Host preference of (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), major chili and nightshade pest, was studied using seven host plant species of family Solanaceae. Two nightshade species, eggplant, L. and turkey berry, Sw.; three pepper and one large chili cultivar of L., banana pepper, cayenne pepper, noom pepper and duey kai chili; and one small chili cultivar of L., bird chili, were used as tested host plants of for a series of choice test and no-choice test under the laboratory. Results revealed that preferred fruits for oviposition rather than fruits. Bird chili and banana pepper were the most preferred host for , with the highest number of pupae per gram of fruit in no-choice and choice experiment, respectively. Although the best larval performance parameters of were better for eggplant than for other Solanaceous plants, fruit characteristics and total phenolic content in fruit play a major role for host preference of . Turkey berry was least preferred by , with the lowest number of pupae per fruit and it was not oviposited by female fly under the choice situation at all stages of ripeness.
对主要危害辣椒和茄科植物的（亨德尔）（双翅目：实蝇科）的寄主偏好进行了研究，使用了茄科的七种寄主植物。两种茄科植物，茄子，茄属和水茄，茄属；三种辣椒和一种茄属的大辣椒品种，香蕉辣椒、辣椒、泰国甜椒和杜伊凯辣椒；以及一种茄属的小辣椒品种，鸟眼辣椒，被用作实验室一系列选择试验和无选择试验中该实蝇的受试寄主植物。结果表明，该实蝇更喜欢在辣椒果实上产卵而非茄子果实。鸟眼辣椒和香蕉辣椒分别是该实蝇在无选择试验和选择试验中每克果实蛹数量最多的最偏好寄主。尽管该实蝇幼虫的最佳性能参数在茄子上比在其他茄科植物上更好，但果实特征和果实中的总酚含量对该实蝇的寄主偏好起主要作用。水茄是该实蝇最不偏好的，每个果实的蛹数量最少，并且在成熟的各个阶段，雌蝇在选择情况下根本不在其上面产卵。
