“…The frequent encounter of Z. cucurbitae, D. punctatifrons and D. bivittatus across the ecological zones as dominant agricultural pests have been also reported in different parts of Africa [2,15,28,42,49]. The other species from the genus Dacus were also found but in low numbers, often represented by very few specimens per field.…”

“…The vast majority of these are indigenous to SSA while a few are of exotic origin [2,35,46]. The impacts of fruit fly infestation on horticultural crops in SSA continue to be a major challenge to farmers [2,35,46], and the biodiversity monitoring studies have been few and have contributed to the further development of management strategies [ 2,29,30,42,48,54]. In general, there is a fair amount of fruit fly diversity studies in SSA [23,24,43,48,62], but limited ones on cucurbit crops specifically.…”

“…The vegetable-damaging fruit fly species in sub-Saharan Africa include both the natives Dacus spp. (Fabricius) [Diptera: Tephritidae] and the invasive Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett) [Diptera: Tephritidae] ( Vayssières et al 2007 , Ryckewaert et al 2010 , De Meyer et al 2012 , Mokam et al 2018 , Layodé et al 2020 ). Zeugodacus cucurbitae (formerly named Bactrocera cucurbitae ) is native to Central Asia ( Drew and Hancock 2000 ), and its first record from the African mainland was restricted to coastal Tanzania and Kenya, and dates back to 1936 ( Bianchi and Krauss 1937 ).…”

“…In La Reunion Island, Z. cucurbitae , D. ciliatus (Loew) [Diptera: Tephritidae], and Dacus demmerezi (Bezzi) [Diptera: Tephritidae] are the main insect pests of cucurbitaceous crops and cause up to 90% of yield loss ( Vayssières et al 2008 ). In Central Africa, Mokam et al (2018) showed that Dacus bivittatus and Dacus ciliatus appeared to be the major insect pests associated with cucurbit crop species in Cameroon. Several authors reported the infestation of vegetable crops by fruit flies ( Vayssières et al 2007 , 2008 , Layodé et al 2020 , Ouédraogo et al 2020 ) in West Africa.…”

“…Fruit flies belonging to the family Tephritidae are among the most economically important insect pests of horticultural crops (Badii et al 2015;Ekesi et al 2016;Yazid et al 2020). They attack and cause economic damage to a variety of crops including citrus (Lloyd et al 2010;Vayssieres et al 2010), mango (Ansari et al 2012;Gnanvossou et al 2017;Hanna et al 2020), guava (Birke et al 2015), melon (Dhillon et al 2005;Ansari et al 2012;Mokam et al 2018) and papaya (Ansari et al 2012). About 200 species of known tephritid fruit flies are pests, of which some are polyphagous and may switch host plants depending on their location, season and available host plants (Lloyd et al 2010;Vayssiéres et al 2010;Ansari et al 2012;Kambura et al 2018).…”
