Introduction

If u look at the fruitflies u will see the ovipositor is injected to the fruit.
This is transfering of eggs to the fruit.

¢ Pests

—Example: fruitflies that infested fruit
¢Bactrocera cucurbitae-melon, cucumber and tomato crops
¢Bactrocera dorsalis-pear, peach, apricot, fig,manggos,citrus
'¢Bactrocera oleae- olive
¢Bactrocera papaya-papaya
¢Bactrocera carambola-star fruit

—Malaysia more 400 species of Bractocera
—Example: fruitflies that infested fruit
¢Bactrocera cucurbitae-melon, cucumber and tomato crops
¢Bactrocera dorsalis-pear, peach, apricot, fig,manggos,citrus
¢Bactrocera oleae- olive
¢Bactrocera papaya-papaya
¢Bactrocera carambola-star fruit
—Malaysia more 400 species of Bractocera

¢Effect of insecticide

—Contamination to environment

—Destroy biodiversity on animal (DDT or Organochlorine)

¢Higher level of food chain( e.g. eagle, human)

¢Biological control

—Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Opiinae

¢All members of opiines species endoparasitoids to cyclorraphous Diptera

¢Suitable compare to other Hymenoptera (Rationale) -

—shows degree of host specificity in term of species number that are parasitized (Wharton, 1997)

— opiines species generally parasitize multiple species of fruit flies and sometimes different number of different

genera according to their host suitability and also larval development (Ero, 2009)

¢The basic information for the biology of many opiines species is still inadequate and small number of the species have been using as biological control agents without knowing detail on the parasitization process according to the pests and parasitoids

¢Using molecular analysis

Expected resultS

1.At which larval stages of the fruit fly is parasitized by the opiines

2.Species of fruit flies and braconids species are determined by using molecular data (two markers; 28S and ND1)

3.The crop or fruit species (as hosts) infested by each fruitfly species is confirmed

Poster Presentation for ISENAR

New Mission(Braconids)

Salam Mira dan Tun,

Minta draftkan full paper untuk NHC yang mira attend tempohari...
(saya, mira, tun, prof idris, dr roff dan suhana as co-author)

May be Mira boleh beri Tun, infonya dan Tun buat dulu, then yang lain-lain.

Mira dah gi present posternya dan kita kena come out with paper
(present preliminary result)

fruitflies larvae.....

Saya beri due date on 21 November 2011.

Boleh masukkan gambar buah, dan early prevoius study on that field
(please refer the abstract in the programme book)
