Trichopria drosophilae parasitizes Drosophila suzukii in seven common non-crop fruits

The invasive vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii not only infests and damages numerous fruit crops but also develops in many wild fruit species in semi-natural habitats. Biological control in these refuges could reduce D. suzukii populations and minimize their dispersal into fruit crops. We investigated parasitization of D. suzukii by the pupal parasitoid Trichopria drosophilae in seven common wild fruit species. Development and nutrient content of...
