First Record of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in Senegal (2013, background): “Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) was accidentally introduced to Spain in 2006, from where it spread north to the Netherlands and east to Iran (Desneux et al. 2010, 2011; Baniameri & Cheraghian 2012).”
Occurrence, biology, natural enemies and management of Tuta absoluta in Africa (2018, background): “Although chemical broad-spectrum insecticide treatments have been commonly applied to cope with T. absoluta attacks in tomatoes worldwide (Desneux et al. 2011, Campos et al. 2017, Biondi et al. 2018), this control tactic usually proved to be neither effective nor sustainable, leading to dramatic…”
Spatial and temporal variation in the control failure likelihood of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (2013, background): “The species was recently introduced to Europe and subsequently to Africa and the Middle East, again sparking growing concern in the countries of introduction and among the main plant protection agencies, including the Plant Production and Protection Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization ”
Ecology, Worldwide Spread, and Management of the Invasive South American Tomato Pinworm, Tuta absoluta: Past, Present, and Future. (2018, background): “The pest affects tomatoes produced for both fresh and processed markets, with larvae causing up to 100% losses when no management methods are efficiently implemented (53).”
A four-year survey on insecticide resistance and likelihood of chemical control failure for tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta in the European/Asian region (2017, background): “…invaded Europe most probably with a single introduction event from Central Chile (Urbaneja et al. 2007; Guillemaud et al. 2015) and rapidly became a global pest threatening tomato production in both greenhouse and field crops (Desneux et al. 2010, 2011; Tonnang et al. 2015; Campos et al. 2017).”
Sharing a predator: can an invasive alien pest affect the predation on a local pest? (2013, background): “The recent invasion of Afro-Eurasia by the South American tomato pinworm Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Desneux et al. 2010, 2011) offers an opportunity for assessing the impact of an invasive alien pest on species interactions in a greenhouse crop.”
Secondary plants used in biological control: A review (2012, background): “…in these systems for optimized integrated pest management, especially in the light of threats such as the repeated arrival of new invasive pests (Desneux et al. 2010, 2011; Ragsdale et al. 2011) and the need to reduce side-effects of agricultural pesticides on beneficial arthropods (Desneux et…”
Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): A New Threat to Tomato Production in Sub-Saharan Africa (2014, background): “Colonization of the Mediterranean basin has been extremely fast, with a geographical range extension of c. 4000 km in about five years (Desneux et al. 2011).”
Recruitment of native parasitoids by the exotic pest Tuta absoluta in Southern Italy (2012, background): “More recently, the pest was reported in most European and North African countries and in several Middle East countries as well (Desneux et al., 2011).”
Natural enemies of the South American moth, Tuta absoluta, in Europe, North Africa and Middle East, and their potential use in pest control strategies (2013, background): “Afterwards, it rap- idly spread throughout the Mediterranean basin, in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (Desneux et al. 2011).”
