Drosophila suzukii, a vinegar fly originated from Southeast Asia, has recently invaded western countries, and it has been recognized as an important threat of a wide variety of several commercial soft fruits. This review summarizes the current information about the biology and dispersal of D. suzukii and discusses the current status and prospects of control methods for the management of this pest. We highlight current knowledge and ongoing research on innovative environmental-friendly control methods with emphasis on the sterile insect technique (SIT) and the incompatible insect technique (IIT). SIT has been successfully used for the containment, suppression or even eradication of populations of insect pests. IIT has been proposed as a stand-alone tool or in conjunction with SIT for insect pest control. The principles of SIT and IIT are reviewed, and the potential value of each approach in the management of D. suzukii is analyzed. We thoroughly address the challenges of SIT and IIT, and we propose the use of SIT as a component of an area-wide integrated pest management approach to suppress D. suzukii populations. As a contingency plan, we suggest a promising alternative avenue through the combination of these two techniques, SIT/IIT, which has been developed and is currently being tested in open-field trials against Aedes mosquito populations. All the potential limiting factors that may render these methods ineffective, as well as the requirements that need to be fulfilled before their application, are discussed.

昆虫不育技术和沃尔巴克氏体共生作为控制入侵物种铃木果蝇的潜在工具。


铃木果蝇（Drosophila suzukii）是一种起源于东南亚的醋蝇，最近入侵西方国家，并已被认为是多种商业软果的重要威胁。本文总结了有关铃木虫的生物学和传播的最新信息，并讨论了该害虫的防治方法的现状和前景。我们重点介绍创新环保控制方法的当前知识和正在进行的研究，重点是昆虫不育技术（SIT）和不亲和昆虫技术（IIT）。 SIT 已成功用于遏制、抑制甚至根除害虫种群。 IIT 已被提议作为一种独立工具或与昆虫不育技术结合用于害虫控制。回顾了 SIT 和 IIT 的原理，并分析了每种方法在铃木虫管理中的潜在价值。我们彻底解决了 SIT 和 IIT 的挑战，并建议使用 SIT 作为大面积害虫综合管理方法的组成部分，以抑制铃木虫种群。作为一项应急计划，我们建议通过结合这两种技术 SIT/IIT 来采用一种有希望的替代途径，该技术已经开发出来，目前正在针对伊蚊种群的露天试验中进行测试。讨论了可能导致这些方法无效的所有潜在限制因素，以及应用前需要满足的要求。
