Classical biological control (CBC) is considered a safer and more sustainable alternative for management of alien-invasive species. This review presents recent advances in CBC of key horticultural insect pests using parasitoids in Africa. Several CBC programs have been undertaken targeting different insect pests of both fruits and vegetables, largely yielding outstanding success. Key obstacles impeding CBC and opportunities that could promote CBC in Africa are outlined. Also, very brief highlights on recent scientific and technological advances in modeling, integrative taxonomy and molecular tools, and endosymbionts that relate to CBC are provided.
经典生物防治（CBC）被认为是管理外来入侵物种的一种更安全、更可持续的替代方法。本综述介绍了非洲利用寄生蜂对主要园艺害虫进行经典生物防治的最新进展。已经开展了几个针对水果和蔬菜不同害虫的经典生物防治项目，大多取得了显著成功。概述了阻碍非洲经典生物防治的主要障碍以及可能促进经典生物防治的机遇。此外，还简要介绍了与经典生物防治相关的建模、综合分类学和分子工具以及内共生体方面的最新科技进展。
