Survey on Drosophila suzukii and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Drosophilidae, Tephritidae) and Associated Eucoilinae Species (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) in Northwestern Argentina. First Record of Dicerataspis grenadensis and Leptopilina boulardi as Parasitoids of D. suzukii.

The Southeast Asian-native Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), also known as "spotted-wing Drosophila," is one of the most globally invasive agricultural species. Although D. suzukii is a pest spread throughout all the Argentinian fruit-growing regions, few information has been published on its impact on local fruit production.

Assessing Natural Incidence of Resident Pupal Parasitoids on the Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Population in Non-crop Fruits.

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), world-renowned as spotted-wing drosophila, is an invasive pest mainly affecting healthy, soft and stone fruit crops throughout Argentinian fruit-growing regions. Natural environments overgrown by exotic feral host plants apparently favour D. suzukii proliferation.

Drosophila suzukii in Argentina: State of the Art and Further Perspectives.

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), commonly known as spotted-wing drosophila or SWD, is an invasive, severe, and damaging pest, which is able to inflict huge economic losses on soft thin-skinned fruits worldwide. Argentina was not excluded from the rapid invasion of this new and aggressive pest. Berries and cherries are among the most economically important fruits, showing an increasing demand from both domestic and export markets, which make necessary the application of effective and early protection measures.

Augmentative Releases of Two Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) Population Lines Under Field-Cage Conditions to Control Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae).

Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae), known as Medfly, is a severe agricultural invasive pest in Argentinian fruit-producing regions. The native habitat disturbance and introduction and spread of exotic host plants strongly favored Medfly proliferation. This scenario is common throughout the northern subtropical citrus-growing region.
