In 2002, SAS has produced a set
of 2 colourful wall posters featuring the major fruit fly pests of the World.
This poster set will prove
to be an invaluable resource for quarantine agencies and others involved with
the detection, monitoring or control of fruit fly species.
Fruit flies represent one
of the most important quarantine pests of horticulture and the costs of eradication
and control are enormous. The rapid identification of a fruit fly species allows
for the most appropriate and rapid response to a new introduction to an area.
The posters feature high
quality photographs of the adult flies, mostly photographed live. For a number
of species they are the first published photographs. A total of 64 species are
featured on the posters. Information on the major types of fruit attacked and
the world distribution is presented for each species on a small map.
The lures that are most
suitable for use in fruit fly traps are listed for each species. In addition on
the first poster in the set, there is a section featuring the fruit fly life cycle
as well as a number of photographs of both external and internal damage to fruit
caused by fruit flies.
This is the first time
that such a database has been compiled. It was produced in response to requests
from a number of countries to provide information and photographs in a readily
usable format for quarantine personnel. The posters will actually provide a quick
reference guide for anyone working with fruit flies.
