Summary: Our objectives are to discover diagnostic morphological and molecular differences between apple and snowberry flies and to measure genetic differences among Washington populations of the apple maggot fly to detect possible hawthorn and apple host races and to support quarantine and remediation programs in Washington. 1. Re-evaluate morphometric variation between apple and snowberry maggot 2. Seek diagnostic differences between apple and snowberry maggots using ISSR and RAPDS 3. Determine if host races of apple maggot exist in Washington using microsatellite variation
