New menace to horticultural and staple food crops: Identification of an emerging thrips pest (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) infesting cassava

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Cassava ( <italic>Manihot esculenta</italic> Crantz) is a key staple crop in Central and Western Africa, yet its production in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is increasingly threatened by insect pests. Among these, an emerging “cassava thrips” has caused substantial yield losses, but its identity remained unresolved. This study aimed to determine the species identity of this...
