TL;DR: Gut bacteria of fruit fly, Bactrocera tau (Walker) (Diptera: Tephritidae), were isolated and the isolates attractive to B. tau adults were characterized using morphological, biochemical and 16S rRNA analyses to determine their taxonomic position.

Population genetic structure of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase ( COI ) gene sequences
TL;DR: The present study indicated that the B. cucurbitae population expansion is an event of post Pleistocene warm climatic conditions with small number of founder population and the global presence of the fly is associated with human mediated dispersal.

Molecular and biochemical characterization of three bacterial symbionts of fruit fly, Bactrocera tau (Tephritidae: Diptera).
TL;DR: Characterization of three bacterial symbionts of fruit fly Bactrocera tau including morphological, biochemical and 16S rDNA (rrs gene) analysis was done to determine their taxonomic position and placed two bacteria into family Enterobacteriaceae and the third into family Staphylococcaceae.

Effect of botanical extracts on the biological activity of granulosis virus against Pieris brassicae.
TL;DR: The studies suggest that the PbGV in combination with botanical pesticides could be more useful as a bio-pesticide against cabbage butterfly (P. brassicae) in IPM programs.

TL;DR: A pictorial key for 13 species of fruit flies under 2 genera namely Bactrocera and Dacus of subfamily Dacinae (Diptera: Tephritidae) is presented in this paper based on actual photographs of fruit fly collected from north western Himalaya of India during 2009-2010.
