Mini Review of Parasitoids Collected from Dipterans (Flies) in the Brazilian Cerrado Biome

Abstract

These dipterans use decaying organic matter for food and ovi/ larviposition, so the species of these families easily adapt to anthropic environments, which makes them insects considered to be synanthropic cosmopolitans of importance for public health. The collection was built from articles (describing the objective and results) from 1999 and 2010 with the theme: dipterous parasitoids elaborated from 2000 to 2021 in the cerrado biome of the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais. The most used parasitoids in biological control are in the Hymenoptera. Within Hymenoptera Parasitic and the most used families are Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Trichogrammatidae, Eulophidae and the superfamily Chalcidoidea (Pteromalidae, Encyrtidae and Aphelinidae) and Coleoptera parasitoids of the Staphilinidae family.
