It is 10 years since the first detection of the invader fruit fly, Bactrocera invadens, in sub-Saharan Africa. The pest continues to hamper fruit production and create barriers to trade. Strategies currently employed to control B. invadens are insufficient, and more effective area-wide strategies are needed. The sterile insect technique and molecular entomology approaches have high potential and could help to bring about effective area-wide control of the pest if adopted and used as components of area-wide integrated pest management.
自入侵性实蝇（Bactrocera invadens）首次在撒哈拉以南非洲被发现以来，已经过去了 10 年。该害虫继续影响水果生产，并对贸易造成障碍。目前用于控制 B. invadens 的策略并不充分，需要更有效的全区域策略。不育昆虫技术和分子昆虫学方法具有很大的潜力，如果被采用并作为全区域综合虫害管理的组成部分，将有助于实现对该害虫的有效全区域控制。
