“…Tuta absoluta attained global prominence as an invasive pest in 2006 when it was introduced into Spain (Tropea Garzia et al 2012). It has since invaded other countries in Europe, the Mediterranean, northern Africa (Desneux et al 2011;Mohamed et al 2012), and South Asia (Kalleshwaraswamy et al 2015;Shashank et al 2015;Bajracharya et al 2016;Hossain et al 2016). Tuta absoluta also crossed the Sahara Desert and is now seen as a serious threat to tomato production in sub-saharan Africa (Brévault et al 2014), where preliminary reports suggest it has already reached South Africa, invading Tanzania and several other countries on the way (Chidege et al 2016;Campos et al 2017).…”

“…The invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), has become a serious threat to tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. (Solanaceae), production worldwide (Desneux et al., ). It was first detected in Spain in 2006 (Desneux et al., ) and then spread throughout Europe and the Mediterranean Basin (Guenaoui, ; Desneux et al., ), Middle East (Cheraghian & Emamzadeh, ; Campos et al., ), and Asia (Kalleshwaraswamy et al., ; Sankarganesh et al., ; Xian et al., ). The pest spread to sub‐Saharan Africa (Biondi et al., ), including Eritrea and Sudan (Mohamed et al., ), Ethiopia (Retta & Berhe, ), Niger (Adamou et al., ), Senegal (Pfeiffer et al., ), Kenya (Tonnang et al., ), Uganda (Tumuhaise et al., ), and Tanzania (Chidege et al., ).…”

Insect pest populations exhibit seasonal dynamics in response to changes in resource availability or other environmental factors such as climatic conditions, natural enemies, and intra‐ or interspecific competition. Understanding such dynamics is critical for developing effective integrated pest management strategies. The objective of the present study was to identify factors driving the seasonal decline of the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), in the shifting landscape of a vegetable‐growing area in Senegal. A set of 42 tomato fields was monitored for the number of T. absoluta adults caught in pheromone traps and for the incidence of larvae, during 5 months from June to November 2016 in the Niayes area (Senegal). The surface of solanaceous host crops, climatic conditions, and abundance of natural enemies were also monitored. A drastic decline in T. absoluta abundance was observed during the rainy season. The decrease in resource availability, especially tomato crops, in the surrounding landscape of monitored fields was the main factor affecting the population dynamics during the rainy season. However, alternative host crops such as eggplant and Ethiopian eggplant, can provide ‘reservoirs’ for residual populations of the pest. For applied purpose, it would be interesting to focus the management efforts on residual populations during the rainy season, to make more difficult the reconstitution of populations during the dry season.

“…In India, T. absoluta was first reported during 2014-15 in and around Bengaluru in Karnataka (Sridhar et al, 2014) and Pune in Maharashtra (Shashank et al, 2015). Subsequently, it has been reported from several states of India causing up to 90.0-100.0% tomato fruit damage (Kalleshwaraswamy et al, 2015;Kumari et al, 2015;Ballal et al, 2016;Swathi et al, 2017;Rasheed et al, 2017;Sidhu et al, 2017;Balaji et al, 2018). Thus, it is considered as a key pest of closed as well as open-field tomato cultivation which threatens tomato growers and allied industries.…”

The tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the major invasive insect pests on solanaceous crops. T. absoluta distribution is observed in European, North African Mediterranean basin and Asian countries. The tomato leaf miner is spreading fast and affecting tomato production in both closed and open-field conditions. This insect pest has recently reported in various tomato growing regions of India and causing significant loss of production. In the present study, occurrence of a tomato leaf miner was studied by undertaking an extensive survey in tomato growing regions of India during September 2017 to May 2018. The infestation of T. absoluta was recorded in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. Severe incidence of T. absoluta infestation was recorded in Maharashtra (Nashik district) and Telangana (Mahabubnagar district) followed by Karnataka (Kalaburgi and Raichur districts). The moths collected during the survey were characterized using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene analysis. The T. absoluta samples showed maximum genetic similarity with KU565720 Kenya,
