Field Infestation: Allwood et al. 1999: From fruit collections in Peninsular Malaysia (1986 to 1988) and in East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) and Thailand (1990 to 1994) B. latifrons was recovered from 8 samples. No infestation rate data given.

Clarke et al. 2001: From 1986 to 1994, a total of 0.50 kg of infested fruits was collected in one region of Thailand (Chiang Mai). Collected fruits had an infestation rate of 384.9 B. latifrons per kg of infested fruits. Flies identified by either R.A.I. Drew or D.L. Hancock.

Liquido et al. 1994: From July 1990 to October 1992, a total of 10,476 total fruits (2.64 kg) was collected on Hawaii Island. Bactrocera latifrons was recovered from 14 of 69 collections (20.3%) with an overall infestation rate of 373.2 B. latifrons per kg of fruit.

Mwatawala et al. 2009: Mostly after October 2006, a total of 5,920 fruits (2.90 kg) was collected in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Bactrocera latifrons was recovered from 9 out of 34 collections (26%) with an overall average infestation rate of 43.99 emerged adults per kg fruit.

Mziray et al. 2010b: From March 2007 to March 2008, a total of 4,785 fruits (2.02 kg) was collected from the Morogoro region of Tanzania. Bactrocera latifrons was recovered in 21 of 44 collections (47.73%) with an overall infestation rate of 98.21 B. latifrons per kg of fruit (136.7 flies per kg infested fruits).

Ramadan and Messing 2003: From January to February 1996, one collection of 70 fruits was made in Rattaphum, Thailand, from which 4 B. latifrons adults were recovered.

Vargas and Nishida 1985a: From April to August 1984, a total of 935 fruits was collected from 2 locations on Oahu, Hawaii, from which 92 B. latifrons puparia were recovered, with an overall infestation rate of 641 B. latifrons per kg fruit.
