Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI)<\/a> have emphasised the safety of a classical biological control agent against the invasive fruit fly, <em>Drosophila suzukii<\/em>.<\/h2>\n<h3>What is Drosophila suzukii?<\/h3>\n<p><em>D. suzukii<\/em>, also known as the Spotted Wing Drosophila, is a frugivorous insect native to Eastern Asia that was unintentionally introduced to the Americas and Europe in the 2,000s, where it rapidly spread and created a challenge for the classical biological control agent to tackle.<\/p>\n<p>The fruit fly attacks approximately 150 wild and cultivated fruits, such as cherries, berries, and ornamental plants.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the sympatric Drosophila species in invaded areas, <em>D. suzukii<\/em> females are able to lay eggs inside unwounded ripening fruits due to their specialised egg-laying organ, which is equipped with saw teeth, thus providing it with a unique niche virtually free from competition.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting high abundance of <em>D. suzukiis<\/em> led to extensive damage, and created a major problem for fruit growers, especially in the soft fruit industry.<\/p>\n<h3>Experiments reveal what type of species is feeding on fruits<\/h3>\n<p>Field cage releases of the parasitoid <em>G1 Ganaspis cf. brasiliens<\/em> was conducted in two regions of Switzerland in August 2021 and supports findings from previously conducted laboratory-based experiments and the low risk for non-target impacts on native<em> D. suzukii.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This collaborative study included colleagues from the Repubblica e Cantone Ticino, Agroscope, and the Institute of Agricultural Sciences (IAS) of ETH Zurich. <span class=\"TextRun SCXW167359307 BCX9\" lang=\"EN-GB\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span

the choice to parasitise either <em>D. suzukii<\/em> larvae in fresh fruits, blueberries or elderberries, or the non-target native species <em>D. melanogaster<\/em> in decomposing fruits, which is their natural habitat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results were unequivocal in that parasitism of<em> D. suzukii<\/em> larvae feeding in fresh fruits was on average 15%, whereas only one parasitoid emerged from <em>D. melanogaster<\/em> feeding on decomposing fruits, which is a mere 0.02% parasitism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results achieved under semi-field conditions supports findings from previous laboratory experiments that the parasitoid <em>G1G. cf. brasiliensis<\/em> is highly specific to <em>D. suzukii<\/em> larvae feeding in fresh fruits and parasitism of the closely related <em>D. melanogaster<\/em> naturally feeding on decomposing fruits is very rare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause in its invaded range <em>D. suzukii<\/em> is the only Drosophila species that can attack and develop in undamaged fresh fruits, we conclude that possible non-target impacts are a low and acceptable risk for the control of the destructive invasive spotted wing Drosophila.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span
