Identification resources for ECFF, Rhagoletis cerasi

Recently, the European cherry fruit fly (ECFF), Rhagoletis cerasi, was introduced into North America. Although it has been trapped in and its range is currently restricted to Niagara Country, New York, evidence suggests the fly could establish populations in many parts of the United States. As a result, the fly is a quarantine pest of cherries in this region. To better control routes of invasion, there is a need to determine the source population(s) in Europe and/or western Asia of the ECFF introduction in the United States and elucidate if the fly has invaded once or multiple times independently. This suggestion aims to use population genomics sequencing to genetically compare recently established ECFF in the United States to native populations from various locations across Europe and western Asia to determine the geographic source of the ECFF introduction. This will support the identification of high risk pathways to aid in pest exclusion and potentially elucidate the route of introduction for this pest species and help curb its movement in the future. Here, we submit the raw paired-end Novaseq S1 Illumina reads generated from 192 flies.

近期，欧洲樱桃果蝇（ECFF），学名为 Rhagoletis cerasi，已侵入北美地区。尽管目前该果蝇已被捕获，其分布范围仅限于纽约州尼亚加拉县，但证据表明，该果蝇可能在美利坚合众国的许多地区建立种群。因此，该果蝇已成为该地区樱桃的检疫害虫。为了更好地控制入侵途径，有必要确定导致美国ECFF侵入的欧洲及/或西亚的原始种群，并阐明该果蝇是独立侵入一次还是多次。本建议旨在运用种群基因组测序技术，对近期在美国建立起来的ECFF进行基因比较，将其与欧洲及西亚各地原生种群进行对比，以确定ECFF侵入的地理来源。这将有助于识别高风险路径，从而辅助害虫排除，并可能阐明此害虫物种的引入途径，有助于在未来遏制其传播。在此，我们提交了从192只果蝇中生成的原始配对末端Novaseq S1 Illumina读数。
