flag New fruit flies found in Auckland; restrictions on produce movement remain.

flag Biosecurity New Zealand has expanded its fruit fly control zone in Papatoetoe after finding three more male Oriental fruit flies, bringing the total to four. flag No breeding population has been found, and the flies pose no human health risk, but they could severely harm horticulture if established. flag Restrictions on moving fruit and vegetables remain in place across three Zone A areas and an expanded Zone B, with signs, disposal bins, and enhanced trapping in effect. flag Authorities emphasize their track record of eradicating outbreaks, citing 15 past successes, and urge the public to report suspected flies.
