DETTLER, María A. et al. Field infestation level of Zaprionus indianus Gupta and Drosophíla suzukii (Matsumura) (Díptera: Drosophilidae) in Ficus carica L. (Rosales: Moraceae) and Rubus idaeus L. (Rosales: Rosaceae) in the Northeast of Buenos Aires province. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2021, vol.80, n.3, pp.43-47. ISSN 0373-5680.  http://dx.doi.org/doi.org/10.25085/rsea.800307.

Two exotic fruit flies species, Zaprionus indianus Gupta and Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), were detected in Argentina in recent years. In this note, the southernmost detection of Z indianus in Argentina and an estimation of the field infestation level caused by both drosophilid species on figs (Ficus carica L.) and raspberries (Rubus idaeus L.) are reported.
