Refrigeration as a quarantine treatment for fruit infested with eggs and larvae of Anastrepha species
Refrigeration at temperatures of 35 degrees F (1.7 degrees C) or below is an accepted alternative treatment for fruit infested by fruit fly eggs and larvae. Research in support of this treatment was conducted in Puerto Rico using rose apples, guava, grapefruit, and malay apple naturally infested predominantly by Anastrepha suspensa (Loew) larvae and mango and hog plum infested by A. obliqua (Macquart) larvae. Mortality of fruit fly larvae was determined when fruit was stored at 32, 34 and 36 grades F (0.0, 1.1 and 2.2 degrees C) for up to 18 days. Probit analyses of these data showed that 12, 16, and 21 days storage at 32, 34 and 36 degrees F, respectively, would give quarantine security (99.9968 per cent mortality) of Anastrepha infestations
