InsectsSimple Summary Non-crop host plants inhabiting wild vegetation areas surrounding crops strongly influence the dynamics and abundance of polyphagous pest fruit flies, including Ceratitis capitata (Cc), Drosophila suzukii (Ds), and Anastrepha fraterculus ...

A microbial perspective of Drosophila suzukii
, 2022 The fruit fly Drosophila suzukii infests intact, ripening soft fruits using the serrated ovipositor. Originally from Asia, this fly has successfully invaded several parts of America and Europe in the last decade, resulting in direct economic losses in the horticultural sector. Microbes are important in a pest’s life history.

Selection, counterselection, and conditional gene expression for genetic biocontrol of insects
Insect Science, EarlyView.Selection, counterselection, and conditional expression can be used for sex separation. Selection (S) and counterselection (CS) genes are linked to the sex chromosomes (e.g., the X and Y chromosomes) to confer sex‐specific selection or counterselection based on the presence or absence of the S or CS genes.

Identifying candidate host plants for trap cropping against Drosophila suzukii in vineyards
Journal of Pest ScienceThe spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a serious pest in vineyards where it is difficult to control.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is an environmentally friendly, sustainable pest control approach, which uses large‐scale releases of sterile insects to suppress or eradicate target populations through infertile matings. The efficiency of SIT is enhanced by male‐only releases requiring genetic sexing strains (GSSs) that are classically ...

Neoclassical development of genetic sexing strains for insect pest and disease vector control
Insect Science, EarlyView.The sterile insect technique has been effectively used for decades, and an important component is the availability of sex separation systems, in particular genetic sexing strains. Classical approaches, such as irradiation‐induced chromosomal translocations, have yielded stable strains for species like the Mediterranean fruit fly.

First record of spotted wing drosophila Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Montenegro [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2015 The spotted wing drosophila Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive pest originating from Southeast Asia. It was detected for the first time in Europe in 2008 (Spain and Italy) and subsequently in other European countries ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Abstract The sterile insect technique (SIT) plays an important role in environmentally sustainable pest management. Its effectiveness hinges on specialized genetic tools called genetic sexing strains (GSSs), which enable the production and release of sterile male insects while excluding females.

Journal of Horticultural Research, 2015 The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) (SWD) monitoring was carried out between 2012-2014 in eight locations. In order to determine the presence of Drosophila suzukii, several types of traps and baits were used.
