Abstract: Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera, Tephritidae) is a very polyphagous quarantined species that causes enormous damage to fruit plants. The objective of this study is to investigate the demographic evolution and the phylogenetic relationship of three populations of Bactrocera dorsalis from three host plants. Methodology and Results: Populations of Bactrocera dorsalis were defined based on host fruits: BdA (Citrus), BdM (Mango) and BdP (Cashew apple) in the Niayes area in Senegal. Each population consists of 15 individuals. The DNA of each individual was extracted and the COI was amplified by the Standard Zymo method (Kit Zymo research) and then sequenced. The results showed that populations from mango and citrus fruits are expanding demographically from a stable ancestral population. However, cashew apple is in moderate demographic expansion; it has undergone a sweep. Gene flow between different populations and isolation of some individuals forming private haplotypes through phylogenetic trees has also been demonstrated.
