Olive fruit fly invaded California in 1998 and has since spread throughout all olive growing regions of the state. Populations have reached economically damaging levels in most areas where the fly has been present for 3 or more years. No specific parasitoids have been found associated with the fly in California or in Europe where it has been present for several thousand years. Foreign exploration was initiated to import parastioids associated with this serious olive pest from the native geographical range of the fly, sub-Sahara Africa and western Asia. Several species of braconids have been identified for importation: Psyttalia spp., Bracon spp., and Utetes africanus. These are currently under investigation for host specificity. We report on importation efforts and initial host testing studies.
