Sampling in action

Spotted-winged fly

( Drosophila suzukii )

In this short film, we tell you how to sample the spotted-wing fly, a pest that primarily affects fruit crops in Chile.

Horn fly

( Haematobia irritans )

In this short film, we tell you how we sample the horn fly, one of the four species in our ring project.

Kissing bug

( Triatoma infestans )

In this short film, we tell you how to sample the vinchuca, a species of great interest in the field of public health.
