General Guidelines to Facilitate the Opening of International Markets for Fruits and Vegetables that are Fruit Fly Hosts based on International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures
The purpose of the guide is to elaborate on the use of international standards to facilitate international trade of fresh fruit and vegetables known to be fruit fly hosts considering the regulatory framework that is defined by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the SPS Agreement) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) with its associated International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs).

Sterile Insect Technique: Principles and Practice in Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management
This second edition includes all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication with examples of each option are described in detail.

Dose mapping by scanning Gafchromic® film to measure the absorbed dose of insects during their sterilization
The development of better system for dose distribution within an irradiation container and the development of an accurate dose-response curve for the target insect using precise dosimetry is a prerequisite of any programmes releasing sterile insects. This manual describes the operational procedures to develop dose maps by scanning Gafchromic film and the calibration of the system, to be used in the insect irradiation process for SIT programmes. The manual is also available in Spanish/Español.

Harmonized identification guideline of tefritids that might be considered of economic and quarantine importance in Latin America and the Caribbean
The correct identification of endemic fruit fly pests is fundamental for the design of effective integrated pest management programmes including those that apply the sterile insect technique (SIT). Also, for the enforcement of emergency action plans when
incursions of fruit fly quarantine species occur in an area. This manual is aimed at offering National Plant protection Organizations (NPPOs) with a harmonized guide that can support them in the continues
battle against fruit fly pests affecting food security and safety in the countries (manual only available in Spanish).
