The «outbreak area» theory in relation to the red locust
FAO Plant Protection Bulletin 21, 8-13
Abstract: The theory that certain ecologically well-defined breeding areas in central Africa were the source of the last red locust plague is generally accepted. Based on historical evidence, as well as on the fact that upsurges in red locust populations have occurred in recent years in a number of as yet unrecognized outbreak areas, attention is drawn to the status of retention areas and suspect areas as distinct from the recognized outbreak areas.
