Abstract

Several thrips species are of major economic importance as pests and transmitters of tospoviruses in Bulgaria. For the period 1996–2006, data on interceptions of thrips species during border inspections were investigated. For this period, Frankliniella occidentalis and Thrips tabaci appeared to have been most frequently collected. Data from monitoring programs that have been conducted in Bulgaria for the period 2000–2006 were analyzed. The results showed that F. occidentalis was the most frequently established thrips species in greenhouses, followed by T. tabaci . The threat of introduction of Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) to Bulgaria should not be underestimated due to the presence of T. tabaci outdoors and in greenhouses.
