Abstract

The spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) – SWD) is one of the most recently introduced invasive pests of economical importance in Europe. It has invaded many countries in Europe and North America causing significant losses in fruit production. In 2012, the species has been detected for the first time in Hungary at a highway rest area. The following year a countrywide trapping program was conducted to monitor the spreading of the species. In 2013, thirty-three highway rest areas and furthermore cherry, strawberries, raspberries, peach, grape orchards were monitored using apple vinegar bait traps. Altogether 33 individuals of SWD have been captured in 5 localities along highways in western Hungary, including the collecting site of the first detection. On the other hand the species was not found in countryside orchards. The location of the collecting sites indicates that international transport along highways plays an important role in spreading of SWD. Highway infrastructures, like selective trash bins, or buildings may serve as refugee spots for SWD. The role of vehicle transport in the spreading of SWD is also supported by the relatively high spreading rate of SWD, which was estimated around 320–390 km year-1.
