Basic Information

Drosophila suzukii

Cherry Drosophila, Cherry Vinegar Fly

Drosophila suzukii, commonly called the spotted wing drosophila or SWD, is a fruit fly. D. suzukii, originally from southeast Asia, is becoming a major pest species in America and Europe because it infests fruit early during the ripening stage, in contrast with other Drosophila species that infest only rotting fruit. Native to east Asia, D. suzukii was first described in 1931 by Sh nen Matsumura, it was observed in Japan as early as 1916 by T. Kanzawa. D. suzukii is a fruit crop pest and is a serious economic threat to soft summer fruit, i.e., cherries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, grapes, and others. Research investigating the specific threat D. suzukii poses to these fruit is ongoing.
