Article Synopsis
- Spotted-wing drosophila, or Drosophila suzukii, first appeared in Mexico in 2011 and has since spread to 296 municipalities in five Latin American countries.
- This pest affects a wide range of plants (64 host species from 25 families), primarily composed of exotic plants, and is targeted by 14 native parasitoid wasp species, offering potential biological control options.
- The article reviews various management strategies for D. suzukii—including monitoring and control methods—to establish effective, sustainable pest management programs in Latin America that could also inform global strategies.
