Tephritid Workers Database

A group of scientists involved in tephritid fruit fly research and management launched the [https://nucleus.iaea.org/sites/naipc/twd/Pages/default.aspx Tephritid Workers Database] in May 2004,

In the past, an information service for the tephritid fruit fly workers called FRUIT FLY NEWS (FFN) was issued annually under the auspices of the International Biological Program and then under the [http://www.unipa.it/iobc International Organisation of Biological Control (IOBC)]. This newsletter publication was interrupted in 1992 and then resumed in an electronic format since 2009. The first issues tell all the story about the creation of FFN and the Working Group on Fruit Flies (WGFF).
