Résumé : The Medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), is a highly polyphagous pest of economic importance on Réunion Island as in many other parts of the world. Using a flight tunnel, a study was conducted on the response of C. capitata females to volatile compounds emitted by different host plants. Results confirm that the odours of host fruit play an important role in the female host-plant location behaviour. The response varied depending on fruit species: guava (Psidium guayava L.), citrus (Citrus spp.), coffee (Coffea arabica L.), chilli (Capsicum frutescens L.), Indian almond (Terminalia catappa L.) and Spanish cherry (Mimusops elengi L.). Host plant leaves also induced a weaker response and a limited attractiveness of non-host fruit odour was also shown.
