Abstract : Ceratitis capitata is a highly polyphagous species whose larvae develop in a very wide range of unrelated fruits. Its important hosts include apples (Malus pumila), avocados (Persea americana), Citrus spp., figs (Ficus carica), kiwifruits (Actinidia deliciosa), mangoes (Mangifera indica), medlars (Mespilus germanica), pears (Pyrus communis), and Prunus spp. (especially peaches, P. persica). This standard describes a diagnostic protocol for C. capitata. The protocol includes detection on fruits, detection of adults, and morphological and molecular biological identification.
