We describe the isolation and characterization of 11 polymorphic microsatellite loci from
the recently discovered fruit fly pest, Bactrocera invadens. The polymorphism of these loci
was tested in individual flies from two natural populations (Sri Lanka and Democratic
Republic of Congo). Allele number per locus ranged from three to 15 and eight loci
displayed a polymorphic information content greater than 0.5. These microsatellite loci
provide useful markers for studies of population dynamics and invasion history of this pest
species.
