Senegal, 2015. Laboratory

26 May 2015, Dakar, Senegal - A laboratory technician shows larvae from cultures of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), a destructive pest of fruit, inside the entomology laboratory where infesting parasites are collected, catalogued and studied to discover new means of prevention for the preservation of market gardens, fruit plants and other vital agricultural species. The laboratory, located at the Senegalese Ministry of Rural Development, Office for the Vegetable Protection in Dakar, develops parasitoid used to develop a biologic, non-invasive way to prevent the devastation of the local cultures by the two main parasites, the oriental fruit fly and the Ceratitis capitata, the Mediterranean fruit fly.
