Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), was discovered on Tahiti Island in July 1996. 2009; Mwatawala etal. In that description, its native range was indicated as Sri Lanka. From 1998 to 2006, B. dorsalis was recovered from 29 different host fruit from the five Society Islands: Tahiti, Moorea, Raiatea, Tahaa, and Huahine. It is a common term used in the field of chemical ecology to encompass pheromones, allomones, kairomones, attractants and repellents. Bactrocera kirki (Froggatt) in 1928, Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) in 1970, B. dorsalis in 1996, and Bactrocera xanthodes in 1998 (Leblanc and Putoa 2000).

The sterile insect technique may be implemented to control populations of the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae), when environmental concerns preclude widespread use of chemical attractants or toxicants. Eradication programs were conducted from 1997 to 2001, but failed. The native distribution of Bactrocera carambolae overlaps extensively with that of B. dorsalis, in much of the southern part of its range, and it was introduced into Suriname about 1975 where it has become established. Bactrocera dorsalis infested fruit had a significantly lower concentration than the control; this was more evident for 10 days after inoculation fruit .
