Target transcripts included several genes involved in medfly immunity and male or female reproductive functions.

Understanding invasion risk and mitigation of medfly in agricultural landscapes requires knowledge of its population structure and dispersal patterns.

Mass trapping was therefore proved to be an effective and eco-friendly tool for managing medfly on peach fruit.
