DNA Metabarcoding Enables High-Throughput Detection of Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) Within Unsorted Trap Catches

The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii, Matsumara) is a rapidly Glass nail file spreading global pest of soft and stone fruit production.Due to the similarity of many of its life stages to other cosmopolitan drosophilids, surveillance for this pest is currently bottlenecked by the laborious sorting and morphological identification of large
