Tephritidae is a large family that includes several fruit and vegetable pests. These organisms usually harbor a variegated bacterial community in their digestive systems. Symbiotic associations of bacteria and fruit flies have been well-studied in the generaAnastrepha, Bactrocera, Ceratitis,andRhagoletis.Molecular and culture-based techniques indicate that many genera of the Enterobacteriaceae family, especially the genera ofKlebsiella, Enterobacter, Pectobacterium, Citrobacter, Erwinia,andProvidenciaconstitute the most prevalent populations in the gut of fruit flies. The function of symbiotic bacteria provides a promising strategy for the biological control of insect pests. Gut bacteria can be used for controlling fruit fly through many ways, including attracting as odors, enhancing the success of sterile insect technique, declining the pesticide resistance, mass rearing of parasitoids and so on. New technology and recent research improved our knowledge of the gut bacteria diversity and function, which increased their potential for pest management. In this review, we discussed the diversity of bacteria in the economically important fruit fly and the use of these bacteria for controlling fruit fly populations. All the information is important for strengthening the future research of new strategies developed for insect pest control by the understanding of symbiotic relationships and multitrophic interactions between host plant and insects.

Tephritidae 细菌共生体：害虫管理的潜力

Tephritidae 是一个大家族，包括几种水果和蔬菜害虫。这些生物通常在其消化系统中含有杂色的细菌群落。细菌和果蝇的共生关系已在该属中得到充分研究按实蝇，实蝇属，角膜炎，和拉戈莱蒂斯。基于分子和培养的技术表明，肠杆菌科的许多属，尤其是克雷伯菌属、肠杆菌属、果胶杆菌属、柠檬酸杆菌属、欧文氏菌属、和普罗维登西亚构成果蝇肠道中最普遍的种群。共生菌的功能为害虫的生物防治提供了一种有前景的策略。肠道细菌可通过多种方式用于控制果蝇，包括以气味吸引、提高昆虫不育技术的成功率、降低抗药性、大量饲养寄生蜂等。新技术和最近的研究提高了我们对肠道细菌多样性和功能的了解，从而增加了它们在害虫管理方面的潜力。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了经济上重要的果蝇中细菌的多样性以及这些细菌在控制果蝇种群中的用途。
