Update of the technical leaflet released in six languages on the discrimination between two invasive Bactrocera fruit fly pests
Bactrocera zonata (peach fruit fly) sometimes overlaps in terms of distribution with Bactrocera dorsalis (Oriental fruit fly). A technical leaflet to help to discriminate among these two invasive pest species, was updated and produced in?Arabic,?Chinese,?English,?French,?Portuguese, and?Spanish. The leaflet will be useful for countries and regions where these species are present or at risk of incursion helping to implement the recommended emergency response and is now available to regulatory agencies, surveillance and identification staff, growers of horticultural products and other stakeholders. It was prepared by Marc De Meyer (Royal Museum for Central Africa, Belgium) and Ian White (formerly research associate Natural History Museum, UK).

“The Dashboard” for Managers of Sterile Insect Technique Production Facilities
The Dashboard is composed of an?Excel spreadsheet?and a graphic display. It has been designed primarily for managers and staff as a working tool to monitor insect mass-rearing operations at production facilities. This mass-rearing metrics allows managers to follow their daily production performance in a Dashboard format. Monitoring operation activities helps to quickly identify production problems, take corrective actions, and measure their impact on improving processes and planning.
