Fruit flies are pests of great economic importance due to their quarantine pest status and losses recorded in West Africa. An inventory of parasitoids associated with fruit flies in mangoes, guavas, cashew, pepper and major wild fruit crops was carried out in northern-central Benin in 2005, 2006,...

Introduction. Knowledge of tephritid diversity in Senegal was poor before 2004, so PIP-COLEACP and CIRAD, in collaboration with Cérès-DPV, carried out, in 2004, trapping for preliminary detection of fruit flies in six orchards in the Niayes zone. Materials and methods. We selected three mixed man...

In Mali, 1205 mangos (Mangifera indicaL.) were sampled between April and September 2000 andplaced under observation. We recovered 7518 adults of six species of Ceratitis, namely C. cosyra (Walker), C. silvestriiBezzi, C. quinaria (Bezzi), C. fasciventris (Bezzi), C. anonae Graham and C. ditissima...

ants are appreciated for their control of pests in plantation crops. However,
the ants ? nest building may have negative impacts on trees. In this study we tested
the effect of ant densities and nest building on the leaf performance of mango trees.
Trees were divided into three gro...
Trade is important for economic development and growth; however, it is also the principal means of introducing invasive pests and disease vectors that can cause environmental damage and economic losses and pose a serious risk to biodiversity. Invasive pests and trade have created a two-way linkag...

Fruit flies associated with mango trees were monitored in two orchards in Benin using traps baited withmethyl eugenol, terpinyl acetate andToruladuring 2005–2006. Population fluctuations were analysedwith respect to environmental factors including air temperature, relative humidity and rainfall i...

Correlation of fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) infestation of major mango cultivars in Borgou (Benin) with abiotic and biotic factors and assessment of damage
Tephritidae have a major economic importance in the tropical areas. In Benin, we had only very little information available on the mango fruit fly species, except the demonstration of their damage. We therefore carried out the first investigations in Northern Benin during the mango season in 2005...
