The family Tephritidae (order: Diptera), commonly known as fruit flies, comprises a widely distributed group of agricultural pests. The tephritid pests infest multiple species of fruits and vegetables, resulting in huge crop losses. Here, we summarize the composition and diversity of tephritid gut-associated bacteria communities and host intrinsic and environmental factors that influence the microbiome structures. Diverse members of Enterobacteriaceae, most commonly Klebsiella and Enterobacter bacteria, are prevalent in fruit flies guts. Roles played by gut bacteria in host nutrition, development, physiology and resistance to insecticides and pathogens are also addressed. This review provides an overview of fruit fly microbiome structure and points to diverse roles that it can play in fly physiology and survival. It also considers potential use of this knowledge for the control of economically important fruit flies, including the sterile insect technique and cue-lure baiting.

Tephritidae 果蝇肠道微生物群多样性、功能和应用潜力

实蝇科（目：双翅目），俗称果蝇，是分布广泛的农业害虫群。tephritid害虫侵染多种水果和蔬菜，造成巨大的农作物损失。在这里，我们总结了与肠道相关细菌群落的组成和多样性，以及影响微生物组结构的宿主内在和环境因素。肠杆菌科的不同成员，最常见的是克雷伯氏菌和肠杆菌属细菌，普遍存在于果蝇的内脏中。还讨论了肠道细菌在宿主营养、发育、生理和对杀虫剂和病原体的抗性中所起的作用。这篇综述概述了果蝇微生物组的结构，并指出了它在果蝇生理和生存中可以发挥的多种作用。它还考虑了将这些知识用于控制具有重要经济意义的果蝇的潜在用途，包括昆虫不育技术和诱饵诱饵。
