地中海实蝇Ceratitis capitata（Wiedemann）是以色列柑橘和许多其他水果的主要害虫。2002年至2004年，以色列引进并释放了四种寄生地中海实蝇的茧蜂：卵蛹寄生蜂Fopius cumberanus和F. ceratitivorus;和幼虫-预蛹寄生蜂Psyttalia concolor（complex）和Diachasmimorpha krausii。所有最初培养的地中海果蝇，并尽快建立稳定的殖民地，与相当大的比例的女性男性，拟寄生蜂被释放在该领域。为了增加建立的机会，网站轴承高和稳定的地中海果蝇种群（如后院和果园与各种水果品种）被选为定期释放寄生虫。通过水果取样监测了该国不同地点的恢复和建立。这四种植物都被发现，至少有两种，F。ceratitivorus和D. krausii，已经显示出长期建立的迹象。(C)2008年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
The Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is a key pest of citrus and many other fruits in Israel. Four braconid species that parasitize medfly were imported into Israel and released between 2002 and 2004: the egg-pupal parasitoids Fopius arisanus and F. ceratitivorus; and the larval-prepupal parasitoids Psyttalia concolor (complex) and Diachasmimorpha krausii. All were initially cultured on medfly, and as soon as stable colonies were established, with a substantial ratio of females to males, the parasitoids were released in the field. To increase the chances for establishment, sites bearing high and stable medfly populations (e.g. back yards and orchards with a variety of fruit species) were chosen for periodical parasitoid releases. Recovery and, establishment at various sites in the country were monitored by fruit sampling. All four species were recovered, and at least two, F. ceratitivorus and D. krausii, have shown signs of long-term establishment. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
