“…Our results showed that B. dorsalis did not displace the indigenous species C. cosyra and C. silvestrii from mango and shea fruits, respectively, in Western Burkina Faso, but had led to a decrease of their infestation rates. This had also been concluded by Zida et al (2020). The results of this study therefore corroborate previous studies showing that, where exotic tephritid species have been introduced into areas already occupied by a native tephritid species, interspecific competition occurs and result in a decrease in numbers and niche shifts of the indigenous species, albeit without leading to complete exclusion (Duyck et al, 2004;Ekesi et al, 2009;Mwatawala et al, 2009).…”

In Western Burkina Faso, the host range of fruit flies was evaluated in three plant formations between May 2017 and April 2019. Samples of 61 potential hosts were collected and incubated for fruit fly emergence. Twenty-seven hosts including cultivated and wild fruit were identified. Among cultivated fruit species, mango, and guava were the most infested while high infestation incidences were observed in the fruit of the indigenous plants Vitellaria paradoxa, Annona senegalensis, Sarcocephalus latifolius, and Saba senegalensis. Low infestation rates were observed in Anacardium occidentale, Citrus species, Opilia celtidifolia, and Cissus populnea. The highest infestation index (1648.57 flies kg−1) was observed from V. paradoxa. Eleven new host fruit infested with many fruit fly species are reported in Burkina Faso. A total of 18 fruit fly species were reared; Bactrocera dorsalis (42.94%), Ceratitis cosyra (29.93%), and Ceratitis silvestrii (22.33%) dominated those that emerged. Four fruit fly species have been detected for the first time in Burkina Faso. The main suitable fruit hosts are abundant and available from May through August during the rainy season and become rare and have low infestation from November to April during the dry season. This is the first study of its kind in the region. This study shows that the three plant formations had an impact on population dynamics of the three tephritid species of economic importance in Western Burkina Faso. This information should be integrated into the development of a fruit fly pests management strategy.

“…According to previous studies, the native mango/marula fly C. cosyra is steadily being displaced by the invasive B. dorsalis (Ekesi et al ., 2009). Nevertheless, recent studies in Burkina Faso have reported a relatively stable co-existence between C. cosyra and B. dorsalis (Zida et al ., 2020). The co-infestation of both species at the colour break phenological stage observed during this study confirms this stable co-existence among these two species depending on favourable environmental conditions.…”

Crop phenological studies are vital in the formulation of effective integrated pest management packages. A 2-year phenological study spanning 2017–2019 was conducted in eight mango orchards in the transition zone of Ghana, to determine the relationship between the aggregation of culprit fruit fly species and the phenology of the mango crop. A total of 160 shoots were tagged and observed weekly for the plant's developmental processes using the Biologische Bundesantalt, Bundessortenamt and Chemische Industrie mango phenological scale as a guide. Fruit fly monitoring was conducted with two para pheromone attractants (methyl eugenol and terpinyl acetate) in 32 improvised traps. Host fruits sampled at colour break and ripe stages were incubated to identify culprit species. Significant infestation levels were assessed with one way analysis of variance. Three culprit species (Bactrocera dorsalis, Ceratitis cosyra and Ceratitis ditissima) emerged from incubated fruits. Co-infestation between B. dorsalis and C. cosyra was observed mostly at colour break. A residual population of B. dorsalis was observed throughout the crop cycle but peaked at the colour break phenological stage in May and early June, and dropped in August (at post-harvest). The interaction among fruit fly species, season, fruit source and phenological stage of the fruit was significant (P = 0.016). C. cosyra appeared at the beginning of anthesis, increased during flowering to fruit set and peaked in April when fruits were nearing maturity and green. It is therefore important that management practices are implemented throughout the phenological cycle of the crop but intensified from anthesis to post-harvest to reduce pest populations and damage.

“…long, are performed at 37-42°C and offer high sensitivity even with minuscule amounts of starting material (Aman et al 2020). Amplification of a pool of several specimens is of great benefit since co-infestation of fruit by different Tephritidae and Drosophilidae families occur regularly (Deus et al 2016;Zida et al 2020;Moquet et al 2021). Therefore, an amplification method that allows the pooling of different specimens as well as multiplexed detection of the different targets in the pool can prove beneficial for simple in-situ detection of pests.…”

Bactrocera zonata, a major fruit pest species, is gradually spreading west from its native habitat in East Asia. In recent years it has become a major threat to the Mediterranean area, with the potential of invading Europe, the Americas, and Australia. To prevent its spreading, monitoring efforts in plantation sites and border controls are carried out. Despite these efforts, and due to morphological similarities between B. zonata and other pests in relevant developmental stages, the monitoring process is challenging, time-consuming, and requires external assistance from professional labs. CRISPR-Cas12a genetic diagnostics has been rapidly developing in recent years and provides an efficient tool for the genetic identification of pathogens, viruses, and other genetic targets. Here we design a CRISPR-Cas12a detection assay that differentially detects two major pest species, B. zonata and Ceratitis capitata. Our easy-to-use and affordable assay employs a simple DNA extraction technique together with isothermal amplification, and Cas12a-based detection. We demonstrate the specificity and high sensitivity of this method, and its relevance for on-site applications. This method is highly modular, and the presented target design method can be applied to a wide array of pests. Contribution: G.P conceived the project, D.M.A, G.P and D.B designed the experiments and wrote the manuscript, and D.M.A and T.P performed the experiments. Acknowledgments: We thank Dr. Liat Gidron, Dr. Yoav Gazit, and Dr. David Nestel for fly supplies and fruitful discussions. We thank Dr. Karin Mittelman for her insightful comments on the manuscript.
