Locust: Situation update 20 December 2005
FAO Desert Locust Information Service, FAO
Ground control operations against small hopper bands and swarms along the Indo-Pakistan border have declined as adults leave the area. So far, only a few solitarious adults have reached coastal areas in Baluchistan, western Pakistan. Small-scale breeding is in progress in the winter breeding areas along the Red Sea coast in Sudan where low numbers of hoppers and adults are present in the Tokar Delta. Breeding continues in western Mauritania and, to a lesser extent, in southern Algeria. Ground control operations are underway in both countries.
