In vitro metabolism of aflatoxin B1 by larvae of navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker) (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) and codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Tortricidae.

Larvae of the navel orangeworm (NOW) Amyelois transitella (Walker), a major pest of almonds and pistachios, and the codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L.), the principal pest of walnuts and pome fruits, are commonly found in tree nut kernels that can be contaminated with aflatoxin. The ability of larvae of these insects to metabolise AFB1 was examined. A field strain of NOW produced three AFB1 biotransformation products, chiefly aflatoxicol (AFL), and minor amounts of AFB2a, and AFM1. With AFL as a substrate, Now larvae produced AFB1 and AFLM1. A field strain of CM larvae produced trace amounts of only AFL
