“…Therefore, the standard distance (estimated by the median) was statistically equivalent to the standard deviation. When the data from Dominiak et al (2011b) was reanalyzed, the median (standard distance) and the standard deviation were not similar. The theory of standard distance was developed for Mediterranean fruit ßy and would seem to be not well suited for B. tryoni.…”

“…An ALOP of 100 seems to be overly conservative and could easily be interpreted as a trade barrier. Perhaps a 3-fold ALOP (based on distance) covering Mϩ3SD would be a compromise [denoted as 3(Mϩ3SD)] and are shown in Table 2 by using data from Dominiak et al (2011b) as an example. There is no reason to choose or reject a 3-fold ALOP; however, it may well serve as an interim measure.…”

The fruit fly Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a species of significant quarantine concern to many countries. Currently, B. tryoni is found in parts of Australia and on some Pacific islands. Understanding dispersal behavior is important for the development of scientifically justified trade restrictions or quarantine distances for B. tryoni. These distances ensure adequate protection for overseas markets while also ensuring that growers sufficiently distant from the affected area are able to retain unrestricted access to markets. This review considers scientific data on dispersal and uses this information to make recommendations for appropriate quarantine distances. Most studies conclude that the lifetime dispersal distance of this species rarely exceeds 1 km, although three studies indicate that longer dispersal distances of a small number of individuals may occasionally occur. These short dispersal distances are consistent with findings for other fruit fly species. Triggers for long-distance dispersal, the fate of these individual flies, nutritional requirements to support this dispersal, and reasons for discrepancies in the dispersal distances reported in different studies are reviewed. Reasons for the inability of B. tryoni to establish along southern parts of the east coast of Australia before European colonization are postulated. A proposed quarantine distance is based on the scientific basis of the mean and 3 SD, with a 3-fold level of protection based on distance. It is proposed that an area contained by a circle with a radius of 1.2 km is a reasonable quarantine area for B. tryoni outbreaks where flies are contained within 200 m of an epicenter. Where total trappings are contained within 400 m of the epicenter, a quarantine distance of 2.4 km is recommended. Three other quarantine distances are proposed based on the formula by using the mean.

“…Chilled adult Q‐flies showed a reduced tendency for flight as the chilling time increased . Also, releasing chilled adult Q‐flies in the field gave the lowest recapture rate in comparison with other ground release methods . Similarly, chilled adult C. capitata displayed a significant decrease in their ability to fly …”

BACKGROUND Cool storage is a valuable means of manipulating insect development time. The Queensland fruit fly (Q‐fly) is Australia's most economically significant pest of fruit crops. The present study investigates cool storage of Q‐fly pupae for increasing production flexibility for sterile insect technique programs. Development time, survival and fly quality were assessed following continuous storage of 1‐day‐old pupae at temperatures ranging from 13 to 25 °C. RESULTS Survival was reduced almost to zero by pupal storage at 13 and 15 °C, was greatly reduced by storage at 17 °C, and was modestly reduced by storage at 19 °C. Pupal development time was extended by 16 days at 17 °C and by 9 days at 19 °C. Cool storage negatively affected flight ability and depleted lipid reserves. Cool storage at 19 °C enhanced the ability of 3‐day‐old adults to recover from chill‐coma compared to control flies, indicating cold acclimation. CONCLUSION There is potential for use of cool storage in Q‐fly mass rearing, especially to improve alignment between production and field releases. For the purpose of delaying the development time of Q‐fly pupae with minimal quality reduction, storage at 23 °C is recommended for 1‐day‐old pupae. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…In the area covering parts of the states of New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, B. tryoni populations are actively monitored and if detected treatments are applied so as to drive those populations to extinction [3]. The purpose of the "fruit fly free zone" is to allow fruit produces within that region to have international access for their crops without having to apply costly post-harvest fruit fly disinfestation treatments.…”

Abstract-In Australia, the Queensland fruit fly (B. tryoni), is the most destructive insect pest of horticulture, attacking nearly all fruit and vegetable crops. This project has researched and prototyped a system for monitoring fruit flies so that authorities can be alerted when a fly enters a crop in a more efficient manner than is currently used. This paper presents the idea of a sensor platform design as well as the fruit fly detection and recognition algorithm by using machine vision techniques. The experiments showed that the designed trap and sensor platform can capture quality fly images and the invasive flies can be detected with an average precision of 80%.
