Members of the true fruit flies (family Tephritidae) are among the most serious agricultural pests worldwide, whose control and management demands large and costly international efforts. The need for cost-effective and environmentally friendly integrated pest management (IPM) has led to the development and implementation of autocidal control strategies. These approaches include the widely used sterile insect technique and the incompatible insect technique (IIT). IIT relies on maternally transmitted bacteria (namely ) to cause a conditional sterility in crosses between released mass-reared -infected males and wild females, which are either uninfected or infected with a different strain (i.e., cytoplasmic incompatibility; CI). Herein, we review the current state of knowledge on -tephritid interactions including infection prevalence in wild populations, phenotypic consequences, and their impact on life history traits. Numerous pest tephritid species are reported to harbor infections, with a subset exhibiting high prevalence. The phenotypic effects of have been assessed in very few tephritid species, due in part to the difficulty of manipulating infection (removal or transinfection). Based on recent methodological advances (high-throughput DNA sequencing) and breakthroughs concerning the mechanistic basis of CI, we suggest research avenues that could accelerate generation of necessary knowledge for the potential use of -based IIT in area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) strategies for the population control of tephritid pests.
实蝇科（Tephritidae）的成员是全球最严重的农业害虫之一，对其进行控制和管理需要大规模且成本高昂的国际努力。对具有成本效益且环境友好的综合害虫管理（IPM）的需求促使了自灭控制策略的开发与实施。这些方法包括广泛使用的不育昆虫技术和昆虫不相容技术（IIT）。IIT依靠母系传播的细菌（即 ），在大量饲养的感染 的雄性与未感染或感染不同 菌株的野生雌性杂交时导致条件性不育（即细胞质不相容；CI）。在此，我们综述了关于实蝇与 的相互作用的当前知识状态，包括野生种群中的感染率、表型后果及其对生活史特征的影响。据报道，许多实蝇害虫物种都携带 感染，其中一部分具有高感染率。由于操纵 感染（去除或转染）存在困难，在极少数实蝇物种中评估了 的表型效应。基于近期的方法学进展（高通量DNA测序）以及关于CI机制基础的突破，我们提出了一些研究途径，这些途径可能会加速生成必要的知识，以便在实蝇害虫种群控制的区域综合害虫管理（AW - IPM）策略中潜在地使用基于 的IIT。
