up to 70 localities on Réunion Island. Fruits with evidence of fruit fly infestation were held in individual containers, with recovered pupae held for adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae recovery averaged 762.5 (standard deviation [SD] = 1,486) adults per kg infested fruit (var. ‘ Jet’); 138.4 (SD = 290.1) adults per kg infested fruit (var. ‘ PI 414723 ’); 0.0 (SD = 0.0) adults per kg infested fruit (var. ‘ Ponchito’); and 55.6 (SD = 131.1) adults per kg infested fruit (var. ‘ Saga’). Vayssières et al. 2007: Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea and Senegal, West Africa Tephritid fruit fly-infested Cucumis melo fruits were collected from untreated orchards in West Africa. Fruits were placed on mesh supports over sand. Tephritid fruit fly pupae, recovered through weekly sieving of the sand, were transferred to small hatching boxes lined with wet blotting paper and held for adult emergence. The average B. cucurbitae infestation level in C. melo fruits in West Africa fell in the range of 26 – 50 pupae / kg fruit. For comparison, the authors indicated that the infestation level of C. melo fruits averaged 51 – 75 pupae / kg fruit on Réunion Island. Wong et al. 1986: Waimanalo, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A.

Field Infestation: Allwood et al. 1999: Thailand, Malaysia, Southern India From fruit collections in 1992, B. cucurbitae was recovered from C. melo L. subsp. melo (listed as Cucumis trigonus). Number of fruit samples and infestation rate data were not given. Bactrocera cucurbitae individuals were identified by R. A. I. Drew and D. L. Hancock. Syed 1971: Hyderabad and Karachi, Sindh Province, Pakistan In Hyderabad (1964 – 1965), a few C. melo subsp. melo fruits (listed as Cucumis trigonus) were infested in October by a mix of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) and Dacus ciliatus (40 %: 60 %). In Karachi (1962 – 1966), there was a 4 % infestation of fruits in October (combined infestation by B. cucurbitae and D. ciliatus). Total number of fruits collected were not given. Lab Infestation: Chelliah and Sambandam 1974 b: Cucumis callosus (a wild relative of C. melo, now considered to be a synonym of C. melo subsp. melo) and an F 1 hybrid (C. callosus × C. melo var. ‘ Delta Gold’) were tested for B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) larval period (i. e., time from egg hatch to pupation) and percentage larval survival. In the larval period testing, each fruit was exposed to 10 newly emerged larvae, replicated 20 times for each variety. Larvae were transferred to fresh fruit when necessary. The larval period averaged 4.51 days for C. collosus and 4.41 days for the F 1 hybrid. In larval survival testing, each fruit was exposed to 20 newly emerged larvae, replicated 20 times for each variety, and pupae were recovered from the cage. The average percentage larval survival was 79.0 % for C. callosus and 93.5 % for the F 1 hybrid (the survival rate was significantly less for C. callosus than for C. melo varieties tested concurrently; see entry for this reference under C. melo). Chelliah and Sambandam 1974 c: Cucumis callosus (a wild relative of C. melo, now considered to be a synonym of C. melo subsp. melo) was tested for resistance to infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Fruits were harvested 5 to 7 days after fruits were set and exposed to two sexually mature male / gravid female pairs of B. cucurbitae. Fruits were then examined for B. cucurbitae infestation 7 days after fruit exposure. Cucumis callosus was rated ‘ highly resistant’ (“ infestation up to 20 %, with high antibiosis ”). Sambandam and Chelliah 1969: In fruit-fly resistance experiments, 2 tender fruits of C. melo subsp. melo (listed as C. callosus; listed as a wild plant) were placed in cages and exposed to 2 male and 2 female B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) for 10 days, after which fruits were examined and rated for infestation. Cucumis melo subsp. melo fruits exhibited a high degree of resistance to infestation by B. cucurbitae, with only 10 % of fruits becoming infested, while infestation in C. melo subsp. melo var. cantalupo cultivars ranged from 90 to 100 % infested. Sambandam and Chelliah 1976: In fruit-fly resistance experiments, 2 tender fruits resulting from a cross of C. melo subsp. melo var. cantalupo cultivar ‘ Delta Gold’ (listed as muskmelon) and C. melo subsp. melo (listed as Cucumis callosus) (with the latter used as the seed parent) were placed in cages and exposed to 2 male- and 2 female- B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) for 10 days, after which fruits were examined and rated for infestation.

Fallen and marketable sized fruits were collected / picked every 3 days and assessed for infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Infestation results were summarized weekly. Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation was found in 6 of 6 weekly summaries (100 %). Overall, 46 (31.7 kg) fruits were collected, of which 15 were infested, for averages of 7.7 fruits collected per week with an average infestation rate of 33.7 %. Haldhar et al. 2013: Bikaner, State of Rajasthan, India Field studies were conducted in 2011 and 2012 at the experimental farm of the Central Institute for Arid Agriculture in Bikaner to identify traits of C. melo subsp. melo var. cantalupo varieties (listed as both C. melo and as muskmelon) associated with resistance to infestation by B. cucurbitae. In an initial screening, seed was sown in a randomized complete block design with three replicates in February 2011, for 24 different C. melo subsp. melo var. cantalupo varieties. Four (4) pickings were conducted throughout the season. From each picking 10 fruits were randomly collected per replication, 3 replications per variety, from each of the 24 varieties. Percentage infestation was calculated from 30 fruits per variety at each picking. A subset of 10 of these fruits (per variety) was then randomly selected and the numbers of B. cucurbitae larvae were counted in each of these fruits. Infestation by B. cucurbitae averaged 47.3 % (range: 12.6 – 79.5 %) across all 24 varieties. Larval density averaged 17.9 larvae / fruit (range: 11.1 – 23.76).

(“ pumpkin ”) were directly sown both in mono-cropped plots and in plots where all three crops were “ haphazardly mixed both within and between lines. ” Two plots of each type were planted in each of three seasons: March – June 2013, October – December 2013 and April – July 2014. Planting dates for each crop species were adjusted based on days to flowering in order to synchronize fruit setting. Fruits in all plots were subject to natural infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Zeugodacus cucurbitae). At each sampling date, fruits of each species were randomly harvested from each plot and held in rearing containers containing sterilized sand as a pupation medium. Pupae were removed and held on Petri dishes with moist filter paper until adult emergence. From the mono-cropped C. sativus plots, 56.7 % of fruits were infested by B. cucurbitae with an average infestation rate of 48.85 flies / kg fruit (out of 6.98 kg fruits). From the mix-cropped plots, 70.0 % of C. sativus fruits were infested by B. cucurbitae with an average infestation rate of 55.4 flies / kg fruit (out of 8.00 kg fruits).

Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered from the 1.0 kg of C. sativus fruits sampled, with an infestation rate of between 100 and 200 individuals per kg fruit. + Nishida 1953: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. A monthly survey of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) infestation of C. sativus fruits (listed as cucumber) was made in Waimanalo and Waianae, on the Island of Oahu, between 1951 and 1952. The rate of infestation ranged from 5 to 60 % in Waianae and 10 to 100 % in Waimanalo. Number of fruits observed were not reported. + Nishida 1954: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. In a test of the effectiveness of applying insecticides with conventional-type sprayers on border vegetation to reduce infestation of C. sativus (listed as cucumber) by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae), percentage infestation of fruits was observed in two fields which received border sprays and in three (check) fields in which only on-crop sprays were applied. The presence of oviposition punctures was used as the criterion to identify infested fruits, irrespective of whether eggs or larvae were found. Average rate of infestation of 10 - cm long C. sativus fruits from the three check fields ranged between 70 and 100 %. Nishida 1955: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A.

Larvae were extracted from fruits and placed in small wax paper cups containing pumpkin pulp. The cups were placed on sand in jars in which a high humidity was maintained. Six hundred twenty-four (624) and 390 Bactrocera cucurbitae larvae were recovered from the fruits at the two sites, respectively. Number of fruits and infestation rate data were not given. Oke 2008: Anse Boileau, Mahe Island, Seychelles In order to test the effectiveness of insecticides in controlling melon fly in C. sativus, cucumber (variety ‘ slicer no. 5 ’) was sown in a nursery in April 2007 and then planted out in a randomized complete block design with three replicates at the Vegetable Evaluation and Research Station Farm at Anse Boileau, Mahe Island, Seychelles. Fruits were harvested five times from each plot with fruits held in plastic bags that had holes for aeration and contained sand as a pupation medium. Cucumis sativus fruits from the untreated control plot averaged 3.40 B. cucurbitae pupae per fruit over the five harvests. No adult flies were recovered. + Pareek and Kavadia 1994: Jobner and Udaipur, state of Rajasthan, India Cucumis sativus fruits (listed as cucumber, variety ‘ Khera- 75 ’) were raised in a randomized block design with nine other cucurbit crops (each with three replicated plots) for assessment of preference of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). The trials were conducted from February to June in 1979, and again in 1981, in Udaipur (semi-humid agroclimatic conditions) and in 1980 and 1981 in Jobner (semi-arid agroclimatic condition). Fruits were harvested twice a week, examined for fruit fly damage, and then percentage of fruits infested by B. cucurbitae calculated. Percentage infestation averaged 14.2 % (range: 13.8 – 14.7 %) in Udaipur and 11.7 % (range: 9.7 – 13.7 %) in Jobner. Prabhakar et al. 2012: State of Himachal Pradesh, India Infested C. sativus fruits were collected from six districts of the State of Himalchal Pradesh in India from 29 May to 2 September 2009.

Lab Infestation: Agarwal and Yazdani 1991: One hundred (100) eggs, collected from adult B. cucurbitae flies (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) which emerged from field-infested Luffa aegyptiaca Mill. fruits (listed as Luffa cylindrica), were inserted in a triangular cut in a Cucumis sativus fruit (four replications) and held at 29.85 ± 8.33 ° C and 61.72 ± 22.05 % RH. An average of 72 % survived from larval stage to adult emergence. + Armstrong and Garcia 1985: A total of 36.08 kg of two greenhouse-grown C. sativus varieties (listed as cucumber, varieties ‘ Daleva’ and ‘ Burpee Hybrid’) was obtained from farms in Mountain View and Keaau, on the island of Hawaii (Hawaii, U. S. A.) and exposed to 140 sexually mature Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (1: 1 sex ratio) per kg fruit for 18 ± 2 hours. Following exposure, cucumbers were held on trays with dry fruit fly larval diet for 2 weeks. Seventy-five thousand eight hundred sixty (75,860) B. cucurbitae pupae were recovered for an infestation rate of 2,102.5 pupae / kg fruit. Akter et al. 2010: In a laboratory host preference study conducted in Bangladesh during 2005 to 2006, 250 g of C. sativus, along with 250 g of each of five other vegetables (Cucurbita maxima, Momordica charantia, Solanum lycopersicum var. lycopersicum, S. melongena, and Trichosanthes cucumerina), were simultaneously exposed to one hundred (100) 15 – 20 - day-old gravid female B. cucurbitae flies for 3 hours, then placed over saw dust. The saw dust was sieved to recover pupae which were transferred to Petri dishes and held until adult emergence. The trial was replicated five times. Recovery of B. cucurbitae pupae and adults averaged 280 ± 55.98 and 257 ± 55.32, respectively (1,120 and 1,028 per kg fruit, respectively). The order of adult recovery (greatest to smallest) was: S. melongena> T. cucumerina> C. maxima> C. sativus> M. charantia> S. lycopersicum. + Back and Pemberton 1917: Sixty-six (66) B. cucurbitae larvae were able to complete instars one – three on C. sativus (listed as cucumber), transferred daily from one piece of pulp to a fresh piece of pulp, in an average time of 7.0 days at an average temperature of 26.0 ° C. Carey et al. 1985: Fifty (50) newly emerged 1 st generation B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (four replications) were added to a small portion of C. sativus and held at 25 (± 2.0) ° C and 60.0 (± 6.0) % RH in a covered Petri plate, with additional host material added as needed. When some of the larvae approached maturity, the Petri plate was opened and placed in sand in a larger container to allow for pupation. The sand was then sifted daily to recover pupae which were held at the same conditions of temperature and relative humidity. On average, 78 % of the larvae survived to adult emergence, with an average larva to adult development time of 17.1 days. + Gupta and Verma 1995: A cohort of 50 B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) newly emerged maggots was placed on a small slice of C. sativus fruit (listed as cucumber) kept in a Petri dish. Maggots were shifted daily to a new slice and mortality was recorded. Mature larvae were allowed to burrow into sand for pupation and, after 6 days, pupae were recovered and placed in plastic tubes until eclosion. Average adult survivorship from newly emerged larvae placed on cucumber was 54 %, which was intermediate in value to survivorship on sponge gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca) (44 %) and on bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) (60 %). + Hagen 1952: Bactrocera cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) used in laboratory studies were reared from C. sativus fruits (listed as cucumber). Khan et al. 2011: In a choice test, 50.0 g of C. sativus fruits, along with 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside a small cage, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 193 ± 13.86 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau), 63.21 % (122.0) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae. In a no-choice test, 50.0 g of C. sativus fruits, as well as 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 5 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 5 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside separate small cages, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 170 ± 5.77 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau), 47.05 % (80.0) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae. Koul and Bhagat 1994 b: Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) was used to rear B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in the lab. Eggs obtained from flies maintained on bottle gourd were placed on a thin slice of tender and fresh C. sativus fruit. Newly emerged B. cucurbitae larvae were transferred to freshly cut C. sativus slices placed in glass tubes for 2 – 5 days and then held over sand (4 cm thick) until pupation. Pupae were sieved daily and individually transferred to glass tubes with a 3 cm sand layer moistened with water and held until adult emergence. Freshly emerged flies were held in glass tubes after pairing, provided with a slice of C. sativus fruit and a cotton plug soaked in 10 % honey solution. Larval duration averaged 4.7 days, compared to 3.5, 4.2, 4.7, and 5.7 days, when reared on Momordica charantia, Lagenaria siceraria, Benincasa fistulosa, and Cucurbita pepo, respectively. No temperature or relative humidity data were provided. + Lall and Singh 1969: A stock culture of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was maintained on freshly sliced C. sativus fruits (listed as cucumber). Freshly sliced C. sativus fruits were placed in a cage holding adult flies. The sliced fruits were examined daily. Fruits found to contain eggs were transferred to a glass trough with a layer of moist sand at its bottom. Fresh slices of fruit were added as needed. The sand was sieved to recover pupae which were transferred to Petri dishes where they were held under a moist layer of sand. Emerged adult flies were transferred to the breeding cage. Duration of life stages, along with temperature and relative humidity, were recorded for nine to ten generations over the course of a year. The duration of the larval period averaged 7.36 days (range: 5.00 – 13.09 days). Rajamannar 1962: Using B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) 1 st instar larvae obtained from eggs oviposited on bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria; listed as L. vulgaris), 89 of 100 (89 %) 1 st instar larvae raised on C. sativus (listed as cucumber) pupated, with an average time to pupation of 4.0 days. In a separate test, 85 of 100 (85 %) 1 st instar larvae were found to feed on C. sativus discs (an average of 17.0 out of 20 larvae, based on five replicated trials). Saha et al. 2007: The relative quality of seven different B. cucurbitae fruit hosts was assessed by comparing pupal recovery (in F 1 and F 2 generations) following exposure of 500 g of each fruit to 200 gravid B. cucurbitae adults (from laboratory-adapted stock culture) for 30 minutes. For C. sativus, 292 and 339 pupae (584 and 678 pupae / kg fruit) and 228 and 268 adults (456 and 436 adults per kg fruit) were recovered in the F 1 and F 2 generations, respectively. Shivashankar et al. 2015: Bactrocera cucurbitae adults maintained on a protein hydrolysate diet were exposed to 5 - day-old C. sativus fruits (listed as cucumber) for 6 hours for oviposition. Oviposited fruits were placed on a thin layer of moist sand in plastic trays. Pupae were collected and transferred to separate cages for adult emergence. One (1) 1 st instar B. cucurbitae larva, emerged from an egg oviposited on a tender Sechium edule fruit, was inserted into a 5 mm diameter by 2 mm deep hole punched into the surface of a freshly harvested tender C. sativus fruit (listed as cucumber). Fruits were held, in large plastic containers having a thin layer of sand, at the mean ambient temperature and relative humidity of 28.2 ± 1.0 ° C and 58.7 ± 1.0 % RH, respectively. Pupae recovered were transferred to a different container with a thin layer of moist sand for adult emergence. There were ten replications with 10 fruits per replication. An average of 8.90 adult B. cucurbitae emerged per replication. + Tan 1994: Adult B. cucurbitae (for use in laboratory trials looking at lizard predation) were obtained by raising the flies on fresh uninfested C. sativus fruits (listed as cucumber) with moist sterilized sand available as a pupation medium. No infestation rate data were given. Tsatsia and Hollingsworth 1997: Various numbers of B. cucurbitae eggs were added to either whole or sections of C. sativus fruits. Fruits were held over sterilized sawdust from which pupae were obtained. Pupae were obtained from each of the 6 C. sativus fruits that were infested, with no dead larvae observed. On average, about 360 pupae were recovered per kg fruit (range: 71.9 – 670). Vayssières et al. 2004: B. cucurbitae eggs were collected from ‘ wild strain’ adults (though no host is listed from which they were recovered and no indication whether the strains may have completed one or more generations in the laboratory prior to egg collection). Eggs were placed on C. sativus fruits with life stage durations recorded through adult emergence at three different constant temperatures and 75 ± 10 % relative humidity (photoperiod used not indicated). Total duration of the larval stage averaged 159.7 hours (6.65 days) (at 20 ± 0.5 ° C); 112 hours (4.67 days) (at 25 ± 1.0 ° C); and 85.3 hours (3.56 days) (at 30 ± 1.0 ° C). Vayssières et al. 2008: Eggs of B. cucurbitae, collected from adults reared for two generations on Cucumis sativus fruits, were placed on 150 g of C. sativus fruit with fresh fruit added as needed, and reared through pupariation to adult emergence. Survivorship from egg to adult, at 25 ° C, was 82 ± 3 %. Larvae successfully developed through pupariation at 15 ° C, 20 ° C, 25 ° C, and 30 ° C.

Cultivated: Widely cultivated. Field Infestation: Kumar et al. 2008: Bangalore, South India Cucumis sativus variety ‘ Ijax ’ fruits (listed, also, as pickling cucumber and gherkin) were harvested monthly at the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bangalore, South India from July 2002 to October 2003 (a total of 67 harvests). At each harvest, damaged and healthy fruits were sorted and weighed separately, with damaged fruits placed in separate cages on a thin layer of sand to facilitate pupation and adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae and D. ciliatus adults that emerged were counted. Infestation of C. sativus L. var. ‘ Ijax’ (by month of collection) by B. cucurbitae (using data from July 2002 – April 2003, June 2003, August 2003 and October 2003 only, because the remaining collections in 2003 were co-infested by D. ciliatus) averaged 27.45 % (range: 0.0 – 63.31 %), with an average infestation rate of 76.19 individuals per kg fruit (range: 0.0 – 307.51). McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 47,208 C. sativus var. sativus fruits were collected (187 collections overall) from four islands / island groups (Amami, Miyako, Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 1,470 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in each of the islands / island groups) of 8.4 %.

K. N. College of Agriculture in Jobner, India during the kharif season in 2000. The infestation rate of C. maxima fruits (listed as pumpkin) by B. cucurbitae averaged 15.87 % (range: 13.39 – 17.73 %) over the course of four collection dates, each 3 days apart, in September 2000. McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 60,152 C. maxima and C. moschata fruits (the two species not differentiated) were collected (182 collections overall) from five islands / island groups (Amami, Kume, Miyako, Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 2,494 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in the islands / island groups) of 8.01 %. Nath et al. 1976: Hessaraghatta, Bangalore, State of Karnataka, India Eighty-two (82) varieties of pumpkin (a mix of Cucurbita maxima Duch and C. moschata Duch varieties) were screened for the resistence to B. cucurbitae damage (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in Bangalore, India in 1969. Varieties were planted in mid-July in a randomized block design with 3 replications. Resistance was measured by estimating the percentage damaged fruits per plant three times at 2 - week intervals. No infestation was found in 8 of the varieties (9.75 %) at any of the three assessment periods. Five (5) of these varieties, which also had good yield with moderate fruit qualities, were selected for further trials (IHR 79 - 2 [C. maxima], IHR 35 [C. moschata], IHR 40 [C. moschata], IHR 83 [C. moschata], and IHR 86 [C. moschata]). Further trials with these 5 varieties were conducted in 1970, where IHR 35 and IHR 86 were found to be susceptible to infestation by B. cucurbitae and production or quality issues were identified for IHR 40 and IHR 83.

Lab Infestation: Akter et al. 2010: In a laboratory host preference study conducted in Bangladesh during 2005 to 2006, 250 g of C. maxima, along with 250 g of each of five other vegetables (Cucumis sativus, Momordica charantia, Solanum lycopersicum var. lycopersicum, S. melongena, and Trichosanthes cucumerina), were simultaneously exposed to 100 15 – 20 - day-old gravid female B. cucurbitae flies for 3 hours, then placed over saw dust. The saw dust was sieved to recover pupae which were transferred to Petri dishes and held until adult emergence. The trial was replicated five times. Recovery of B. cucurbitae pupae and adults averaged 319 ± 44.40 and 275 ± 38.19, respectively (1,276 and 1,100 per kg fruit, respectively). The order of adult recovery (greatest to smallest) was: S. melongena> T. cucumerina> C. maxima> C. sativus> M. charantia> S. lycopersicum. Khan et al. 2011: In a choice test, 50.0 g of C. maxima fruits, along with 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside a small cage, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation.

After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 5 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in the island / island group) of 33.3 %. Purcell and Messing 1996: Island of Kauai, Hawaii, U. S. A. Zucchini (C. pepo var. ‘ Green Magic’) seeds were planted on two occasions: 9 May 1994, and 1 September 1995. On 14 October, 2 November, 14 December, and 19 December 1995, between 250 – 400 sexually mature female B. cucurbitae adults were released into the fields to produce high infestation rates in hosts. Four age / ripeness categories of fruits were collected: immature, commercial sized, oversize, and rotting. Fruits were sampled weekly from eight randomly selected quadrats. Average recovery was 54.9 (27 samples), 37.0 (28 samples), 3.7 (14 samples), and 107.8 (18 samples) B. cucurbitae per kg fruit from the four fruit categories, respectively. Sapkota et al. 2010: Lamjung, Nepal In a test of methods of control to reduce infestation of C. pepo var. ‘ Bulam House’ by B. cucurbitae, 28 - day-old seedlings were set out on 25 January 2008, in Lamjung, Nepal, in a randomized complete block design with four replications. In the untreated control, B. cucurbitae caused damage to 2.27 ovaries of unopened flowers per plant, to 32.5 % of immature (<100 g) post-set fruits, and to 21.82 % of market-sized (> 100 g) fruits. + Singh et al. 2000: Kanpur, State of Uttar Pradesh, India Cucurbita pepo fruits (listed as pumpkin) were collected weekly at growers’ fields at the bank of the river Ganga in Kanpur beginning in February 1997. Percentage infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was determined (by observation) at each picking. The overall average B. cucurbitae infestation rate was 21.6 %. + Sookar and Khayratee 2000: Plaine Sophie, Mauritius Control of infestation of C. pepo fruits (listed as courgette, squash and pumpkin) by B. cucurbitae through the use of only cover sprays (year one) was compared with control by cover sprays plus spot sprays of protein bait + toxicant and cuelure + toxicant traps (year two). Every 2 weeks, courgette, squash and pumpkin fruits with fruit fly punctures were randomly sampled and placed in a plastic tray over dry sand. The sand was sifted after 10 days for B. cucurbitae pupal recovery. Pupae were held in insect cages until adult emergence. From January to December 1999, when the cover spray only control method was used, average infestation of courgette fruits over 2 - week intervals ranged from 163 to 386 pupae / kg infested fruit; average infestation of squash fruits over 2 - week intervals ranged from 324 to 530 pupae / kg infested fruit; and average infestation of pumpkin fruits over 2 - week intervals ranged from 325 to 467 pupae / kg infested fruit. Stonehouse et al. 2007: Sardarkrushinagar, State of Gujarat, India In a study comparing the effectiveness of protein bait spray applications for control of tephritid fruit fly infestation in C. pepo fruits (also listed as pumpkin) at the farm level versus the village level (defined to be 1.0 km 2) in Sardarkrushinagar, India, between 3 and 12 harvests of C. pepo fruits were made in each of 2 years at farms with varying extent of bait spray application. Percentage infestation was determined based either on visual examination of fruit to detect oviposition or by rearing out adult flies in the laboratory. On two farms in Sardarkrushinagar where no bait spray was applied, an average of 56.6 % of the fruits was infested. Infestation was primarily by B. cucurbitae, but accompanied in some cases by a minority of other species. Syed 1971: Peshawar Valley, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan In Peshawar Valley (1962 – 1963), 56 % of C. pepo fruits were infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in May; infestation rate dropped to 25 % in June. Total number of fruits collected were not given. Vayssières and Carel 1999: Réunion Island, France Five (5) varieties of Cucurbita pepo fruits were collected over the course of a year from up to 70 localities on Réunion Island. Fruits with evidence of fruit fly infestation were held in individual containers, with recovered pupae held for adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae recovery averaged 944 (standard deviation [SD] = 1,670) adults per kg infested fruit (a local variety of citrouille); 443 (SD = 914.7) adults per kg infested fruit (courgette var. ‘ Aphrodite’); 433.3 (SD = 674.7) adults per kg infested fruit (courgette var. ‘ Aurore’); 0.6 (SD = 4.2) adults per kg infested fruit (courgette var. ‘ Supremo’); and 0.8 (SD = 8.7) adults per kg infested fruit (courgette var. ‘ Tarmino’). Vayssières et al. 2007: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Niger and Senegal, West Africa Tephritid fruit fly-infested Cucurbita pepo fruits were collected from from untreated orchards in eight countries in West Africa. Fruits were placed on mesh supports over sand. Tephritid fruit fly pupae, recovered through weekly sieving of the sand, were transferred to small hatching boxes lined with wet blotting paper and held for adult emergence. The average B. cucurbitae infestation level in C. pepo fruits in West Africa fell in the range of 26 – 50 pupae / kg fruit. For comparison, the authors indicated that the infestation level of C. pepo fruits averaged over 100 pupae / kg fruit on Réunion Island. Wong et al. 1986: Waimanalo, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A.

Lab Infestation: Carey et al. 1985: Fifty (50) newly emerged 1 st generation B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (four replications) were added to a small portion of C. pepo fruit (also listed as zucchini squash) and held at 25 (± 2.0) ° C and 60.0 (± 6.0) % RH in a covered Petri plate, with additional host material added as needed. When some of the larvae approached maturity, the Petri plate was opened and placed in sand in a larger container to allow for pupation. The sand was then sifted daily to recover pupae which were held at the same conditions of temperature and relative humidity. On average, 79 % of the larvae survived to adult emergence, with an average larva to adult development time of 17.2 days. Fifty (50) newly emerged 1 st generation B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (4 replications) were added to a small portion of C. pepo fruit (also listed as long squash) and held at 25 (± 2.0) ° C and 60.0 (± 6.0) % RH in a covered Petri plate, with additional host material added as needed. When some of the larvae approached maturity, the Petri plate was opened and placed in sand in a larger container to allow for pupation. The sand was then sifted daily to recover pupae which were held at the same conditions of temperature and relative humidity. On average, 44 % of the larvae survived to adult emergence, with an average larva to adult development time of 20.0 days. Koul and Bhagat 1994 b: Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) was used to rear B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in the lab. Eggs obtained from flies maintained on bottle gourd were placed on a thin slice of tender and fresh C. pepo fruit. Newly emerged B. cucurbitae larvae were transferred to freshly cut C. pepo slices placed in glass tubes for 2 – 5 days and then held over sand (4 cm thick) until pupation. Pupae were sieved daily and individually transferred to glass tubes with a 3 - cm sand layer moistened with water and held until adult emergence. Freshly emerged flies were held in glass tubes after pairing, provided with a slice of C. pepo fruit and a cotton plug soaked in 10 % honey solution. Larval duration averaged 5.7 days, compared to 3.5, 4.2, 4.7, and 4.7 days, when reared on Momordica charantia, Lagenaria siceraria, Cucumis sativus, and Benincasa fistulosa, respectively. No temperature or relative humidity data were provided. Quilici et al. 2004: In parasitoid efficacy experiments, C. pepo fruits were placed in cages and exposed to gravid B. cucurbitae females for 24 hours. Fruits were transferred to plastic boxes and held with potato flocks for 6 days. Bactrocera cucurbitae larvae were recovered from artificially infested C. pepo fruits, exposed to parasitoids, and held with their media (potato flocks) over dry sawdust in plastic boxes (355 x 235 x 130 mm) at 25 ± 1 ° C (60 ± 10 % RH) until adult emergence (3 – 4 days). Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered from artificially infested C. pepo fruits. Sarwar et al. 2013: Healthy, undamaged, mature and ripe C. pepo fruits were collected from a local marketplace in Faisalabad, Pakistan. One hundred twenty-five (125) g of fruits were placed in the bottom of a sieve that was suspended from a guava (Psidium guajava) tree in a guava orchard that was not bearing fruits (with 3 replications). Fruits were left exposed to wild B. cucurbitae flies for 48 hours. Fruits from each replication were placed over sand in muslin cloth-topped plastic containers and held for 2 to 3 weeks. Bactrocera cucurbitae puparia, recovered by sieving the sand, were placed in moist sand in a Petri plate and held for adult emergence. An average of 3.83 B. cucurbitae pupae (30.6 pupae / kg fruit) were recovered from which an average of 2.17 adult flies (17.4 adult flies / kg fruit) emerged. Shelly and Edu 2010: Zucchini fruits (C. pepo), purchased in local supermarkets, were rinsed in water and introduced periodically for oviposition by B. cucurbitae adults. Infested fruits were held over vermiculite, with pupae sifted out, held in screen-covered trays, and marked with a dye 2 days before adult emergence. Emerged adults were held until sexually mature and then released in mark-release recapture trials. No infestation rate data were given. Vayssières et al. 2004: Bactrocera cucurbitae eggs were collected from ‘ wild strain’ adults (although no host from which they were recovered is listed and there is no indication as to whether the strains may have completed one or more generations in the laboratory prior to egg collection).

Cultivated: also cultivated. Field Infestation: Iwahashi 1977: Kume Island, Okinawa Islands, Japan Over 2,000 wild D. palmatus fruits (listed as Bryonopsis laciniosa) were collected monthly from June 1972 to January 1975 on Kume Island and assessed for infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). These collections were made before the start of an SIT-based eradication program, but male annihilation efforts and protein bait sprays were applied from November 1972 to January 1975. Infestation was assessed through dissection of fruits with apparent infestation or punctures and holding all other collected fruits on moistened sand. Average percentage infestation ranged from 2.56 to 23.62 %. Iwahashi et al. 1976: Kume Island, Okinawa Islands, Japan Wild D. palmatus fruits (listed as Bryonopsis laciniosa) were collected monthly from June 1972 to January 1975 on Kume Island and assessed for infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). These collections were made before the start of an SIT-based eradication program, but male annihilation efforts and protein bait sprays were applied from November 1972 to January 1975. Infestation was assessed through dissection of fruits with apparent infestation or punctures and holding all other collected fruits on moistened sand. Out of 4,910 D. palmatus fruits collected from June 1972 – January 1975 on Kume Island (before the start of SIT), 277 fruits were found to be infested. The average monthly infestation rate was 6.44 % (range: 1.28 – 12.0 %). Iwaizumi 1993: Southern Okinawa Island, Japan Diplocyclos palmatus fruits were collected monthly in the southern part of Okinawa Island from May through June 1987 and December 1987 through February 1988, and held on sand in plastic containers until adult fly emergence. Out of 1,955 fruits collected, 100 were infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae), with an average monthly infestation rate of 4.38 % (range: 0.0 – 17.2 %). Kittayapong et al. 2000: Thailand Diplocyclos palmatus fruits (listed as Bryonopsis laciniosa) were collected throughout Thailand within the time period of October 1995 to December 1998. Collections were placed over sawdust in a ventilated plastic container and brought back to the laboratory at Mahidol University in Bangkok. Bactrocera cucurbitae, Bactrocera rubella (Hardy) and B. tau sp. A were all recovered from D. palmatus fruits. Total number of fruits collected and infestation rate data were not given. Koyama et al. 1981: Minatogawa, Okinawa, Japan Twelve thousand three hundred fifteen (12,315) Diplocyclos palmatus fruits were collected in Minatogawa over the course of 12 monthly collections extending from June 1979 to May 1980. The number of fruits collected per collection ranged from 438 to 1,459 and averaged 1,026.25. Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was recovered in 11 of 12 collections (91.7 %). Out of 12,315 fruits collected, 443 were infested by B. cucurbitae (3.60 %). The average monthly infestation rate by B. cucurbitae was 4.76 % (range: 0.0 – 18.8 %). Totals of 1,376 pupa and 1,109 adults of B. cucurbitae were recovered. Average monthly B. cucurbitae recoveries were 0.145 pupae / fruit, 3.28 pupae / infested fruit, 0.116 adults / fruit and 2.96 adults / infested fruit. Overall B. cucurbitae recoveries averaged 0.112 pupae / fruit, 3.11 pupae / infested fruit, 0.090 adults / fruit and 2.50 adults / infested fruit. McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 392,313 D. palmatus fruits were collected (449 collections overall) from five islands / island groups (Amami, Kume, Miyako, Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 18,905 fruits, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in the islands / island groups) of 4.1 %. Tsuruta et al. 1997: Sri Lanka Sixty-three (63) B. cucurbitae adults were recovered from D. palmatus flowers and galls in Sri Lanka. Recoveries from flowers came from Kiralogama (46), Kalakaradawa (1), and Laggala (3). Recoveries from galls came from Laggala (13). No infestation rate data were given.

Field Infestation: Ali et al. 2014 a: Abugubeiha Province, South Kordofan State, Sudan field assessment was conducted during the 2005 to 2006 and 2006 to 2007 growing seasons in Abugubeiha Province, South Kordofan State, Sudan, of tephritid fruit fly infestation in M. indica, Citrus paradisi (listed as grapefruit) and Psidium guajava (listed as guava). One hundred (100) fruits of each fruit species were randomly collected in each of two fruiting seasons and held over sand in fine mesh-covered plastic containers. Pupae were recovered from the sand and held in small cages until adult emergence. Bactrocera cucurbitae and Ceratitis cosyra were recovered from M. indica fruits (cv. Abusamaka) during the first season. Both species, along with B. dorsalis (listed as B. invadens), were recovered from M. indica fruits in the second season, where C. cosyra was more common than the other two species. Ali et al. 2014 b: Abugubeiha Province, South Kordofan State, Sudan Mangifera indica fruits were collected during the 2005 through 2006 growing season in Abugubeiha Province, South Kordofan State, Sudan, and held for recovery of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Out of 6.0 kg of M. indica fruits, 45 B. cucurbitae adults were recovered for an infestation rate of 7.5 B. cucurbitae per kg fruit. Bactrocera dorsalis (listed as B. invadens) and C. cosyra were also recovered. + Back and Pemberton 1917: Hawaii, U. S. A. Mangifera indica (listed as mango) is listed as “ occasionally infested ” by B. cucurbitae. The authors reported that F. W. Terry reared adult melon flies from ripe mangoes in August 1907. The authors, though, further noted that this is one of several fruits that has “ never been known to serve regularly ” as a melon fly host and that this record of infestation “ must be considered as exceptional. ” + Back and Pemberton 1918: Hawaii, U. S. A. Mangifera indica (listed as mango) is listed as “ occasionally infested ” by B. cucurbitae. The authors stated that adult melon flies have been reared from mango, but that mango does not serve regularly as a host; that it is attacked by melon fly only in rare instances, and then only slightly. Clausen et al. 1965: Malaysia (Sabah) (referred to as North Borneo; place names listed are in present day Sabah, Malaysia) From collections of M. indica from April to July 1951 in Sabah, Malaysia (referred to as North Borneo), 23,570 puparia were recovered, a mix of two predominant species: B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae Coq.) and B. dorsalis (listed as Dacus dorsalis Hendel) (ratio not stated). Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered in smaller numbers than it had been in cucurbitaceous hosts. + Hala et al. 2008: Korhogo, Côte d’Ivoire Three varieties of M. indica (‘ Amelie, ’ ‘ Kent’, and ‘ Keitt’; listed as mango) were collected in June in 2005 and 2006 at the Korhogo research station in Korhogo, Côte d’Ivoire. Similar collections were made in May to June in Yamoussoukro and in May in Abidjan. Fruits were held in “ rearing devices ” in a laboratory for recovery of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Recovered flies were sent to the Royal Museum of Central Africa for identification. Overall, ten species of tephritid fruit flies were recovered. Bactrocera cucubitae accounted for 1.0 % of the tephritid fruit flies recovered from Korhogo in 2005, but was not recovered in 2006 and was not recovered in either Yamoussoukro or in Abidjan in either 2005 or 2006. McBride and Tanada 1949: Hawaii, U. S. A. Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was reared from M. indica fruits (by O. C. McBride). Fruits of the mango varieties, ‘ Common’ or ‘ Manini’, ‘ French, ’ ‘ Fairchild, ’ and ‘ Pirie’ were found infested. From 31 fruits of the ‘ Common’ variety, 10 B. cucurbitae flies emerged; from 20 fruits of the ‘ French’ variety, 2 flies emerged; from 20 fruits of the ‘ Fairchild’ variety, 10 flies emerged; and from 22 fruits of the ‘ Pirie’ variety, 1 fly emerged. The authors listed M. indica as a rarely injured plant. Mwatawala et al. 2009 a: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Mature M. indica fruits were randomly collected at regular intervals between October 2004 and October 2006 from areas within the Sokoine University of Agriculture campus in Morogoro and from Nyandira, Mikese, Mkindo in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. Four (4) of 122 (3.28 %) M. indica samples (101.33 kg) were infested by B. cucurbitae. Mwatawala et al. 2010: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania One thousand three hundred forty-eight (1,348) mature M. indica fruits (313.84 kg) were collected at irregular intervals between October 2004 and April 2008, from the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupariation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. Bactrocera cucurbitae flies were recovered from 5 of 221 collections (2.26 %), with an overall infestation rate of 0.015 flies / kg fruit and 1.16 flies / kg infested fruit. Vayssières et al. 2007: Benin and Mali, West Africa Tephritid fruit fly-infested Mangifera indica fruits were collected from untreated orchards in Benin and Mali. Fruits were placed on mesh supports over sand. Tephritid fruit fly pupae, recovered through weekly sieving of the sand, were transferred to small hatching boxes lined with wet blotting paper and held for adult emergence. In Benin, in 2006 and 2007, B. cucurbitae was recovered from M. indica fruits (cultivars ‘ Gouverneur, ’ ‘ Eldon, ’ ‘ Alphonse de Goa, ’ and ‘ Keitt’). Infestation levels were low (2 pupae / kg fruit) and localized. The authors suggest that average M. indica infestation levels in West Africa fall within the range of 1 to 25 pupae / kg fruit. Interception Data: PestID 2016: Hawaii, U. S. A. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered by USDA-APHIS-PPQ (“ interceptions ”) from Mangifera indica fruits, originating in Hawaii, at airports in Hawaii on 20 occasions (Honolulu – 18; Kahului – 1; Kailua-Kona – 1) between 2003 and 2005. Live larvae were recovered in 18 of these interceptions, with an average of 3.9 live larvae (range: 2 – 8) per interception. In an interception in February 2004 (Kailua-Kona), eight live adults were recovered; and in an interception in August 2005 (Honolulu), four (4) live pupae and one (1) live adult were recovered.

Infestation rate data were not given. Bactrocera cucurbitae individuals were identified by R. A. I. Drew and D. L. Hancock. Amin et al. 2011: Dinajpur, Bangladesh From April through July 2009, M. charantia was grown in a randomized complete design with four other cucurbit species (four replicates) at the Entomology Farm Laboratory, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, Bangladesh. Fruits were observed for infestation by B. cucurbitae, and harvested at maturity stage. An average of about 66 % of M. charantia fruits was infested by B. cucurbitae. Adult B. cucurbitae were also recovered from field-infested M. charantia fruits brought back to the laboratory. Bains and Sidhu 1984: State of Punjab, India Field observations of infestation of M. charantia fruits by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were made at 10 - day intervals in Punjab, India, between May and September. Infested fruits were found in 11 of 13 observations (84.6 %) with an average infestation rate of 20.5 (± 6.1 [standard error]) %. Banerji et al. 2005: Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India Momordica charantia var. ‘ Meghna’ was planted in Kalyani, Nadia, West Bengal, India in November 2000 (‘ rabi’ season), February 2001 (‘ summer’ season), and June 2001 (‘ kharif’ season). The percentage infestation by B. cucurbitae among 30 tagged fruits was recorded weekly (based on visual observation) from initial fruiting stage until the end of the crop. After each week’s observation, 30 new fruits were tagged for subsequent observation. Infestation of M. charantia by B. cucurbitae averaged 18.0 ± 5.4 [standard error] (range: 3.33 – 33.33 %), 26.7 ± 3.9 (range: 6.67 – 43.33 %), and 34.2 ± 4.4 (range: 3.3 – 63.33 %) during the rabi, summer and kharif seasons, respectively. Bhowmik et al. 2014: Nadia District, State of West Bengal, India Momordica charantia plants were grown, without pesticide application, at three sites in the Nadia District of West Bengal, India. Percentage infestation of M. charantia fruits by B. cucurbitae was determined weekly, by observation, in 2012 (April – June) and in 2013 (March – May) (eight sampling times each year). Infestation averaged 28.8 % (range: 12.7 – 40.1 %) and 37.1 % (range: 27.5 – 54.7 %) in 2012 and 2013, respectively. + Birah et al. 2015: Port Blair, South Andaman Island, India To test the effectiveness of different management techniques to minimize infestation by B. cucurbitae, M. charantia (listed as bitter gourd), variety ‘ Coimbatore Long, ’ was planted out in a randomized block design with 4 replicates during the 2010 to 2011 and 2011 to 2012 growing seasons at Garacharma farm in Port Blair, South Andaman Island. Percentage infestation of M. charantia fruits was determined at each of ten fruit harvests. In the control treatment, the average percentage infestation, averaged over both production years, was 39.3 % (range over the ten fruit harvests: 20.3 – 75.4 %). Chinajariyawong et al. 2000: Thailand Bactrocera cucurbitae was reared from 1 sample of M. charantia collected in Thailand. No infestation rate data were given. Chinajariyawong et al. 2003: Thailand Out of 1,309 M. charantia fruits sampled from a control field in a bait spray trial in Thailand, 526 (40.2 %) were infested by B. cucurbitae and / or B. tau (B. cucurbitae was the dominant species). Clarke et al. 2001: Thailand Five thousand five hundred and two (5,502) (81.4 kg) infested M. charantia fruits were collected in Thailand from 1986 to 1994. Five regions of Thailand (Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Surat Thani, Songhkla) recorded infestation rates of 0.65, 0.99, 1.8, 2.4 and 2.3 B. cucurbitae per infested fruit and 91.5, 229.9, 73.0, 117.6 and 58.2 B. cucurbitae per kg infested fruits, respectively. Bactrocera cucurbitae was identified by either R. A. I. Drew or D. L. Hancock. Clausen et al. 1965: Island of Mindanao, Philippines From M. charantia collections from February to September 1950, on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines, 1,554 puparia were recovered, a mix of two predominant species: Dacus n. sp. near Bactrocera tau (listed as D. hageni Meij) and B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae Coq.) (ratio not stated, but it was stated that “ [B. cucurbitae] was the dominant species infesting ampalaya ”). South China From M. charantia collections from July to September 1950 in South China, 435 puparia were recovered, a mix of two predominant species: Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae Coq.) and Bactrocera tau (listed as Dacus nubilus Hendel) (ratio not stated).

Sri Lanka (referred to as Ceylon) Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) puparia recovered from M. charantia collections in Sri Lanka were shipped to Hawaii during August and September 1951. Cunningham and Steiner 1972: Hawaii Island, Hawaii, U. S. A. Ripe M. charantia fruits (14,220) were collected from scattered patches in a young macadamia nut orchard on the western slopes of the Island of Hawaii throughout the course of a male annihilation trial against B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Fruits were held over sand until all infesting larvae had left the fruits and entered the sand for pupation. Fruit infestation averaged 2.7 B. cucurbitae / fruit and did not show any meaningful decrease in infestation rate over the course of the male annihilation trial. Dhillon et al. 2005 b: Hisar, State of Haryana, India During July 2001 to June 2002, 6 varieties (“ wild genotypes) of Momordica charantia var. muricata (Note: this is not listed in GRIN; The Plant List reports this as a synonym of Momordica charantia) were naturally infested by melon fly over two growing seasons (rainy and summer) for an overall average of 4.5 larvae per fruit (ranging from 3.8 – 5.1 larvae per fruit) and an infestation rate of 10.6 % (ranging from 8.3 – 12.6 %). Total number of fruits collected was not given. During July 2001 to March 2002, 11 varieties of Momordica charantia (cultivated genotypes) were naturally infested by melon fly over two growing seasons (rainy and summer) for an overall average of 6.09 larvae per fruit (ranging from 4.1 – 8.0 larvae per fruit) and an infestation rate of 38.25 % (ranging from 18.9 – 69.5 %). Percentage infestation and larval density per fruit were positively and significantly correlated with rib depth, flesh thickness, fruit diameter and fruit length, but negatively correlated with fruit toughness. Percentage infestation was also negatively correlated with the number of ribs / cm 2. Total number of fruits collected was not given. Fernando and Udurawana 1941: Sri Lanka Five (5) varieties of Momordica charantia, four from the Central Division (CD) and one from the North-Western Division (NWD), were tested for resistance to B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) at the Vegetable Seed Station in Matale, Sri Lanka (referred to as Ceylon) over two maha and one yala seasons from 1938 to 1940. Total number of fruits, total fruit weight (kg), number of damaged, and percentage damage by variety were as follows: ‘ CD green rough’: (8,411 fruits, 473.32 kg, 758 infested fruits, 9.01 % infested); ‘ CD green smooth’: (5,608 fruits, 336.11 kg, 715 infested fruits, 12.75 % infested), ‘ CD white rough’: (6,577 fruits, 355.16 kg, 811 infested fruits, 12.33 % infested), ‘ CD white smooth’: (3,381 fruits, 192.32 kg, 624 infested fruits, 18.46 % infested), ‘ NWD white smooth’: (1,860 fruits, 184.39 kg, 680 infested fruits, 36.56 % infested). + Froggatt 1909: Central or North-Western India Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was recovered from maggot-infested M. charantia fruits (listed as bitter gourds) from gardens in Central or North-Western India. No infestation rate data were given. Gogi et al. 2009: Harappa and Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan Thirteen (13) varieties of Momordica charantia (‘ Col-II, ’ ‘ FSD-long, ’ ‘ Col-Nankana sahib, ’ ‘ Col-I, ’ ‘ GS- 51, ’ ‘ Col-III, ’ ‘ Col-Multan, ’ ‘ Col-Vehari, ’ ‘ Chaman, ’ ‘ Sunder-F 1, ’ ‘ Janpuri, ’ ‘ F 1 - 484 ’ and ‘ F 1 - 485 ’) were sown by seed in April 2005, in a randomized complete block design (3 replications per variety) in fields at Harappa and at Faisalabad in Punjab, Pakistan. Fruits were picked five times at each location, starting in June 2005. Ten (10) fruits from each variety from each location at each picking were randomly selected and observed to determine which were infested by B. cucurbitae and the number of larvae present in each infested fruit. Fruit infestation averaged 55.9 % (range: 18.7 – 75.3 %) and 54.6 % (range: 16.7 – 73.3 %) while mean larval density averaged 6.6 (range: 2.4 – 9.3) and 6.8 (range: 2.4 – 9.4) at Harappa and Faisalabad, respectively. ‘ Col-II’ and ‘ FSD-long’ were the most resistant genotypes to infestation by B. cucurbitae while ‘ Janpuri, ’ ‘ F 1 - 484 ’ and ‘ F 1 - 485 ’ were the most susceptible. Gogi et al. 2010 a: Harappa and Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan Six varieties of Momordica charantia, selected from the trial reported in Gogi et al. (2009; and reported again in this paper) (‘ Col-II, ’ ‘ FSD-long, ’ ‘ Col-Nankana sahib, ’ ‘ Col-I, ’ ‘ Col-Vehari, ’ and ‘ Chaman’) were sown by seed in 2006, in a randomized complete block design (three replications per variety) in fields at Harappa and at Faisalabad in Punjab, Pakistan. Fruits were picked five times at each location. Ten (10) fruits from each variety from each location at each picking were randomly selected and observed to determine which were infested by B. cucurbitae and the number of larvae present in each infested fruit. Biophysical features that might confer resistance to infestation by B. cucurbitae were also measured for each variety. Fruit infestation averaged 48.1 % (range: 17.9 – 77.9 %) and 48.4 % (range: 17.5 – 78.5 %) while mean larval density per fruit averaged 5.5 (range: 1.3 – 9.8) and 5.0 (range: 1.5 – 8.4) at Harappa and Faisalabad, respectively. Biophysical fruit traits associated with lower infestation rates and lower larval density per fruit were (in decreasing order of importance): fruit toughness, fruit diameter, and number of longitudinal ribs. Gogi et al. 2010 b: Faisalabad and Harappa, State of Punjab, Pakistan Biochemical fruit traits were also measured for the M. charantia fruits in the study reported in Gogi 2010 a. The authors reported that total chlorophyll and pH of fruits had a significant positive correlation, while tannin, flavanol, phenol, ash and silica contents had a significant negative correlation with % fruit infestation by B. cucurbitae and larval B. cucurbitae density per fruit. Gogi et al. 2014: Faisalabad and Harappa, State of Punjab, Pakistan Momordica charantia cultivar ‘ green long’ was sown at the campus research area of the University of Agriculture at Faisalabad in 2005 and at Harappa in 2006 to test the effect of sowing time, plant-to-plant distance, sowing method and sanitation on infestation by B. cucurbitae. Five pickings were done in each planting and fruits were observed to determine which were infested by B. cucurbitae and the number of larvae present in each infested fruit. All four tested factors had significant effects on the percentage infestation by B. cucurbitae. Across all treatments, the average percentage infestation ranged from about 10.0 to 72.0 %.

From July 1990 to October 1992, 11 ripe “ on vine ” or ground M. charantia abbreviata fruits (0.034 kg) (listed as Momordica charantia L. var. abbreviata Ser. with intent to reference the “ weedy ” form) were collected once or twice a month from several sites on Maui Island, Hawaii. Fruits were weighed, counted, and held over sand in plastic buckets at 19 – 24 ° C until pupation (2 weeks). Bactrocera cucurbitae larvae and pupae were recovered from infested M. charantia fruits with an overall infestation rate of 2.00 larvae and pupae per fruit (647.06 larvae and pupae / kg fruit). Mandal et al. 2006: Pusa, State of Bihar, India Momordica charantia was sown in six random blocks in February 2000 in the experimental farm of Rajendra Agricultural University, Pusa, Bihar. Twenty-five (25) randomly selected fruits were collected weekly from each block starting on 4 April and continuing to 28 June (13 collections) to determine the percentage of fruits infested by B. cucurbitae. Overall, infestation of M. charantia fruits by B. cucurbitae averaged 35.0 % (range: 24.6 – 46.3 %). + Mathew et al. 1999: Vellanikkara, State of Kerala, India Wilted M. charantia (listed as bittergourd) vines were observed in the vegetable fields of Kerala Horticulture Development Programme, Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikkara. Maggots were found in a rotten area of the vine. The maggots were reared and adult B. cucurbitae emerged. No infestation rate was reported. + Mote 1975: Rahuri, State of Maharashtra, India Momordica charantia plants (listed as bitter gourd) were set out in the kharif season, and again in the summer season, in Rahuri, India, in a randomized block design with three replicates, to test the effectiveness of different insecticides in reducing infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). The percentage of fruits infested by B. cucurbitae was calculated after making observations on infested and healthy fruits at each picking. Averages of 44.71 % and 49.17 % of M. charantia fruits (in the untreated control) were infested by B. cucurbitae in the kharif and summer seasons, respectively. Mwatawala et al. 2010: Morogoro Region, Central Tanzania Fifty-eight (58) immature M. charantia fruits (0.588 kg) were collected at irregular intervals between October 2004 and April 2008, from the Morogoro Region of Tanzania. Fruits were held in individual rearing boxes provided with appropriate medium for pupariation of infesting tephritid fruit flies. Emerged adults were removed and identified. Bactrocera cucurbitae flies were recovered from 2 of 4 collections (50 %), with an overall infestation rate of 86.73 flies / kg fruit and 277.17 flies / kg infested fruit. Nakagawa et al. 1967: Hawaii, U. S. A. Wild M. charantia fruits were heavily infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Out of 5,269 mature green to ripe fruits collected in Honomalino, South Kona, Hawaii Island, 7,667 pupae were recovered, most of which were (presumably) B. cucurbitae, but some recovery of the parasitoid, Tetrastichus giffardianus Silvestri, suggests that some B. dorsalis infestation was also present. Narayana et al. 1957: Yenamalakuduru, State of Andhra Pradesh, India Momordica charantia var. ‘ Nelakakara’ was cultivated from 1954 to 1955 and again from 1955 to 1956 in a randomized and replicated block layout in order to test the effectiveness of insecticidal treatments in reducing infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). The percentage of fruits infested by B. cucurbitae was assessed in fruits collected after each of two spray treatments spaced 3 weeks apart. Average percentage infestation in the untreated control plot was 26.9 % in the 1954 to 1955 trials (range: 21.6 – 34.2 %) and 35.4 % in the 1955 – 1956 trials (range: 34.5 – 36.2 %). Nath and Bhushan 2006: Varanasi, State of Uttar Pradesh, India Momordica charantia was sown, with three replications, in Varanasi, India, the last week of March (summer season) and again the last week of June (rainy season) in both 2001 and 2002. Percentage infestation by B. cucurbitae averaged 28.6 % (range: 26.1 – 31.0 %) in the summer season and 46.0 % (range: 45.3 – 46.8 %) in the rainy season. Nishida 1955: Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. Infested M. charantia fruits, with nearly full grown B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) larvae, were collected at cultivated areas in the area of Waianae on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii between 1950 and 1951. Larvae were extracted from fruits and placed in small wax paper cups containing pumpkin pulp. The cups were placed on sand in jars in which a high humidity was maintained. Seventy-three (73) B. cucurbitae larvae were recovered from the fruits. Number of fruits and infestation rate data were not given. Pal et al. 1984: Bangalore, State of Karnataka, India Multiple cultivars of M. charantia were grown from seed collected from six states in India (with one cultivar from the U. S. A.). Three replicates of 10 plants each were grown of each cultivar in Bangalore, India. Fruits from all replicates were combined for the determination of the percentage of fruits infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Field trials were conducted in four separate seasons (summer, rains and winter 1976, and summer 1977). Cultivars that showed promise in resistance to infestation were tested further in cage studies (see results of these trials under laboratory infestation results below). Average percentage infestation among 17 cultivars tested in summer 1976 was 42.2 % (range: 0.0 – 70.0 %). Average percentage infestation among 41 cultivars tested in rains 1976 was 32.6 % (range: 0.0 – 75.0 %). Average percentage infestation among 44 cultivars tested in winter 1976 was 31.5 % (range: 0.0 – 72.0 %). Average percentage infestation among 45 cultivars tested in summer 1977 was 38.1 % (range: 0.0 – 73.0 %). + Pali 1963: New Delhi, India (authors state that the trial was conducted in California, U. S. A., but this does not seem possible) In a test in 1957 of the relative effectiveness of the application of four insecticides (mixed with sugar and protein hydrolysate) to corn borders on reduction of infestation of M. charantia fruits (listed as bitter gourd) by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae), 500 fruits, at five places in each plot, were assessed for infestation and percentage infestation calculated after each of four sprays. Following each count, the infested fruits from all plots were removed. Recorded percentage infestations in the untreated control plot were 37.5 % (15 June), 37.9 % (30 June), 59.6 % (15 July), and 62.3 % (30 July), for an overall average of 49.3 %. + Pareek and Kavadia 1994: Jobner and Udaipur, State of Rajasthan, India Momordica charantia fruits (listed as bitter gourd, variety ‘ Pusa domousmi’) were grown in a randomized block design with nine other cucurbit crops (each with three replicated plots) for assessment of preference of B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). The trials were conducted from February to June in 1979, and again in 1981, in Udaipur (semi-humid agroclimatic conditions) and in 1980 and 1981 in Jobner (semi-arid agroclimatic condition). Fruits were harvested twice a week, examined for fruit fly damage, and then percentage of fruits infested by B. cucurbitae calculated. Percentage infestation averaged 78.4 % (range: 78.0 – 78.8 %) in Udaipur and 75.1 % (range: 73.5 – 76.7 %) in Jobner. Prabhakar et al. 2012: State of Himachal Pradesh, India Infested M. charantia fruits were collected from three districts of the State of Himalchal Pradesh in India from 25 May to 3 September 2009. Fruits from each location were held in separate rearing cages under laboratory conditions in Palampur. Emerging tephritid fruit flies were identified following adult emergence. Adult B. cucurbitae were recovered from M. charantia fruits collected in Hamirpur, Kangra and Mandi Districts. Pradhan 1977: Nepal Momordica charantia (listed as Mimordica charantia) was planted by seed in Nepal in four separate plots (four replicates) during the first week of April in 1974 and again in 1975. Daily counts were made of infestation of flowers and then of fruits by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae). Infested flowers and fruits were detached and thrown to the ground after observations were completed. Infestation rate of fruits averaged 34.20 % (range: 27.3 – 49.3 %) in 1974 and 24.10 % (range: 21.6 – 28.1 %) in 1975. Quilici et al. 2004: Réunion Island, France From 1996 to 2001, 1,068 M. charantia fruits were collected on Réunion Island, France, mostly from non-cultivated areas so that fruits could be obtained from pesticide-free areas. Fruits were weighed, counted and held in a laboratory at 25 ± 1 ° C, 80 ± 10 % RH and 12: 12 (L: D) h until pupation. Pupae were transferred to small plastic boxes until adult emergence. Two thousand one hundred and nineteen (2,119) tephritid fruit flies were recovered, which included a mixture of B. cucurbitae and Dacus ciliatus (numbers of each species not specified).

The sand was sieved daily and recovered pupae were held in Petri plates until adult emergence. Nineteen (19) B. cucurbitae adults were recovered from 15.8 kg of M. charantia fruits overall. Bactrocera cucurbitae adults were recovered from 1 of 6 collections (16.7 %), with a collection average of 2.44 adults recovered per kg fruit. + Raghuvanshi et al. 2008: Varanasi, State of Uttar Pradesh, India In a test of the effectiveness of trapping methods for control of B. cucurbitae infestation, M. charantia (listed as bitter gourd, cv. ‘ Faizabadi’) was sown in randomized block design plots with three replications in Varanasi in “ kharif ” seasons (June / July – September / October) in 2003 and again in 2004. Fruits were picked weekly and percentage of infested (“ damaged ”) fruits calculated. Weekly percentage infestation averaged 49.87 % (range: 30.70 – 72.73 %) and 53.07 % (range: 34.50 – 73.25 %) in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Ramadan and Messing 2003: Thailand Three (3) collections of immature wild M. charantia fruits (0.75 kg) with oviposition scars or signs of larval infestation were made in 1996 from three localities in Thailand (Rattaphum, Betong, Narathiwat) and 4 collections of immature and mature cultivated M. charantia fruits (14.5 kg) with oviposition scars or signs of larval infestation were made in 1996 from four localities in Thailand (Malakino, Nakhon Pathom, Ratchaburi, Chiang Mai [near Mae-Jo]). Fruits were held over sawdust, which was subsequently sifted for recovery of tephritid fruit fly puparia. Fifty-six (56) adult B. cucurbitae were recovered from the wild M. charantia fruits, for an infestation rate of 74.7 adult B. cucurbitae per kg wild M. charantia fruits.

Shivayya and Kumar 2008 b: Bangalore, State of Karnataka, India To assess the seasonal population fluctuation of B. cucurbitae, M. charantia was sown at Sulivara and Rajanukunte villages at the outskirts of Bangalore starting in March 2003. Sowing was staggered so that fruits would be available for B. cucurbitae flies throughout the year. Percentage infestation of fruits by B. cucurbitae was determined (by observation) in fruits picked monthly, commencing 72 – 75 days after sowing. Bactrocera cucurbitae - infested fruits from each picking were brought to the laboratory and held over moist sand in plastic trays, for recovery of pupae. At Sulivara, the monthly infestation rate averaged 27.6 % (range: 12.0 – 52.1 %) and the average number of pupae per infested fruit averaged 11.4 (range: 10.8 – 11.8 pupae per infested fruit). At Rajanukunte, the monthly infestation rate averaged 27.9 % (range: 14.5 - 43.4 %) and the average number of pupae per infested fruit averaged 11.5 (range: 10.8 – 12.5 pupae per infested fruit). + Singh et al. 2000: Kanpur, State of Uttar Pradesh, India Momordica charantia fruits (listed as bitter gourd) were collected weekly at growers’ fields at the bank of the river Ganga in Kanpur beginning in February 1997.

Stonehouse et al. 2007: Anand, State of Gujarat; Thrissur, State of Kerala; Bhubaneswar, State of Odisha, India In a study comparing the effectiveness of protein bait spray applications for control of tephritid fruit fly infestation in M. charantia fruits at the farm level versus the village level (defined to be 1.0 km 2) in Anand, Thrissur, and Bhubaneswar, India, between 3 and 12 harvests of M. charantia fruits were made in each of 2 years at farms with varying extent of bait spray application. Percentage infestation was determined based either on visual examination of fruit to detect oviposition or by rearing out adult flies in the laboratory. On two farms in each of Anand, Thrissur, and Bhubaneswar where no bait spray was applied, averages of 9.4, 12.4 and 19.4 %, respectively, of the fruits were infested. Infestation was primarily by B. cucurbitae, but was accompanied in some cases by a minority of other species.

Tewatia and Dhankhar 1996: Hisar, State of Haryana, India For a study of the inheritance of resistance in M. charantia fruits to infestation by B. cucurbitae, crosses were made using two resistant varieties (‘ Faizabad Collection 17 ’ and ‘ Kerala Collection 1 ’) and two highly susceptible varieties (‘ Puso do Mausami’ and ‘ Arka Harir’): ‘ Arka Harit’ × ‘ Kerala Collection 1 ’ and ‘ Faizabad Collection 17 ’ × ‘ Puso do Mausami’. The parents, F 1, F 2 and backcross generations were all sown in unsprayed fields in Hisar in August 1993 in a compact family-block design with three replications. Marketable stage M. charantia fruits were harvested at 4 - day intervals and dissected to assess the damage by B. cucurbitae. Infestation rates in the parental varieties were 84.39, 14.44, 14.68 and 83.85 %, respectively, with the infestation rates in the F 1 generation similar to those found in the resistant parents (14.59 and 15.14 % in the two crosses, respectively) showing that resistance to B. cucurbitae infestation is dominant over susceptibility. Thakur et al. 1994: Ludhiana, State of Punjab, India In a stability analysis study, 10 cultivars of M. charantia were sown the second week of March in each of 3 years (1989 – 1991) in Ludhiana in a randomized block design with three replications.

Lab Infestation: Agarwal and Yazdani 1991: One hundred (100) eggs, collected from adult B. cucurbitae flies (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) which emerged from field-infested Luffa aegyptiaca Mill. fruits (listed as Luffa cylindrica), were inserted in a triangular cut in a Momordica charantia fruit (four replications) and held at 29.85 ± 8.33 ° C and 61.72 ± 22.05 % RH. An average of 73 % survived from larval stage to adult emergence. Akter et al. 2010: In a laboratory host preference study conducted in Bangladesh during 2005 to 2006, 250 g M. charantia, along with 250 g of each of 5 other vegetables (Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita maxima, Solanum lycopersicum var. lycopersicum, S. melongena, and Trichosanthes cucumerina), were simultaneously exposed to one hundred (100) 15 – 20 - day-old gravid female B. cucurbitae flies for 3 hours, then placed over saw dust. The saw dust was sieved to recover pupae which were transferred to Petri dishes and held until adult emergence. The trial was replicated five times. Recovery of B. cucurbitae pupae and adults averaged 258 ± 53.66 and 233 ± 44.03, respectively (1,032 and 932 per kg fruit, respectively). The order of adult recovery (greatest to smallest) was: S. melongena> T. cucumerina> C. maxima> C. sativus> M. charantia> S. lycopersicum. Amin et al. 2011: Bactrocera cucurbitae larvae and B. cucurbitae - infested M. charantia fruits were collected from a field at the Entomology Farm Laboratory, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, in Dinajpur, Bangladesh and held in jars in a laboratory at 25 ± 2 ° C, 60 ± 5 % RH and a 12: 12 (L: D) h photoperiod. Adult male and female B. cucurbitae that emerged were kept in the same jar and provided fresh M. charantia fruit for oviposition. Larvae, pupae and adults that emerged from these stock cultures were used for observation of B. cucurbitae life history parameters. Bains and Sidhu 1984: Newly emerged B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were placed on cut pieces of M. charantia and held in Petri plates having moist blotting paper on the bottom. Larval survival to pupation was 77.5 %. Doharey 1983: Bactrocera cucurbitae was maintained on bitter gourd (Momordica charantia). Eggs laid in fruits were removed daily and placed on sterilized sand in glass rearing jars. Freshly formed pupae were transferred to smaller glass jars and held on sterile sand until adult emergence. Holding temperature was 27 ± 1 ° C. The incubation period on bitter gourd averaged 4.0 days, the larval period averaged 3.8 days, and the pupal period averaged 7.0 days, totaling 14.8 days from egg to adult. + Fang 1989: In tests of the effectiveness of different bagging materials on infestation of M. charantia fruits (listed as bitter gourd) by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae), 60 out of 200 control fruits (30.0 %) were infested by B. cucurbitae. + Gupta and Verma 1995: A cohort of 50 B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) newly emerged maggots was placed on a small slice of M. charantia fruit (listed as bitter gourd) kept in a Petri dish. Maggots were shifted daily to a new slice and mortality was recorded. Mature larvae were allowed to burrow into sand for pupation and, after 6 days, pupae were recovered and placed in plastic tubes until eclosion. Average adult survivorship from newly emerged larvae placed on bitter gourd was 60 %, which was greater than on cucumber (C. sativus) (54 %) or on sponge gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca) (44 %). Iwaizumi et al. 1994: Intact, mature M. charantia fruits were exposed to 10 gravid female B. cucurbitae for 24 hours in a screen-net cage. An average (over three replications) of 123.3 ± 34.1 adults was recovered. Khan et al. 2011: In a choice test, 50.0 g of M. charantia fruits, along with 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside a small cage, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 202 ± 16.74 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau), 75.24 % (152.0) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae. In a no-choice test, 50.0 g of M. charantia fruits, as well as 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 5 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 5 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside separate small cages, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 48 ± 1.15 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau), 31.25 % (15.0) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae. Koul and Bhagat 1994 b: Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) was used to rear B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in the lab. Eggs obtained from flies maintained on bottle gourd were placed on a thin slice of tender and fresh M. charantia fruit. Newly emerged B. cucurbitae larvae were transferred to freshly cut M. charantia slices placed in glass tubes for 2 - 5 days and then held over sand (4 cm thick) until pupation. Pupae were sieved daily and individually transferred to glass tubes with a 3 - cm sand layer moistened with water and held until adult emergence. Newly emerged flies were held in glass tubes after pairing, provided with a slice of M. charantia fruit and a cotton plug soaked in 10 % honey solution. Larval duration averaged 3.5 days, compared to 4.2, 4.7, 4.7, and 5.7 days, when reared on Lagenaria siceraria, Cucumis sativus, Benincasa fistulosa and Cucurbita pepo, respectively. No temperature or relative humidity data were provided. + Lall and Singh 1959: Infestation of M. charantia fruits (listed as bitter gourd) by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) in the State of Bihar was observed to be 59.5 %. Pal et al. 1984: Cultivars of M. charantia that showed promise in field trials in resistance to infestation by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (see results of these trials under field infestation results above) were tested further in cage studies in each of three seasons (winter, summer, and rains). Twelve (12) plants of each selected cultivar were grown in insect-proof cages. Four (4) sexually mature, mated B. cucurbitae flies per plant, reared in the laboratory from field-infested M. charantia fruits, were added to the cages when female flowers started to appear. Average percentage infestation among 31 cultivars tested in winter 1977 was 29.7 % (range: 3.3 – 60.0 %). Average percentage infestation among 13 cultivars tested in summer 1978 was 32.0 % (range: 2.2 – 63.2 %). Average percentage infestation among 6 cultivars tested in rains 1978 was 22.6 % (range: 2.6 – 36.1 %). Ponce 1937: Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) was reared in the laboratory on M. charantia fruit. At a mean temperature of 30.36 ° C, the overall larval period lasted 6.50 days, based on “ 14 cultures ” (replications). Rajamannar 1962: Using B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) 1 st instar larvae obtained from eggs oviposited on bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria; listed as L. vulgaris), 81 of 100 (81 %) 1 st instar larvae raised on M. charantia (listed as bitter gourd) pupated, with an average time to pupation of 5.0 days. In a separate test, 68 of 100 (68 %) 1 st instar larvae were found to feed on pieces of M. charantia (an average of 13.6 out of 20 larvae, based on five replicated trials). Saha et al. 2007: The relative quality of seven different B. cucurbitae fruit hosts was assessed by comparing pupal recovery (in F 1 and F 2 generations) following exposure of 500 g of each fruit to 200 gravid B. cucurbitae adults (from laboratory-adapted stock culture) for 30 minutes. For M. charantia, 330 and 379 pupae (660 and 758 pupae / kg fruit) and 271 and 330 adults (541 and 659 adults per kg fruit) were recovered in the F 1 and F 2 generations, respectively. Sarwar et al. 2013: Healthy, undamaged, mature and ripe M. charantia fruits were collected from a local marketplace in Faisalabad, Pakistan. One hundred twenty-five (125) g of fruits were placed in the bottom of a sieve that was suspended from a guava tree (Psidium guajava) in a guava orchard that was not bearing fruits (with three replications). Fruits were left exposed to wild B. cucurbitae flies for 48 hours. Fruits from each replication were placed over sand in muslin cloth-topped plastic containers and held for 2 to 3 weeks. Bactrocera cucurbitae puparia, recovered by sieving the sand, were placed in moist sand in a Petri plate and held for adult emergence. An average of 134.1 B. cucurbitae pupae (1,072.6 pupae / kg fruit) was recovered from which an average of 110.8 adult flies (886.6 adult flies / kg fruit) emerged. Shivashankar et al. 2015: One 1 st instar B. cucurbitae larva, newly emerged from an egg oviposited on a tender Sechium edule fruit, was inserted into a 5 mm diameter by 2 mm deep hole punched into the surface of a freshly harvested tender M. charantia fruit. Fruits were held, in large plastic containers having a thin layer of sand, at the mean ambient temperature and relative humidity of 28.2 ± 1.0 ° C and 58.7 ± 1.0 % RH, respectively. Pupae recovered were transferred to a different container with a thin layer of moist sand for adult emergence. There were ten replications with 10 fruits per replication. An average of 8.47 adult B. cucurbitae emerged per replication.

Naturalized: AFRICA – East Tropical Africa: Tanzania – Pemba. Cultivated: Widely cultivated. Field Infestation: Armstrong 1983 (Note: this is negative data; no B. cucurbitae infestation found): Hawaii, U. S. A. Between 1977 and 1978, ripe culled M. acuminata banana cultivars (a mix of three cultivars: ‘ Brazilian, ’ ‘ Valery, ’ and ‘ William’s’) were collected at 3 - month intervals from cull dumps at banana plantations in Kaneohe and in Waimanalo on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii and held for assessment of infestation by tephritid fruit flies. Sampled bananas were 15 ± 2 days postharvest with about 13 days exposure to natural fly populations. Although cuelure-based trapping had shown B. cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were in the area of both cull dumps, no melon flies were reared from the total of 54.0 kg of cull fruits collected. The author concluded that this result supported a conclusion that bananas are not a host for B. cucurbitae. Lab Infestation: Armstrong 1983: Ten (10) fingers of each of three M. acuminata cultivars (‘ Brazilian, ’ ‘ Valerie, ’ and ‘ William’s’) of each of six ripeness stages (1 = [mature] green; 2 = green with a trace of yellow; 3 = more green than yellow; 4 = more yellow than green; 5 = green tip only; 6 = all yellow) were exposed for 1 hour to about 16,000 laboratory-reared, sexually mature, Bactrocera cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae), B. dorsalis and Ceratitis capitata adults in a 14.5 m 3 screened cage (10 replications per ripeness stage per variety). After exposure, bananas were held on sand in fiberglass boxes for 3 weeks, with pupae removed and placed in glass jars until adult emergence. Averages of numbers of adult B. cucurbitae flies recovered per kg banana were 0.0, 0.0, 0.2, 1.2, 7.0, and 13.0 (‘ Brazilian’), 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.8, 5.1, and 8.4 (‘ Valery’), and 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.1, 7.3, and 9.9 (‘ William’s’) for ripeness stages 1 – 6, respectively.

In the vegetable gardens on the slopes of Mount Tantillus, on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, the author found fruit fly maggots in many ripening P. vulgaris beans (listed as string beans; the maggots were not specifically identified as B. cucurbitae, but the article focused on B. cucurbitae and B. dorsalis was not yet present in Hawaii; it was also not explicitly stated that adult fruit flies were recovered). No infestation rate data were given. + Holdaway 1940: Koko Head, Island of Oahu, Hawaii, U. S. A. On 1, 3 and 5 July 1938, three varieties (‘ Kentucky Wonder, ’ ‘ Lualualei, ’ and ‘ McCaslan’) of P. vulgaris pods (listed as bush, garden, pole or string beans) were picked from two 30 - meter-long rows (for each variety) and the number of pods were counted that showed signs of oviposition by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae Coq.). Overall percentage of pods having oviposition damage was 1.1 % (out of 1,950 pods [14.5 kg]), 8.6 % (out of 5,765 pods [43.3 kg]), and 5.9 % (out of 1,590 pods [12.0 kg]) for the three varieties, respectively. The author also reported that a grower found beans of the variety ‘ Tendergreen’ to be more heavily attacked by B. cucurbitae than the three varieties listed above, but no data were provided for this variety. Nohara and Ichinohe 1980: Japan During 1972 to 1976, collections of 17,934 P. vulgaris pods (114 kg) (varieties ‘ Kentucky wonder’ and ‘ Ohirasaya-shakugosun’) were made on farms on Okinawa Island, Miyako Island, and Ishigaki Island. No B. cucurbitae eggs or larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were recovered. During December 1977 to April 1978, in a follow-up survey of these farms, 17 P. vulgaris pods (of the two varieties listed above + ‘ Shin-edogawa’) were found to be infested by B. cucurbitae out of 150,873 pods (1,063 kg) collected (0.0113 %). Two (2) of the 17 infested P. vulgaris pods were from a lot of 118,271 pods (860 kg) of standard grade pods harvested for interprefectural shipment, while the remaining 15 pods were from 24,704 pods left over residue (144 kg). There was no infestation in the remaining 7,898 pods (58.5 kg) held for within prefecture consumption. In an associated experiement, when 200: 1,000 male: gravid female B. cucurbitae flies were released inside a screen-enclosed field of stringbeans, 0.93 % of the pods were infested. When 5, 10, 100, and 1,000 male / gravid female pairs were released inside screened enclosures, 3.6, 2.7, 9.7, and 39.5 % of stringbean pods were infested. The authors concluded that stringbean pods grown under normal field conditions can be infested by B. cucurbitae if the B. cucurbitae population is high and other more susceptible hosts are not present. Otherwise, infestation of stringbean pods will be “ seldom and incidental. ” + Severin et al. 1914: Hawaii, U. S. A. Twelve (12) infested, green-podded Phaseolus vulgaris beans (listed as string beans) were collected from the field and held in the laboratory. One hundred sixty-five (165) B. cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were recovered for an average of 13.75 flies per pod (range: 4 – 26). + Swezey et al. 1906: Hawaii, U. S. A.

McQuate and Teruya 2015: Southwestern Islands of Japan Before the start of population suppression activities in a B. cucurbitae eradication program, 10,043 S. melongena fruits were collected (73 collections overall) from four islands / island groups (Amami, Miyako, Okinawa, Yaeyama) in Japan and held on sand or sawdust in plastic containers. After 2 to 3 weeks, the sand or sawdust was sieved to recover tephritid fruit fly pupae which were then held for adult emergence and identification. Infestation by B. cucurbitae was found in 1 fruit, giving an average percentage infestation rate (weighted by the number of collections in the islands / island groups) of 0.0144 %. Interception Data: PestID 2016: Hawaii, U. S. A. Bactrocera cucurbitae was recovered by USDA-APHIS-PPQ (“ interceptions ”) from Solanum melongena fruits, originating in Hawaii, at an airport in Hawaii (Honolulu) on three occasions between 2005 and 2009. Average recovery was 13.3 live larvae. Lab Infestation: Akter et al. 2010: In a laboratory host preference study conducted in Bangladesh during 2005 to 2006, 250 g S. melongena, along with 250 g of each of five other vegetables (Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita maxima, Momordica charantia, Solanum lycopersicum var. lycopersicum, and Trichosanthes cucumerina), were simultaneously exposed to 100, 15 – 20 - day-old gravid female B. cucurbitae flies for 3 hours, then placed over saw dust. The saw dust was sieved to recover pupae which were transferred to Petri dishes and held until adult emergence. The trial was replicated five times. Recovery of B. cucurbitae pupae and adults averaged 389 ± 88.79 and 346 ± 83.08, respectively (1,556 and 1,384 per kg fruit, respectively). The order of adult recovery (greatest to smallest) was: S. melongena> T. cucumerina> C. maxima> C. sativus> M. charantia> S. lycopersicum. + Back and Pemberton 1917: Solanum melongena (listed as eggplant) is listed as “ occasionally infested ” by B. cucurbitae. The authors report that, in the laboratory, when sound (undamaged) Solanum melongena fruits were placed in a jar with gravid melon fly females, no eggs were laid in the fruits. However, they also reported that, when 1 eggplant containing a slight decayed spot was placed in a jar with gravid melon fly females, eggs were laid in the decayed area only, from which 9 adult melon flies emerged. Bains and Sidhu 1984: Newly emerged B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) were placed on cut pieces of S. melongena and held in Petri plates having moist blotting paper on the bottom. Larval survival to pupation was 53.9 %. Carey et al. 1985: Fifty (50) newly emerged 1 st generation B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) (4 replications) were added to a small portion of S. melongena fruit (also listed as eggplant) and held at 25 (± 2.0) ° C and 60.0 (± 6.0) % RH in a covered Petri plate, with additional host material added as needed. When some of the larvae approached maturity, the Petri plate was opened and placed in sand in a larger container to allow for pupation. The sand was then sifted daily to recover pupae which were held at the same conditions of temperature and relative humidity. On average, 35 % of the larvae survived to adult emergence, with an average larva to adult development time of 20.2 days. Chawla 1966: In captivity, female B. cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) laid eggs on cut fruits of S. melongena. The eggs hatched out and the development of the larvae proceeded to continue normally through adult emergence. Khan et al. 2011: In a choice test, 50.0 g of S. melongena fruits, along with 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 50 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside a small cage, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 124 ± 6.06 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau), 82.81 % (102.7) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae. In a no-choice test, 50.0 g of S. melongena fruits, as well as 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 5 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. cucurbitae and 5 pairs of 15 – 20 - day-old B. tau inside separate small cages, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 2 ± 2.3 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau), 50.0 % (1.0) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae. Rajamannar 1962: Using B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) 1 st instar larvae obtained from eggs oviposited on bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria; listed as L. vulgaris), 70 of 100 (70 %) 1 st instar larvae raised on S. melongena (listed as eggplant) pupated, with an average time to pupation of 5.0 days. In a separate test, 37 of 100 (37 %) 1 st instar larvae were found to feed on pieces of S. melongena (an average of 7.4 out of 20 larvae, based on five replicated trials). Sarwar et al. 2013: Healthy, undamaged, mature and ripe S. melongena fruits were collected from a local marketplace in Faisalabad, Pakistan. One hundred twenty-five (125) g of fruits were placed in the bottom of a sieve that was suspended from a guava (Psidium guajava) tree in a guava orchard that was not bearing fruits (with three replications). Fruits were left exposed to wild B. cucurbitae flies for 48 hours. Fruits from each replication were placed over sand in muslin cloth topped plastic containers and held for 2 to 3 weeks. Bactrocera cucurbitae puparia, recovered by sieving the sand, were placed in moist sand in a Petri plate and held for adult emergence. An average of 8.25 B. cucurbitae pupae (66.0 pupae / kg fruit) was recovered from which an average of 6.08 adult flies (48.6 adult flies / kg fruit) emerged. + Seo et al. 1973: Solanum melongena fruits (listed as eggplant) were infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae) by exposing fruits to about 50,000 adults for 3 days in an outdoor cage. Twenty-five percent of the exposed fruits were placed in holding boxes and held at 16 – 31 ° C. Surviving pupae were collected and counted. A high number of pupae was recovered and was used to estimate the number of pupae that would have been expected to be present in fruits subjected to irradiation. No infestation rate was given.

Field Infestation: Barma et al. 2013: State of West Bengal, India In order to develop an equation that could be used to predict B. cucurbitae infestation in T. dioica fruits, T. dioica fruits were raised at the Central Research Farm, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Gayeshpur, Nadia, West Bengal, India, over 3 years (2008 – 2010), and the percentage infestation and number of maggots per infested fruit recorded. Bactrocera cucurbitae infestation was found on T. dioica fruits from mid-April (not until early May in 2010) to mid-September, with the average number of B. cucurbitae larvae per fruit ranging from 0.0 to a maximum of 7.09 larvae per fruit in 2008. Maximum average infestation rate approached, but never reached 4.0 in 2009. Bhowmik et al. 2014: Nadia District, State of West Bengal, India Trichosanthes dioica plants were grown, without pesticide application, at three sites in the Nadia District of West Bengal, India. Percentage infestation of T. dioica fruits by B. cucurbitae was determined every 2 weeks, by observation, in 2012 (April – June) and in 2013 (March – May) (nine sampling times each year). Infestation averaged 38.8 % (range: 32.9 – 51.7 %) and 39.1 % (range: 23.8 – 58.9 %) in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
