  abstract = {{T}he {S}outh {A}merican tomato pinworm, {T}uta absoluta ({M}eyrick 1917) ({L}epidoptera: {G}elechiidae), is an invasive pest native to {S}outh {A}merica. {O}utside of its native range, it was first detected in {S}pain in 2006 and then rapidly spread to most tomato-growing regions in {C}entral {A}merica, {E}urope, {A}frica and {A}sia where the species has become a major threat to tomato production. {T}o implement appropriate policy and surveillance practices, to limitnew introductions and spread, and inherent economic losses, better knowledge of its invasion pathways is required. {T}o this end, a large sampling of {T}. absoluta was performedin native and invaded areas including {E}uropean and for the first time many {A}frican countries. {S}amples were analysed using a mitochondrial marker (mt{COI}) and a phylogenetic approach. {D}espite extensive sampling and sequencing efforts, an overall lack of genetic variation among the tested specimens (140) was observed. {T}his striking finding may result from a combination of factors and phenomena such as extensive gene flow, severe bottlenecks, reproductive system and human activities, and will be discussed in the framework of biological invasion and pest management.},
