摘要

Biological control is the purposeful introduction of parasites, predators, and pathogens to reduce or suppress pest populations. Wolbachia are inherited bacteria of arthropods that have recently attracted attention for their potential as new biocontrol agents. Wolbachia manipulate host reproduction by using several strategies, one of which is cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) [Stouthamer, R., Breeuwer, J. A. J. & Hurst, G. D. D. (1999) Annu. Rev. Microbiol. 53, 71-102]. We established Wolbachia-infected lines of the medfly Ceratitis capitata using the infected cherry fruit fly Rhagoletis cerasi as donor. Wolbachia induced complete CI in the novel host. Laboratory cage populations were completely suppressed by single releases of infected males, suggesting that Wolbachia-induced CI could be used as a novel environmentally friendly tool for the control of medfly populations. The results also encourage the introduction of Wolbachia into pest and vector species of economic and hygenic relevance to suppress or modify natural populations.

J.&Hurst,G.D.D.(1999) Rev.微生物。 53,71-102]。我们建立了用感染的樱桃果蝇Rhagoletis cerasi作为供体的地中海果蝇Medfly Ceratitis capitata感染品系。 Wolbachia在新型宿主中诱导完全CI。实验室笼的种群被单次释放的感染雄性完全抑制了,这表明Wolbachia诱导的CI可以用作控制地中海果蝇种群的新型环保工具。结果还鼓励将Wolbachia引入具有经济和卫生意义的有害生物和媒介物种,以抑制或改变自然种群。
