Abstract:		"Immigration by wild type flies into an established compound chromosome control zone was studied in the laboratory using discrete generation population cages. Immigration rates of less than 10 % per generation by virgin migrants were unlikely to disrupt the zone. However, the zone could be disrupted by immigration rates of 0.5 % if the migrants had mated. The curvilinear relationship between the number of generations to fixation of the migrant genotype and the immigration rate suggested a possible equilibrium between immigration rate and the maintenance of a control zone. -The importance of the results to the strategy of a particular control program is emphasized, as is the need for an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to insect pest management"
