Populations of Drosophila suzukii fruit flies—so-called "spotted-wing Drosophila" that devastate soft-skinned fruit in North America, Europe and parts of South America—could be greatly suppressed with the introduction of genetically modified D. suzukii flies that produce only males after mating, according to new research from North Carolina State University.
