Ceratitis capitata
Ceratitis capitata, the Mediterranean fruit fly, or medfly for short, is a species of fruit fly capable of causing extensive damage to a wide range of fruit crops. It is native to the Mediterranean area, but has spread invasively to many parts of the world, including Australasia, adult medflies lay their eggs under the skins of fruit, particularly where the skin is already broken. The eggs hatch within three days, and the larvae develop inside the fruit, maggots may stay from 5 to 10 days. Depending on temperature adult emergence may occur in as short as 7 days, the adults have a limited ability to disperse, but the global fruit trade can transport infected fruit over thousands of miles. Sex determination in C. capitata is by the familiar XY system, unusually for a dipteran and for a frugivore, medflies do not have an opsin gene for blue light perception as shown from the whole-genome sequencing project completed in September 2016. The Geographic Distribution Map of Ceratitis capitata and this updated map provides information on the distribution of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata, throughout the world.
The information is based on available Mediterranean fruit fly national surveillance reports. Therefore, the map displays assessments of the presence of this pest at the national level, in the United States, C. capitata has invaded four states, but has been eradicated from all but Hawaii. Reintroduced populations of the medfly have been spotted in California as recently as mid September 2009, requiring additional eradication and it has been eradicated from New Zealand and Chile. Much research has been dedicated to means of controlling the medfly, in particular, use of the sterile insect technique has allowed the species to be eradicated from several areas. In 1981, California Governor Jerry Brown, who had established a reputation as a strong environmentalist, was confronted with a serious medfly infestation in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was advised by the agricultural industry, and the US Department of Agricultures Animal and Plant Health Inspection service. Initially, in accordance with his environmental protection stance, he chose to authorize ground-level spraying only, the infestation spread as the medfly reproductive cycle out-paced the spraying.
After more than a month, millions of dollars of crops had been destroyed, Governor Brown authorized a massive response to the infestation. Fleets of helicopters sprayed malathion at night, and the California National Guard set up highway checkpoints, in the final stage of the campaign, entomologists released millions of sterile male medflies in an attempt to disrupt the insects reproductive cycle. Ultimately the infestation was eradicated, but both the Governors delay and the scale of the action has remained ever since. Some people claimed that malathion was toxic to humans, as well as insects, in response to such concerns, Browns chief of staff, B. T. Collins, staged a news conference during which he publicly drank a small glass of malathion. Many people complained that, while the malathion may not have been toxic to humans
