Prunus persica (listed as peach) was listed as “occasionally infested” by B. cucurbitae . The authors reported that they yielded a single fly from peaches in 1914. The authors, though, further noted that this is one of several fruits that has “never been known to serve regularly” as a melon fly host and that this record of infestation “must be considered as exceptional.”

However, they also reported that, when 1 eggplant containing a slight decayed spot was placed in a jar with gravid melon fly females, eggs were laid in the decayed area only, from which 9 adult melon flies emerged.
Bains and Sidhu 1984:
Newly emerged B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae ) were placed on cut pieces of S. melongena and held in Petri plates having moist blotting paper on the bottom. Larval survival to pupation was 53.9%.
Carey et al. 1985:
Fifty (50) newly emerged 1 st generation B. cucurbitae larvae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae ) (4 replications) were added to a small portion of S. melongena fruit (also listed as eggplant) and held at 25 (±2.0)°C and 60.0 (±6.0)% RH in a covered Petri plate, with additional host material added as needed. When some of the larvae approached maturity, the Petri plate was opened and placed in sand in a larger container to allow for pupation. The sand was then sifted daily to recover pupae which were held at the same conditions of temperature and relative humidity. On average, 35% of the larvae survived to adult emergence, with an average larva to adult development time of 20.2 days.
Chawla 1966:
In captivity, female B. cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae ) laid eggs on cut fruits of S. melongena . The eggs hatched out and the development of the larvae proceeded to continue normally through adult emergence.
Khan et al. 2011:
In a choice test, 50.0 g of S. melongena fruits, along with 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 50 pairs of 15–20-day-old B. cucurbitae and 50 pairs of 15–20-day-old B. tau inside a small cage, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 124±6.06 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau ), 82.81% (102.7) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae .
In a no-choice test, 50.0 g of S. melongena fruits, as well as 50.0 g of each of eight other natural hosts, were exposed for 20 minutes to 5 pairs of 15–20-day-old B. cucurbitae and 5 pairs of 15–20-day-old B. tau inside separate small cages, after which fruit samples were removed and placed separately on sawdust inside a cloth-covered plastic bowl for pupation. The sawdust was sieved after 6 to 8 days to recover pupae (of both fly species) which were held for adult emergence. Out of a mean infestation of 2±2.3 pupae recovered (mixed infestation of B. cucurbitae and B. tau ), 50.0% (1.0) of the recovered pupae emerged as adult B. cucurbitae .
Rajamannar 1962:
Using B. cucurbitae (listed as Dacus cucurbitae ) 1 st instar larvae obtained from eggs oviposited on bottle gourd ( Lagenaria siceraria ; listed as L. vulgaris ), 70 of 100 (70%) 1 st instar larvae raised on S. melongena (listed as eggplant) pupated, with an average time to pupation of 5.0 days. In a separate test, 37 of 100 (37%) 1 st instar larvae were found to feed on pieces of S. melongena (an average of 7.4 out of 20 larvae, based on five replicated trials).
Sarwar et al. 2013:
Healthy, undamaged, mature and ripe S. melongena fruits were collected from a local marketplace in Faisalabad, Pakistan. One hundred twenty-five (125) g of fruits were placed in the bottom of a sieve that was suspended from a guava ( Psidium guajava ) tree in a guava orchard that was not bearing fruits (with three replications). Fruits were left exposed to wild B. cucurbitae flies for 48 hours. Fruits from each replication were placed over sand in muslin cloth topped plastic containers and held for 2 to 3 weeks. Bactrocera cucurbitae puparia, recovered by sieving the sand, were placed in moist sand in a Petri plate and held for adult emergence. An average of 8.25 B. cucurbitae pupae (66.0 pupae/kg fruit) was recovered from which an average of 6.08 adult flies (48.6 adult flies/kg fruit) emerged.
+ Seo et al. 1973:
Solanum melongena fruits (listed as eggplant) were infested by B. cucurbitae (listed as
Dacus cucurbitae ) by exposing fruits to about 50,000 adults for 3 days in an outdoor cage. Twenty-five percent of the exposed fruits were placed in holding boxes and held at 16–31°C. Surviving pupae were collected and counted. A high number of pupae was recovered and was used to estimate the number of pupae that would have been expected to be present in fruits subjected to irradiation. No infestation rate was given.

The author reported that B. cucurbitae adults (listed as Dacus cucurbitae ) oviposit readily in punctured, raw S. tuberosum tubers (listed as Irish potatoes). It was noted, however, that “The typical quick-healing property of potatoes caused a ‘corking-over’ of the egg cavity, sealing out the very low percentage of hatching larvae.” No data were reported on any survival beyond initial egg hatch.

Fifty (50) V. corymbosum cv. “Bluecrop” fruits (average of 79.9 g), force-infested by 50
gravid female B. cucurbitae in an outdoor screen cage for 6 hours (twelve replicates), yielded an average (±standard error) of 7.2 (±3.8) puparia, equivalent to 90 (±40) pupae/kg fruit, with 12.7 (±7.6)% adult emergence from the puparia. In another experiment, fifty (50) V. corymbosum cv. “Berkeley” fruits (average of 67.6 g), force-infested by 50 gravid female B. cucurbitae in an outdoor screen cage for 6 hours (eight replicates), yielded no puparia.

Fruit of 11 southern highbush blueberry cultivars ( V. corymbosum ) grown at Mealani
Experiment Station (University of Hawaii, Waimea, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii, U.S.A.) were harvested during a 14-week period from August to December 2009 as ripe fruit became available. Tests used laboratory B. cucurbitae flies obtained from colonies maintained at the USDA-ARS laboratory in Honolulu, HI. For each cultivar, 50 fruits (average weight 74.9 g) were spread out in a single layer and exposed to 50 gravid females in outdoor screen cages for 6 hours, then held for recovery of puparia and adult emergence (but only 30 fruits and 30 flies for the ‘Legacy’ cultivar and 36 fruits and 36 flies for the ‘Sunshine Blue’ cultivar). There were four replicates for each cultivar except for cultivars ‘Legacy’ and ‘Sunshine Blue’ for which there were only two replicates. Puparia were recovered from seven of the cultivars (‘Sapphire’, ‘Windsor’, ‘Jubilee’, ‘Biloxi’, ‘Jewel’, ‘Sharpblue’, and ‘Emerald’) averaging 1.9 puparia per trial (range 0.25 [‘Emerald’] - 7.0 [‘Sapphire’]), or 27.1 puparia/kg fruit (range 2.0 [‘Emerald’] - 112.0 [‘Sapphire’]), from which there was an average of 93.27% adult emergence. No puparia were recovered from four of the cultivars: ‘Blue Crisp’, ‘Legacy’, ‘Misty’, and ‘Sunshine Blue.’ Synonyms: Vaccinium atlanticum E. P. Bicknell , Vaccinium constablaei A. Gray
