Use Of A Bayesian Belief Network To Identify Situations That Favour Fruit Fly Incursions In Inland SE Australia

Microsatellite based studies had suggested the origin of fruit fly incursions is most likely from endemic populations near to the FFEZ, implying that in climatically unfavourable years, there are no incursions. With respect to Qfly incursions, the main problem is humans transporting fruit, an unknown proportion of which is infested by fruit flies, into the FFEZ. What is known is the date and location of each male lure trap and similar data for fruit fly larval infestations. .
