“…In their analysis of the D. suzukii's impact on the California strawberry and raspberry industry, Goodhue et al [12] calculated a positive price response to the yield losses, but they did not allow for any negative effect on the export market. This methodological choice may have led to an underestimation of the actual impact of the pest.…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:The fly Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an endemic pest, native to Southern Asia which has recently invaded western countries. Since its detection in 2008 in California and Spain, it is now established in North America and in many European countries. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to evaluate the pest's economic impact on the soft fruit industry in the Province of Trento, a region in the North East of Italy, which is one of the most productive soft fruit areas in Europe. METHODS: The evaluation takes into account both the growers' potential revenue losses and the costs of pest control and uses a partial budgeting approach. Two scenarios are evaluated: the one before and the one after the implementation of an integrated control strategy for D. suzukii. RESULTS: Before the adoption of an integrated pest control strategy, the estimated revenue losses amounted to about 13% of the industry's output. After the implementation of an integrated strategy this loss decreased to about 7% of the industry's output. CONCLUSIONS: The adopted strategy seems effective in mitigating the pest's economic impact. The knowledge about D. suzukii's impact and its management would benefit from further analysis encompassing a larger geographical scope and longer time series.

“…Attempts to quantify the pest's economic impact are relatively scarce at the present time, and have been, until now, focused on the USA [1,12], despite various swarms of pests detected in Europe. A first estimate in the Trentino area, carried out according to 2011 data [13], took into account only the producers' revenue losses.…”

“…Two years later, eastern and southern U.S. states began losing fruit to D. suzukii. Four to 5 yr after that, D. suzukii damage accounted for an estimated 6% loss in blueberry yield and 34% loss in bramble yield, and with time, these losses are expected to rise because of the increased likelihood of fruit rejections during or after harvest (Price et al 2009;Goodhue et al 2011;Burrack 2014).…”

“…Consequently, GM dipterans harboring a transgene that incorporates a fluorescent protein gene cassette as marker would express the fluorescent protein and can be visualized under a fluorescent microscope (Figure 2). The family Drosophilidae consists of many members including the well-known model fly Drosophila melanogaster, but only the spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is considered a major pest of cultivated crops [19]. However, D. melanogaster has been immensely beneficial in genetic studies and many proofs-of-principle of transgenic strategies against dipteran population control, or even for other insect orders, have been developed in this model insect.…”

Biological Control of Pest and Vector Insects

Insects are the most numerous of all animals and are found in almost every inhabitable place on earth. The order Diptera (true flies) contains many members that are notorious agricultural pests, nuisance or vectors of diseases. The list is long: mosquitoes, tsetse flies, screw worms, fruit flies, sand flies, blow flies, house flies, gall and biting midges, black flies, leaf miners, horse flies, and so on. Efforts to combat some of these pests and vectors have resulted in control measures such as the chemical, physical, and cultural control methods. These methods, though largely beneficial, have disadvantages and limitations, which sometimes seem to outweigh the problems initially sought to be controlled. The chemical method, for example, is not environment-friendly since it negatively affects many nontarget organisms and disrupts ecosystem balance. Development of insecticide resistance by pests/vectors is another concern. Molecular biotechnology has introduced vast arrays of novel ways to tackle pests and disease vectors, as well as improve the potency of existing control methods. This chapter looks at transgenic and paratransgenic biotechnologies and how they have been applied so far to develop and expand the arsenal against dipteran pests and disease vectors. Further, we discuss the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of these technologies.
