Attractant potential of <i>Enterobacter cloacae</i> and its metabolites to <i>Bactrocera dorsalis</i> (Hendel).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) has a wide host range. It has been the most important quarantine pest in many countries or regions. Currently, chemical control and bait trapping are mainly used in the monitoring, prevention, and control of B. dorsalis. However, chemical control will cause pollution of the environment and drug resistance of insects. Methyl eugenol, the main attractant currently used, can only attract males of B. dorsalis.

Methods

This study focused on the attractant function and active substances of one key intestinal bacterium, Enterobacter cloacae, which was isolated from B. dorsalis.

Results

First, the attraction of the E. cloacae autoclaved supernatant to male and female adults of 0, 6, and 15 days p
