Desert Locust Bulletin No. 413 (4 Mar 2013)

The Desert Locust situation remained worrisome during February in the winter breeding areas along both sides of the Red Sea where locust infestations continued to increase. Adults formed groups and swarms in Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Saudi Arabia. Some of these moved into crops along the Nile River in northern Sudan, laid eggs and caused damage, while a limited number of groups and swarms moved north along the Egyptian coast where they could eventually threaten the Nile Delta. Substantial control operations were carried out by the three countries.

Bulletin sur le Criquet pèlerin - No: 402 (Mars 2012)

Situation Générale en mars 2012

Prévision jusqu'à mi-mai 2012

Une résurgence du Criquet pèlerin s’est poursuivie en mars dans le sud-ouest de la Libye et dans les zones adjacents du sud-est de l’Algérie. Bien que les équipes de lutte nationales des deux pays aient traité 5 000 ha de groupes d’adultes en cours de grégarisation et en ponte, les effectifs acridiens vont certainement augmenter avec les éclosions et la formation de bandes larvaires en avril, particulièrement dans les zones inaccessibles.
