Apilactobacillus intestinapis: A bacterium with potential benefits in mass-reared Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae) for SIT purposes
This study demonstrates that supplementing the diet of mass-reared *Anastrepha obliqua* with the safe bacterium *Apilactobacillus intestinapis* enhances both the sexual competitiveness of males fed sugar and the overall survival and life expectancy of adults, suggesting its potential utility in improving Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs.
