Book (stand-alone)Guidelines on phytosanitary procedures for area-wide management of fruit fly pests 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This guideline describes the most widely used classic and modern phytosanitary procedures for the management of fruit flies that infest fruits and vegetables and that are of quarantine and economic importance, specifically species of the genera Anastrepha, Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Dacus, Rhagoletis and Zeugodacus. Pest management can be aimed at the native species of fruit flies or to prevent the introduction, establishment and spread of non-native species.This document is the first comprehensive guideline developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the united Nations (FAO) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for area-wide fruit fly pest management including area-wide suppression, containment, eradication, and exclusion strategies. It is a much-needed complement to the already published FAO/IAEA guidelines for fruit fly survey “Trapping Guidelines for Area-wide Fruit Fly Programmes” and “Fruit Sampling Guidelines for Area-Wide Fruit Fly Programmes”. -
Book (series)Integrating the sterile insect technique as a key component of area-wide tsetse and trypanosomiasis intervention 2001
Also available in:
No results found.Tsetse-transmitted trypanosomiasis remains a major constraint to livestock and agricultural development in large tracts of sub-Saharan Africa. A wide range of methods to reduce the impact of the disease have been developed. However, the application of each of these methods has limitations, and no single technique is powerful enough to sustain freedom from disease across different agro-ecological conditions and farming systems. -
Book (stand-alone)Guideline for packing, shipping, holding and release of sterile flies in area-wide fruit fly control programmes 2017
Also available in:
This guideline is an updated version of the one published in 2007. It is aimed at providing harmonized processes involved in the handling and release of sterile insects after production in mass rearing facilities to FAO or International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) member countries that want to embark on sterile insect technique (SIT) activities. There is also increased interest by the private sector in investing in sterile insect production and/or other SIT activities, and these harmonized guide lines on the post-production phase will facilitate SIT application and foster the commercialization of the SIT. This guideline resulted from two FAO/IAEA consultants' meetings with representatives of relevant SIT programmes, the first held in Sarasota, Florida, United States of America (April 2004) and the second in Vienna, Austria (August 2005). It also resulted from an in depth review of the first edition, conducted in 2014 and 2015 by SIT program managers and scientists working with SIT techn ology.
