fly, Mediterranean fruit fly, and Oriental fruit fly in California. APHIS is also
working with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to
manage the European cherry fruit fly in upstate New York.
Invasive fruit flies feed on over 400 crops, including citrus and other fruits, nuts,
vegetables, and berries. Fruit flies can damage fruits and vegetables when they lay
their eggs under the skin of the produce. There, developing larvae make the fruits
and vegetables unfit for human consumption. Infested produce may not look
damaged from the outside but may take on a brown, mottled appearance as the
larvae feed from the inside. Resources to combat invasive fruit fly threats are
limited, so developing an efficient strategy to manage or eradicate invasive fruit
flies is critical. To reduce the spread, APHIS and affected states will work
together to reduce, and to the extent possible, prevent human-assisted movement.
Together, we will also promote public reporting to encourage early detection, and
we will leverage the latest research and management tools available. The 5-Year
Strategy drives Federal and State responders to explore new population
suppression technologies, such as male annihilation technique, mass trapping, and
the development of new and/or improved sterile fruit fly strains. Integrating these
new technologies into the inter-agency response to invasive fruit flies will help
improve the program’s efficiency.
The new strategy also builds the capacity to combat invasive fruit flies in areas at
high risk of introduction and will leverage the public’s assistance to prevent further
spread of these damaging agricultural pests. Federal and State partners will also
unite their research resources and share knowledge about fruit flies to limit their
movement and distribution. While leveraging best practices in the field, State and
Federal partners will prioritize more research on climate and host-plant suitability,
as well as other effective management tools.
Federal and state fruit fly quarantines do not extend into Tribal lands, but the
invasive fruit flies could impact Tribal communities near the quarantine areas.
APHIS consulted with Tribes on the five-year strategy in August 2023 and will
continue to engage Tribes and solicit feedback on the fruit fly management and
outreach strategy.
