A recent example is the invasion in Europe and the USA by the cherry vinegar fly Drosophila suzukii. The pest has high potential to invade and establish itself in different climatic zones, the fact that is made clear by looking at the current global distribution map of the fly. The use of pesticide chemicals is so far the first line of defense against it due to lack of reliable alternatives. The use of pesticides against this fly has major problems including possible emergence of insecticide resistance du...
