Abstract
The borer, Conogethes punctiferalis, has spread geographically through international trade. The insect has been intercepted in consignments of fruits in England, Wales, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Conogethes is a pest of quarantine importance and therefore should be regularly monitored for which phytosanitary measures are to be followed during harvest, processing, packing and transportation.
