“…Utetes africanus (Silvestri) was imported but proved difficult to rear and, therefore, quarantine studies were not completed. Additonally, other braconid parasiotids reared from other fruit fly species were also evaluated, these included Fopius arisanus (Sonan) , Dichasmimorpha kraussii (Fullaway) and D. longicaudata (Ashmead) (Sime et al 2006b). These more generalist parasitoids have been used widely in tephritid fruit fly biological control programs.…”

Psyttalia lounsburyi (Silvestri) and P. humilis (Silvestri) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were evaluated in California for their potential to control the invasive olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Psyttalia lounsburyi is a specialist on B. oleae while P. humilis also attacks other tephritid species. Field cage trials, conducted from 2006 to 2009, were used to compare P. lounsburyi and two populations of P. humilis (Kenya and Namibia) in California's interior valley and coastal regions. Both parasitoid species reproduced on B. oleae in all trials. Under similar abiotic conditions, offspring production per female was higher in P. humilis than in P. lounsburyi, suggesting that host specificity by P. lounsburyi does not confer a higher efficiency on B. oleae in cultivated olives. Two abiotic factors were shown to impact parasitoid efficiency. First, adult parasitoid survival was poor during periods of high summer temperatures, common to the olive production areas in California's interior valleys. Second, parasitism levels were lower on B. oleae larvae feeding in larger Ascolano cv. fruit than in smaller Manzanillo cv. fruit. Results are discussed relative to biological control of B. oleae in commercial olives and the usefulness of natural enemies specialized to attack fruit flies in wild olives compared with the larger cultivated olive fruit.

“…Indeed, medfly naturally infested citrus fruits were the source of new D. longicaudata in Sousse (Tunisia), indicating a foraging behavior that allow them to survive and locate hosts under semi-arid conditions, as also indicated in other studies (Sime et al 2006b;Appiah et al 2013;Mereilles et al 2015).…”

“…The results presented in this thesis proved the D. longicaudata capacity to disperse and parasitize C. capitata under Tunisian natural conditions. Despite these pilot releases determined that D. longicaudata was unable to overpass the winter, as happened in other countries (Etiam et al 2004;Sime et al 2006b;Appiah et al 2013, Mereilles et al 2015, it was stated that probably it was a consequence of the low number of specimens released.…”

“…Our results are also consistent with those published by Appiah et al (2013), who found that the most suitable temperature range for the optimum parasitism of D. longicaudata on B. invadens is between 20-25°C. Similarly, Sime et al (2006b) showed that moderate temperatures (22-25°C) are optimal for the development of both…”

“…However, the low temperature threshold was set at 10°C (Sime et al 2006b). Eitam et al (2004) showed that the distribution of D. longicaudata in tropical climates, like in Florida or in California, has been delineated in part by minimum temperatures, being absent in cold winter areas (with an average temperature below 10.58°C), Paladino et al (2010) invadens is between 20 and 25°C.…”
