Model for predicting potential areas of invasion and infestation of the Natal Fruit fly and the invasive Fruit fly
Develop a model for predicting the potential areas of invasion and infestation of the Natal fruit fly (Ceratitis rosa) and the invasive fruit fly (Bactrocera invadens) (Tephritidae, Diptera) outside its area of origin by using different climatic modelling programmes and environmental predictor variable data. Comparison of predictive model with that for the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata).
