Synopsis (short abstract) There are over 4500 fruit fly species in the world and more than 50 of them are classified as major pests. There have been cases of succesful eradication of fruit flies in the Pacific, such as, in Nauru (Mango fruit fly, Breadfruit fruit fly, Oriental fruit fly) from 1998 - 2000 and the Oriental fruit fly in the 1960s. The fruit fly management fact sheet outlines the impacts of three species of fruit flies (Mango fruit fly, Breadfruit fruit fly, Oriental fruit fly) in Palau. The fact sheet describes the biology, distribution, hosts and method of control of the fruit flies.

    Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures. Guidelines for the confirmation of non-host status of fruit and vegetables to tephritid fruit flies 2005
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    A standard method for the confirmation of non-host status of fruit and vegetables to tephritid fruit flies has important ramifications for international trade in many fresh fruit and vegetable commodities. Non-host or conditional non-host status at a particular stage of harvest maturity can be used as a phytosanitary measure to ensure freedom from fruit fly infestation. However, published records of hosts for particular fruit fly species may not always be reliable for determining non-host stat us for phytosanitary purposes. They may be misleading, incomplete or incorrect for negotiating market access protocols. This standard uses well-known techniques to provide a regular methodology for solving the problem of inaccurate host status records or the absence of host status information. This standard was endorsed by the by the twenty-fourth session of the Asia and Pacific Plant Protection Commission (APPPC) held in Bangkok, Thailand in September 2005. Regional standards for phytosa nitary measures are developed and adopted by APPPC as part of the plant protection programme of the Commission's contracting parties to support regional harmonization and facilitate trade of commodities by member countries.
