“…This has been observed in other dispersal studies, because as distance increases, search area increases, and natural mortality occurs during the course of dispersion (Geremias and Parra, 2014). The same phenomenon was observed in coffee plantations, using C. capitata larvae as sentinel hosts (Camargos et al, 2016). Avila et al (2013) reported that the solitary endoparasitoid Cotesia urabae Austin and Allen (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) dispersed and parasitized sentinel larvae of the lepidopteran pest Uraba lugens Walker up to 20 m away from the release point, but parasitism was highest within a radius of five m from the release tree.…”

“…We did not recover any native parasitoids during this study. Natural parasitism of tephritid flies in semi-arid regions is generally low, probably due to adverse climatic conditions (Alvarenga et al, 2005;Araujo and Zucchi, 2002), as previously observed in irrigated coffee plantations in this region (Camargos et al, 2016). However, the abiotic factors: precipitation, temperature, and relative humidity did not influence the parasitism behavior of D. longicaudata after release.…”

“…Both strains of parasitoid produced some offspring, but most of those recovered after 15 days were of the Anastrepha strain, which also produced the most parasitism in the first hours after release. In releases of D. longicaudata reared on C. capitata, Camargos et al (2016) and Coutinho (2012) recovered parasitoids from C. capitata sentinel larvae for five days after release. These results demonstrated that the Anastrepha strain was able to quickly locate and parasitize hosts, and remained active for longer in the field than the Ceratitis strain.…”

The dispersal and parasitism abilities of Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, reared on the larval hosts Ceratitis capitata and Anastrepha fraterculus, were evaluated in a guava orchard. Eleven releases of approximately 3000 parasitoids were conducted in a 15-ha orchard and wasp dispersal was monitored from 6 to 272 m away from a central release point. At each monitoring point, larvae of C. capitata and A. fraterculus were offered as hosts for the parasitoids. In five releases, parasitoids were offered only one host species, and in six releases, they were given a choice. In total, 10,351 parasitoids were recovered from these hosts, all of which were D. longicaudata. Both parasitoid strains dispersed in all directions, but showed a slight bias towards the east. Both strains of the parasitoid survived and parasitized larvae of A. fraterculus and C. capitata for up to 15 days after release, with maximum activity during the first 7 days, but more individuals of the Anastrepha strain were recovered after 15 days. Although the highest rates of parasitism by both wasp strains occurred close to the release point, the Anastrepha strain parasitized more hosts at greater distances from the release point, whereas the Ceratitis strain parasitized more hosts close to release points. Releases of the Anastrepha strain of D. longicaudata are therefore recommended, as this strain yields high rates of parasitism further away from release points and appears to survive longer in the field.

“…In Brazil, it was introduced in 1994 by "Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura" (Carvalho et al 1995) and is present in 10 states. Some studies on D. longicaudata, such as the olfactory response (Silva et al 2007), field dispersal, rates of parasitism and field survival when reared in two hosts (Camargos et al, 2016(Camargos et al, , 2018, and learning behavior of the female related to two essential oils (Zadra et al 2018) have been conducted in Brazil. D. longicaudata has recently been certified as a biological insecticide in Brazil, as it was published in the Federal Register, on September 3, 2018, edition 170, section 1, p. 127, based on Joint Normative Instruction nr.…”

The braconid parasitoids of fruit-infesting flies have been more intensively studied from the middle to late 1990s, when taxonomic research was restarted in Brazil. At the same time, efforts toward the biological control of fruit flies intensified, and an exotic species, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, was introduced. In the decade 2010, another exotic species, Fopius arisanus, was introduced, and two new species of Doryctobracon were described. Currently, 12 species of braconids from the subfamilies Alysiinae (two species) and Opiinae (10 species) are associated with fruit flies of economic importance in Brazil, two of which are introduced species. More than half of the species belong to the genus Doryctobracon, with D. areolatus (Szépligeti) the most widely distributed species in Brazil.

“…Relative to tephritid fruit flies parasitoids, releases (within a BC program) are performed in an unsupervised fashion, meaning, that released specimens are either not labelled or not recaptured after release (Paranhos et al 2007;Bokonon-Ganta et al 2013;Camargos et al 2016). Indeed, recapture studies hadve provided opposed results, not revealing any clear methodology that allow the determination of dispersion and parasitism percentage (as measure of egg-laying location) at the same time or with the same efficacy.…”
