Surveillance and Monitoring for the Invasive Fruit Fly (Bactrocera invadens)

摘要

Bactrocera invadens, is a pest of Asian origin capable of infesting many commercial fruit crops. It was first detected on the African continent, in Kenya, in 2003. It is now listed in most countries in Western, Eastern and Central Africa as well as in some Southern African countries: Mozambique, Zambia and Namibia. In 2010, specimens of this invasive pest were intercepted in South Africa, in two separate areas in northern Limpopo, and in Botswana's Chobe district.
