Abstract
Thrips palmi Karny, the melon thrips is an economically important pest of various crops, especially vegetables, has rapidly spread worldwide, but remains absent from Europe. Moreover, T. palmi tends to be the predominant thrips vector species in tropical and sub-tropical Asia and transmits several different tospoviruses. Vector status of T. palmi is reviewed and discussed, primarily in the context of new strains ofknowntospoviruses and completely new tospovirus species continue to be described from various parts of the world and have the potential to cause damaging epidemics. Successful natural enemies of T. palmi reported from various countries are also reviewed with an emphasis for the utilization of biological control of the pest.
