The action plan is a recommended response for survey, containment and eradication following a find of Bactrocera invadens in an area having an existing trapping network for the above invasive fruit fly. This plan also provides for options to control the fruit fl y in areas where it is present. The Action plan was developed for the South African B. invadens Steering Committee, to be convened under the auspices of the National Plant Protection Organisation (NPPOZA) of the South African Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF). The action plan forms part of the South African Emergency Plant Pest Response Plan (SAEPPRP). However, this plan is available to any other SADC country (or the region) that may wish to make use of it. The action plan has been developed taking the principles of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) and the relevant International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM’s) into consideration. Surveillance plays a crucial role in the implementation of this action plan.
