This book is dedicated to Dr. Slawomir A. Lux (inSilico-IPM, Poland) in recognition of his contribution to fruit fly research and development, both in Africa and beyond. His research activities and scientific discoveries have been instrumental to the development of management strategies for a number of different African fruit fly species. He pioneered the regional approach to fruit fly research and
management when he started the African Fruit Fly Initiative in 1999. This initiative laid the foundation for several of the current fruit fly management activities on the African continent. We have significantly benefitted from the scientific rigour of Dr. Lux which has helped us to develop and continue to promote the science of tephritid fruit flies globally.
