“…Studies on superparasitism, parasitoid learning, competition, and interactions between parasitoids and other BCAs, such as fungi, predators, and nematodes (Montoya et al, 2012; Tormos et al, 2012; Aluja et al, 2013; Van Nieuwenhove et al, 2016; Masry et al, 2018; Murillo et al, 2019a,b; Paranhos et al, 2021), have also contributed to increasing the number of successful studies of biological control as shown in our results. These types of studies are increasing in number as the success of a biological technique is strongly associated with the ability of released parasitoids to disperse, survive, and find hosts (Paranhos et al, 2007).…”

“…During 2013 and 2014, F. arisanus was reared and shipped to Senegal inside puparia of C. capitata , where it led to an increase of parasitism rates of fruit flies in mango fruits to 25% (Vargas et al, 2016). This approach also served as a base for introducing F. arisanus in Brazil to control carambola fruit fly, B. carambolae (Vargas et al, 2016; Paranhos et al, 2021). Another example of classical biological control includes Psyttalia fletcheri (Silvestri) to control Z. cucurbitae in Réunion Island and Hawaii (Quilici et al, 2004; Vargas et al, 2004).…”

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the main pests in horticulture, impacting field crops and export markets. The biological control of fruit flies has become an important method for environmentally friendly crop production. Although biological control is an age-old practice and the mass-rearing of some biological agents boomed in the 1990s, efforts in fruit fly control programs still face several challenges.We conducted a systematic review to investigate publications assessing the success or failure of using natural enemies against tephritid fruit flies. Our goal was to compile and summarize information from over 30 years of research on biocontrol efforts, including groups and species of control agents and fruit flies tested, methodological approaches applied, the country where the study was performed, and the scope adopted. We also analyzed effectiveness, efficiency, and success rates in biocontrol studies published from 1990 to 2021. Our review showed 2986 records, of which 225 publications matched the criteria. The most-studied biocontrol agents for the suppression of fruit flies were parasitoids, fungi, and nematodes. A few studies assessed bacteria, predators, and viruses. We found a total of 55 fruit fly species described as hosts of the biological agents. Natural/conservation biological control was the main scope studied; however, augmentative biological control had a higher rate of successful studies and potential success, followed by classical biological control. The effectiveness and efficiency parameters are discussed to provide support for researchers in future studies.

“…The search for control methods that cause the least impact on the environment has been growing in recent decades. In this context, biological control has assumed relevant importance as a management strategy associated with other pest control techniques (Paranhos et al 2021). The global biological agents market reached $3.4 billion in 2016, with an estimated $7.6 billion by the end of 2022.…”

“…Among the great diversity of potential parasitoid species that can be used in tephritid management is Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) (Zucchi and Moraes 2008, Paranhos et al 2019), an endoparasitoid native to the Neotropics that parasitizes the early stages of the development of fruit flies (Murillo et al 2015, Paranhos et al 2021). Only in Brazil, there are reports of parasitism of 23 species of fruit flies, where the genus Anastrepha , especially the A. fraterculus species stands out.…”

“…After locating the host inside the fruit, mediated by antennation (touching the antennae), the adult female inserts a single egg inside the body of the fly larvae that will later give rise to a new wasp (Sthul and Sivinski 2015). Several works have already elucidated aspects related to taxonomy, rearing techniques, and biology of this species (Sthul and Sivinski 2015, Gonçalves et al 2018, Paranhos et al 2019, 2021, López-Arriaga et al 2021).…”

Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti) is an endoparasitoid and promising fruit fly control agent. The objective of the study was to determine the spatial (horizontal and vertical) and temporal dispersion of D. areolatus in the field. To evaluate the horizontal and temporal dispersion, two peach orchards were selected. In each orchard, 50 points were marked at different distances from the central point, from where 4,100 couples of D. areolatus were released. Four hours after release, parasitism units (PU) (3 per point) were fixed to the trees at a height of 1.5 m from the ground. The PUs were composed of ripe apples artificially infested with second instar larvae of Anastrepha fraterculus (30 larvae/fruit). For the evaluation of vertical dispersion, in an olive orchard six points were selected (trees of ≈4 m in height). Each tree was divided into three heights in relation to the ground (1.17, 2.34, and 3.51 m). Doryctobracon areolatus was able to disperse horizontally at a distance >60 m from the release point. However, the highest parasitism rates [15–45% (area 1); 15–27% (area 2)] were observed up to 25 m. Higher percentages of parasitism and of recovered offspring occur in the first days after the release of the parasitoid (2 DAR). As for vertical dispersion, D. areolatus parasitized A. fraterculus larvae up to the highest attachment height of the evaluated PUs (3.51). The results showed the potential use of D. areolatus in the management of fruit flies in the field.
