Introduction Insect-pests, mites, and diseases attack citrus fruits in the orchard, leading to deterioration of fruit quality. In international trade and also within the countries phytosanitary issues are viewed very seriously to prevent spread of insect-pests and diseases.

With the World Trade Organization in place and most citrus-growing countries signatory to it, sanitary and phytosanitary issues are raised time and again as trade barriers. Fruit flies of the family Tephritidae are considered the most important insect-pest risk carried by exported fruits worldwide, and fruits suspected of harboring fruit fly eggs and larvae must be treated to control virtually 100% of any tephritids present.
