Mathematical models for host-parasitoid interactions and biological control of Drosophila suzukii
… to optimally control the invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii. The third part analyzes an experiment for releasing parasitoids in a greenhouse which is infested by D.suzukii. The models presented are used to discuss how to improve such biological control strategies.

Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) in Arkansas: Winter Morphs, Wild Hosts, and Fungal Control
<p>Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), or spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is an invasive fruit fly pest that was first found in the United States in 2008. Unlike native Drosophila, SWD females have a serrated ovipositor that allows them to attack ripening fruit. Since its introduction, it is unclear how …

New insights for the Drosophila suzukii sustainable control: integrating parasitoids into current pest management strategies
… e l’ambiente. Il moscerino dei piccoli frutti, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), è un importante esempio di insetto invasivo responsabile di ingenti perdite economiche a livello globale, per la produzione di frutti con epicarpo sottile. Tra i nemici naturali di D. suzukii, il parassitoide pupale …

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosphilidae): Risk Assessment For An Invasive Vinegar Fly In Virginia Vineyards
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophila) is an invasive frugivore and has become a significant pest of small fruit, cherry and grape throughout the United States. It may be possible to determine if a Virginia vineyard is at risk of D. suzukii infestation by analyzing the biotic and …

Ganaspis kimorum as a classical biological control agent for Drosophila suzukii: from laboratory studies to field assessments
… of such event, is given by the spotted wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii. Native from East Asia, this fly colonized three continents in less than a decade. Its ability to oviposit in ripening fruit causes severe damage to berry and stone fruit crops. Current management relies heavily on …

Role of labellar and ovipositor taste sensilla of Drosophila suzukii in host recognition: a morpho-functional and behavioural approach.
Drosophila suzukii is an invasive and destructive crop pest that originated in Southeast Asia. Unlike most other Drosophila species which attack only decaying or rotten fruits, this species has the ability to infest healthy fruits because of its serrated ovipositor used to pierce the skin of fruits …

Host-Parasitoid Interactions of Two Invasive Drosophilids in Virginia Fruit Crops
… if parasitoids were attacking invasive flies Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) and Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in the field. Two parasitoids of frugivorous drosophilids, Leptopilina boulardi (Barbotin, Carton, and Kelner-Pillault) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) and Pachycrepoideus …

Toxin-like proteins in the venom of Drosophila parasitoids
<p>The figitid parasitoid wasps of Drosophila are gaining importance in agriculture due to their ability to kill the resilient soft-fruit pest Drosophila suzukii. Their success and infection strategies vary, and the mechanisms underlying these differences are largely unknown. Some of their venom …

Fitotoxicidade, potencial inseticida e seletividade a organismos não alvos de Ficus carica Linn (Moraceae)
… também foi estudada em relação ao alvo agrícola Drosophila suzukii e a segurança foi analisada nos insetos benéficos Apis mellifera, Parthamona helleri, Eriopis connexa, Coleomegilla maculata e Chrysoperla externa. FCG e FCF não foram tóxicos para o percevejo-marrom adulto, mas apresentou elevada …

Spotted-wing Drosophila: Investigating the Efficacy of Innovative and Alternative Management Techniques
Spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii; SWD) established recently in North America as an invasive insect pest of small and soft skinned fruit, responsible for significant economic losses nationwide and locally in Minnesota. Female SWD use a heavily sclerotized and serrated ovipositor to …

Exploitation of underexplored physiological, metabarcoding and evolutionary aspects to enhance invasive insect pest management
… 2) was addressed considering the spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii), an invasive species from eastern Asia that particularly threatens soft fruit crops. The study focused on measuring metabolic and water loss rates of D. suzukii flies captured at different sites located on an …

From data to mathematical analysis and simulation in models in epidemiology and ecology
… be relevant for modelling control strategies for Drosophila suzukii, a recently introduced fruit fly that caused severe production losses, based on native parasitoids of indigenous fruit flies. In the third part, we present a starting point to analyse raw data collected by Stacconi et al. in the …

OPTIMIZING THE BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF INVASIVE INSECTS: EVALUATING NATURAL ENEMY HOST SPECIFICITY, PREY BEHAVIOR, AND VIBRATIONAL COMMUNICATION
… of another important invasive species, Drosophila suzukii. The experiment was conducted in semi-field conditions, exposing the parasitoid to blueberry branches infested with three different SWD density rates (i.e., 10 females, 20 females, 30 females). The data obtained from this …

Síntese e avaliação das atividades leishmanicida, citotóxica, fungicida e inseticida de derivados da vanilina contendo o núcleo 1,2,3- triazólico e obtenção de novos derivados 1,2,3-triazólicos do eugenol
… foram avaliados contra a espécie de inseto Drosophila suzukii. No entanto, os compostos apresentaram baixa eficácia contra esta espécie (os compostos mais ativos apresentaram porcentagem de mortalidade em torno de 5%). Na presente investigação, também foi desenvolvida uma nova rota sintética …
