SMALL OUTBREAK IN MAURITANIA
A small outbreak developed in early November where hoppers, groups, and bands were seen in an area of about 100 km by 70 km in northwestern
Mauritania
. Ground teams treated 2 298 ha. In
Sudan
, low numbers of adults were first seen in the winter breeding areas this year along the Red Sea coast where a few copulating had started. Isolated adults were else seen in coastal areas of
Eritrea
, southeast
Egypt
, and northwest
Somalia
. In
Yemen
, low numbers of adults have been on the coast since September. During the forecast, December and January may have slightly above-normal rainfall in the northern parts of the Red Sea coast in northern
Saudi Arabia
,
Egypt
, and
Sudan
while southern areas from
Eritrea
, southern
Saudi Arabia
,
Yemen
, and northern
Somalia
will be drier than normal. As a result, a single generation of small-scale breeding is likely during the winter. In northwest
Mauritania
, groups of adults are likely to form in December but should decrease due to control, vegetation that dries out, and rain which is not likely to occur. No significant development is likely to happen.
Surveys and vigilance should be maintained in the winter breeding areas.
