“…Despite the hot and dry climate of the Sahara, this pest occurs in these oases, where the microclimate is favourable for its development. It is even reported in the province of El Oued on Capsicum annuum cultivated in glasshouses (Mostefaoui et al 2020). In addition, the diff erent crops in these oases mature at different times, which enables this pest to reproduce continuously.…”

This study was carried out in order to determine the initial distribution of Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (1824) (Diptera, Tephrididae) in Algeria, the area now occupied and assess the role of climate change in determining its current distribution. The various surveys and trapping of adults indicate that in addition to the coastal, sub-coastal and Argan regions, this fly is also present in oases. It is reported in all the traditional oases where fruit trees are intercropped with date palm. From the 2000s, the area occupied by this fruit fly increased and spread into provinces where it was not previously reported. Gradually, it increased in abundance and became an important pest. The climate data recorded in the province of Batna (Aurès Mountains, Saharan Atlas) indicate there has been a change in climate. The annual and monthly average temperatures and relative humidity for the period 2000–2018, in this province became more favourable for this fruit fly than in the period 1913–1937, in particular, during the months of March, April, October and November. The results also indicate that in orchards where there are several types of fruit, the numbers of this fly are higher than where mainly apples are grown.

“…Several fruit flies attack diverse species of fruit (El-Heneidy et al, 2019;Food and Agriculture Organization, 2015;Łabanowska & Piotrowski, 2015;Mahmoud et al, 2019;Nebie et al, 2021;Orhan et al, 2016). In Algeria, fruit fly pose a risk to most commercial fruit; some species of the Tephritidae family are introduced pests and are very common in Mitidja and in many regions where fruit production is intense (Chergui et al, 2020;Laamari et al, 2022;Mostefaoui et al, 2020;Settaoui et al, 2017). The dense vegetation cover of the steppes near the Chotts, particularly in Djelfa, provides a favourable environment for the development of arthropods harmful to agriculture and humans (Khadoumi, et al, 2022;Messaoudene et al, 2023).…”

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are cosmopolitan, species-rich, and yet poorly studied in Algeria, particularly in the agro area of Djelfa. We sampled fruit flies in orchard containing three types of trees apricot, fig and grapes at each site, using the yellow traps. Results show that the orchard differed significantly in species richness, abundance, diversity and evenness. A total of 956 individuals distributed by nine species of Diptera, including four species of fruit flies are collected. The results revealed that most abundant species are Drosophila melanogaster at the apricot fruit site (RA%=28.32%), Zaprionus indianus at fig fruit site (RA%=34.74 %) and Tephritis praecox at the grapes fruit site with (RA%= 51.61 %). The orchard selected a greater number of species and individuals, and higher diversity indices H′=2.40 bits; 2.32 bits and 2.02 bits. Statistically, the result of stepwise multiple regressions revealed a very strong correlation between the number of fruit fly species and the temperatures with (r=93.1%) and (Sig .000**). Thus, fruit flies appear to have rather arrow with the host plant requirements and their phenology was correlated with environmental differences. Our study highlighted for; the first time; the presence of Trupanea amoena in Algeria. This important and substantial preliminary work on this new species in Algeria provides a solid basis for future research and extension of the study in particular for monitoring and control of this dreaded agricultural pest.

“…Many of them are known for their impact on many crops in the world's tropical areas (James et al, 2010). The three species, Ceratitis capitata, Silba capsicarum and Tuta absoluta which were the most abundant species in the studied plant are known to especially attack pepper fruits and cause significant damage (Mostefaoui et al, 2020). Furthermore, C. capitata is commonly recorded from a wide range of Solanaceae fruits pests (Elono-Azang et al, 2016;Heumou et al, 2015).…”

Pepper is a vegetable which plays an important role in the human diet and health. Many insects attack this plant and decrease its production in the absence of appropriate phytosanitary treatment. Thus, the objective of the present study was to record the arthropods associated with the yellow and red pepper varieties. For this purpose, weekly observations were conducted during two cropping cycles on 192 plants, using a completely randomized device. As results, the fauna of the pepper was very diverse and stable (specific richness 47 and Equitability index 0.86). The yellow pepper was the most sensitive with an average of nine insect species per plant versus eight on the red pepper. These insects belonged to seven orders (Arachnida, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera and the Orthoptera), 28 families and 47 species. The densest orders were Diptera represented by Ceratitis capitata, Silba capsicarum, followed by Hymenoptera were represented by Camponotus floridanus, Camponotus acvapimensis and Crematogaster sp. and Hemiptera represented by Aphis gossypii, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Pseudococcus sp. The present study provided a database on arthropodofauna of the pepper plant. This is of paramount importance for the development of healthy and sustainable protection strategies among pepper producers in order to improve national production.
