Development of the desert locust outbreak in Mauritania: Case of 2003-2004

Mauritania is known as a permanent habitat of the Desert locust Schistocerca gregaria. Between 1993 and 2004, two outbreaks and one upsurge occurred. The outbreak which started in 2003 did not have analogues in history. Rather than depending on allochtone swarms from the Central Region, it developed from concentrations of indigenous populations which led to an upsurge and later on to an outbreak.
