History
A group of scientists involved in tephritid fruit fly research and management launched the Tephritid Workers Database on May 2004, with the support of the Insect Pest Control Section of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization/International Atomic Energy Agency programme. The Tephritid Workers Database is self-maintained by the participants and its development depends on the active contribution of the members.
The TWD database has now more than 1000 members from more than 100 countries and is sponsoring or hosting websites of other regional fruit fly working groups Empty citation‎ (help) :
