Abstract:
... Drosophila suzukii and Drosophila melanogaster feed on various fruits, causing great economic losses. In order to find the optimum time for controlling D. suzukii and D. melanogaster, the daily rhythms of oviposition, egg hatch, pupation, adult eclosion, copulation, and feeding of these two pests were studied. We found the circadian rhythm of D. suzukii oviposition to have a single pattern with a ...

Polycistronic expression systems in insects can be used for applications such as recombinant protein production in cells, enhanced transgenesis methods, and the development of novel pest-control strategies based on the sterile insect technique (SIT). Here we tested the performance of four picornaviral 2A self-cleaving peptides (TaV-2A, DrosCV-2A, FMDV 2A1/31 and FMDV 2A1/32) for the co-expression ...

Abstract:
... Although Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) infests fresh and ripening fruits, it is attracted to fermented fruits as well. Because fermented fruits attract other flies too, if D. suzukii utilizes fermented fruits as oviposition substrates, competition can be more intense on them. To avoid such competition, D. suzukii may change oviposition preference when particular species of ...

Abstract:
... Economic losses in a range of fruit crops due to the Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) have become severe. Removal and treatment of fruit waste, which may harbor D. suzukii, is a key step in preventing reinfestation of fruit production. Natural fermentation for disinfesting fruit wastes from D. suzukii was examined at ambient air temperatures of 12–20 °C. Soft and stone fruit wastes infested with egg ...

Among potential control methods, only classical biological control appears to be a mean of sustainably regulating Ds in both cultivated and natural habitats. In the frame of risk assessment, pre-release surveys were carried out in a restricted but h ...

Abstract:
... Trichopria drosophilae is a cosmopolitan pupal parasitoid that attacks many species of Drosophilidae, including the invasive Drosophila suzukii. This study reports on the life-history traits and host preferences of a Californian population of T. drosophilae and compares its life-time fecundity with a South Korean population of T. drosophilae. Female parasitoids emerge with a high mature egg-load ( ...

Abstract:
... The worldwide invasive insect pest, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted-wing Drosophila), lays eggs in soft and stone fruit before harvest. Hatched larvae cause fruit collapse and significant economic losses. Current control methods rely primarily on foliar insecticide applications, which are not sustainable long-term solutions due to regulatory restrictions and the risk of insecticide resistanc ...

The globally spreading pest Drosophila suzukii and its relative D. subpulchrella (Diptera: Drosophilidae) possess an elongated ovipositor with enlarged bristles which is associated with their ability to oviposit into hard-skinned fruits. Other species of the genus ovipositing in damaged fruit and decaying material have blunt ovipositors with small bristles. In insects, the ability to cut or penetr ...

Abstract:

The mechanisms underlying host selection, in particular the fly’s preference for fresh, intact, and competitor-free fruits, are only partially understood. We hypothesize that D. suzukii females use cues of different fruit properties to rank potential hos ...

The main component of Resilin is Pro‐Rresilin that polymerises via covalent di‐ and tri‐tyrosine bounds (DT). Loss of Pro‐Resilin is nonlethal and causes a held‐down wing phenotype (hdw) in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. To test whether this mild phenotype is recurrent in other insect species, w ...

Abstract:
... Since its recent invasion in Europe (2008) Drosophila suzukii has been responsible for severe economic losses in small fruit, cherry and strawberry cultivation.
