Hundreds of scientists work throughout many countries studying economically damaging fruit flies to improve our understanding of these pests and how to manage them. This book contains 19 contributions from many scientists, which is intended to improve the ability of all nations to manage tephritids and to provide good-quality food for their people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book starts with a reflection on the career and contribution of Prof. Antigone Zacharopoulou.
