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.
