In Argentina there are two tephritid fruit fly species of major economic and quarantine importance: the exotic Ceratitis capitata that originated from Southeast Africa and the native Anastrepha fraterculus. In recent years, the use of fruit fly parasitoids as biocontrol agents has received renewed attention. This increasing interest has recently led to the establishment of a program for the mass rearing of five million Diachasmimorpha longicaudata parasitoids per week in the BioPlanta San Juan facility, San Juan, Argentina. The first augmentative releases of D. longicaudata in Argentina are currently occurring on commercial fig crops in rural areas of San Juan as part of an integrated fruit fly management program on an area-wide basis. In this context, research is ongoing to assess the suitability of indigenous parasitoid species for successful mass rearing on larvae of either C. capitata or A. fraterculus. The purpose of this article is to provide a historical overview of the biological control of the fruit fly in Argentina, report on the strategies currently used in Argentina, present information on native parasitoids as potential biocontrol agents, and discuss the establishment of a long-term fruit fly biological control program, including augmentative and conservation modalities, in Argentina's various fruit growing regions.
在阿根廷，有两种实蝇对经济和检疫具有重大意义：源自非洲东南部的外来地中海实蝇（Ceratitis capitata）和本土兄弟按实蝇（Anastrepha fraterculus）。近年来，将实蝇寄生蜂用作生物防治剂受到了新的关注。这种日益增长的兴趣最近促使在阿根廷圣胡安的BioPlanta设施中建立了一个每周大规模饲养500万只长尾潜蝇茧蜂（Diachasmimorpha longicaudata）寄生蜂的项目。长尾潜蝇茧蜂在阿根廷的首次增殖性释放目前正在圣胡安市农村地区的商业无花果作物上进行，这是一项区域范围内果蝇综合管理计划的一部分。在此背景下，正在进行研究以评估本土寄生蜂物种对成功大规模饲养地中海实蝇或兄弟按实蝇幼虫的适用性。本文的目的是提供阿根廷果蝇生物防治的历史概述，报告阿根廷目前使用的策略，介绍作为潜在生物防治剂的本土寄生蜂的信息，并讨论在阿根廷不同水果种植区建立长期果蝇生物防治计划，包括增殖性和保护型模式。
