Abstract: New Zealand’s National Fruit Fly Surveillance Programme entails seasonal monitoring for the presence of economically important fruit flies, using lure traps placed at high-risk locations throughout the country. This programme was initiated in the mid-1970s to help provide assurance that New Zealand is free from economically important fruit flies, and as an early warning of fruit fly incursions to assist in an eradication effort.
