США сняли карантин с фруктовых мух в Калифорнии и Техасе после успешной эрадикации

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), in cooperation with state agriculture authorities, has removed several fruit fly quarantines in California and Texas following the eradication of transient pest populations. © USDA In California, APHIS and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) have removed the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata; Medfly) quarantine in Alameda and Santa Clara Counties, designated the Santa Clara quarantine. The action releases 241 square miles from quarantine, including 58.76 acres (23.78 hectares) of commercial agriculture. APHIS had originally restricted the interstate movement of regulated articles from the area to prevent the spread of Medfly to non-infested areas of the United States. APHIS and CDFA have now eradicated the transient Medfly population using approved program control methods. In Texas, APHIS and the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) have removed the sapote fruit fly (Anastrepha serpentina) quarantines in Cameron and Hidalgo Counties. This includes the Harlingen and Rio Hondo quarantined areas in Cameron County, and the Alamo quarantined area in Hidalgo County. The action releases 212.64 square miles from quarantine, including 1,138.61 acres (460.83 hectares) of commercial citrus. APHIS had restricted the interstate movement of regulated articles from these areas to prevent the spread of sapote fruit fly to non-infested areas. APHIS and TDA have now eradicated the transient sapote fruit fly populations using approved program control methods. © USDA Earlier, on June 9, 2026, APHIS and TDA removed the West Indian fruit fly (Anastrepha obliqua) quarantine in Hidalgo County, designated the Palmview quarantine. This released 68.2 square miles from quarantine, including 495.7 acres (200.60 hectares) of commercial citrus. APHIS had originally restricted the interstate movement of regulated articles from the area to prevent the spread of West Indian fruit fly to non-infested areas. APHIS and TDA have now eradicated the transient West Indian fruit fly population using approved program control methods. Maps and descriptions of current federal fruit fly quarantine areas are available on the APHIS Exotic Fruit Flies webpage. APHIS will also publish notices about the changes in the Federal Register.
