Pest categorisation of non‐EU Tephritidae
EFSA Journal, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2020., 2020 Abstract The Panel on Plant Health performed a group pest categorisation of non‐EU Tephritidae, a large insect family containing well‐studied and economically important fruit fly species and little studied species with scarce information regarding their hosts and species that do not feed on plants.
