MASS TRAPPING AND OTHER MANAGEMENT OPTIONS FOR MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY AND QUEENSLAND FRUIT FLY IN AUSTRALIA

摘要

This review examines a number of fruit fly management strategies based on luring flies to a trap, including mass trapping, lure and kill, lure and infect, and lure and sterilize. Their possible role in suppression of two major fruit fly species in Australia, Mediterranean fruit fly and Queensland fruit fly is examined. We review the current trapping systems used in Australia for male and female monitoring, commercially available systems, and discuss the possible application of the sterile insect technique in lure and infect and lure and sterilize strategies.
