    Achaea catocaloides (Guenée, 1852) (Erebidae) est un insecte forestier polyphage migrateur qui attaque également des cultures telles que le cacao, le café, les agrumes, la banane plantain, la mangue, le maïs, l’arachide, etc. Des invasions ont été signalées pour la première fois en Afrique, à Entebbe, en Ouganda, et en République Démocratique du Congo en 1930 (Pit man, 1930; Vinall, 1930). Depuis lors, des irruptions périodiques se sont produites en Afrique tropicale, notamment en Sierra Leone, au Ghana, au Nigéria, en Guinée, au Gabon, au Cameroun, au Libéria, en Ouganda, au Kenya et en Côte d’Ivoire. La pyrale s’est répandue en Afrique occidentale, centrale et orien tale. En plus de causer des dommages aux cultures, ses chenilles et excréments peuvent contaminer les sources d’eau

    GIEWS Special Alert No. 333 - Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone (Ebola outbreak)
    Grave food security concerns following the Ebola outbreak in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea
    2014
    Also available in:

    The 2014 main crop harvesting season is about to start and faces difficulties mainly due to labour shortages as a result of movement restrictions following the Ebola outbreak. Disruptions in cross-border trade and marketing activities have resulted in sharp price rises, affecting the food security situation of large numbers of people. An Emergency Operation (EMOP) amounting to 65 000 tonnes was jointly approved by WFP and FAO on 25 August 2014 to provide food assistance to approximately 1.3 million most affected people over a period of three months. FAO, together with respective government authorities and other stakeholders, is supporting the overall response plan and identifying appropriate mechanisms to assist agricultural production, specifically in harvesting and related post-harvest activities.
