REGISTRATION IS OPEN

 

In recent years, adult specimens of Bactrocera dorsalis and B. zonata have been detected in several EU countries during official surveys. These species are two of the four priority Tephritidae whose introduction and spread in the EU countries must be prevented. To enhance the preparedness to identify Bactrocera species, the EURL for Insects and Mites organises a training on the morphological indentification of Bactrocera. This training will be in the form of a webinar to reach as much NRLs as possible. Live observation of fruit fly specimens under the stereomicroscope will be carried out and participants will be guided in a step-by-step identification process. The participation of at leat on representative per NRL is strongly encouraged.  

 

The training will be held on Microsoft Teams on December 2^nd-3^rd (two half-days, mornings only).
