Federal and state agriculture authorities on Sept. 16 established an Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) quarantine in the Fountain Valley area of Orange County, California. The action was taken by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).

This action is in response to the confirmed detections of six adult male and two unmated adult female oriental fruit flies from various sites in the Fountain Valley area by CDFA between Aug. 15 and Sept.12. All of the detections were from traps in various types of fruit trees in residential areas.
