“…For example, in South America, it became a serious threat and economic concern for fig growers, with losses of up to 50% of production in some groves (Svedese et al. ). Although there is some question as to whether they can act as primary pests in undamaged fruit while the fruit is on plants (Steck ), they have been reared from ripe or damaged grapes collected from the ground and also directly from the plant (Van Timmeren and Isaacs ).…”

“…As Z. indianus expands its range, an increasing variety of fruits are used as larval hosts (Lachaise and Tsacas 1983;van der Linde et al 2006), making Z. indianus of potential concern as a new pest of numerous tropical and temperate fruit crops. For example, in South America, it became a serious threat and economic concern for fig growers, with losses of up to 50% of production in some groves (Svedese et al 2012). Although there is some question as to whether they can act as primary pests in undamaged fruit while the fruit is on plants (Steck 2005), they have been reared from ripe or damaged grapes collected from the ground and also directly from the plant (Van Timmeren and Isaacs 2014).…”

The African fig fly, Zaprionus indianus Gupta, is rapidly spreading through the New World and is a new potential pest for numerous fruit crops. Methods are needed to detect and monitor Z. indianus. A recent study shows that Z. indianus can be attracted with a mixture of wine and vinegar, but there are no chemical attractants yet identified. This fly was captured incidentally as a non‐target insect in experiments to develop chemical lures, based on wine and vinegar fermentation volatiles, for Drosophila suzukii Matsumura and Drosophila melanogaster Meigen. We then generated testable hypotheses on what combination of these volatiles was involved in Z. indianus attraction to wine and vinegar. We determined through a series of trapping experiments that the blend of ethanol, acetic acid, acetoin, isoamyl acetate, methionol and ethyl hexanoate constitutes a strong attractant for Z. indianus and accounts for its attraction to the combination of wine and vinegar. These results and findings provide the first opportunity to develop a long‐lasting and consistent chemical lure for trapping of Z. indianus. Such a lure in a suitable trap should provide a good means to document the spread of the fly and determine its seasonality and abundance in new areas and crops.

“…The captured flies were then placed in Erlenmeyers flasks, well-sealed with fine webbing. Based on the methodology of Svedese et al (2012), a source of food for the dipterans and cotton moistened with water to maintain humidity in the flask were added to promote survival conditions for the duration of the experiment. They were divided into two groups: groups of adults flies treated with AC001 (treated group) and groups that did not receive treatment (control group).…”

Haematobia irritans, also known as the horn fly, is a "plague" that spreads rapidly among cattle herds, especially in the southeast of Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction and activity of nematophagous fungus Duddingtonia flagrans (AC001) on H. irritans (Diptera: Muscidae). The experiment was conducted using the nematophagous fungus (AC001), which is harmless to animals, humans, and the environment. At the beginning of the experimental trial, samples of adult H. irritans were collected manually, directly from the dorsal region of naturally infested cattle of the Nelore breed. The flies where divided into two groups: groups of adult flies treated with AC001 (treated group) and groups of flies that did not receive treatment (control group). During the trial, the experiment was monitored daily for five days and the results were recorded. The results showed that the AC001 fungal isolate grew, colonized, and consequently caused the death of the flies in the treated group, while in the control group, no interaction or growth was observed, and the flies remained alive. It was concluded that the fungus D. flagrans interacted with adult flies, taking into consideration a "possible attack" by chitinase enzymes, since the fungal isolate drew on the chitin contained in the exoskeletons of the insects. In addition, attention should be focused on new studies that can demonstrate that, in the future, biological control of the horn fly could be an effective and safe method when compared with other methods.

“…Fungal pathogens are valuable biological agents for controlling some agricultural insect pests (Esser and Lemke 1995;Butt 2002;Roy et al 2010). They are environmentally safe in general (Esser and Lemke 1995;Wraight and Hajek 2009), and some fruit flies are susceptible to fungi (Castillo et al 2000;Ekesi et al 2002;Dimbi et al 2003;Konstantopoulou and Mazomenos 2005;Mochi et al 2006;Daniel and Wyss 2009;Svedese et al 2012;Beris et al 2013;Imoulan and Elmeziane 2014;Gul et al 2015). Various inoculation approaches have been used to determine the pathogenicity of several entomopathogenic fungi against fruit flies.…”
