Field trapping experiments evaluated wine and vinegar baits for spotted wing drosophila flies, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), and assessed variance in bait attractiveness with wine type, vinegar type ...

CABI scientists have led new research which highlights the safety of a classical biological control agent against the devastating invasive fruit fly Drosophila suzukii which attacks over 150 wild and ...

We report, for the first time, the occurrence and development of Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in fruits of Acca sellowiana (Berg) Burret (Myrtaceae). Although fruits of A.

Biologists have created the world's first gene drive system -- a mechanism for manipulating genetic inheritance -- in Drosophila suzukii, an agricultural pest that has invaded much of the United ...

The fruit fly (Drosophila suzukii) ruins berries for human consumption by laying its eggs under the skin of the fruit. Larvae subsequently hatch from those eggs and feed on the berries until maturity.

One of the best parts of working with University of Idaho Extension is the constant learning opportunity. Recently, I had a learning experience that hit close to home—literally. Spotted wing ...

Applying CRISPR-based technology to a broad agricultural need, scientists have developed a new technology aimed at Drosophila suzukii, the invasive fruit fly responsible for millions of dollars in ...

Populations of Drosophila suzukii fruit flies - so-called "spotted-wing Drosophila" that devastate soft-skinned fruit in North America, Europe and parts of South America - could be greatly suppressed ...

In contrast to other members of the Drosophila family, the spotted-wing fly D. suzukii deposits its eggs in ripe fruits. Biologists from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have now ...

CABI scientists have led new research revealing strong evidence that a natural enemy of the prolific Asian fruit fly Drosphila suzukii—previously believed to be one species—is, in fact, two species; ...
