Abstract

The present research work investigates the impact of the Thaumetopoea pityocampa(pine processionary) at a national scale (Catalonia) and at a local scale (Terrassa). The main objectives are to analyze the current impact of the processionary caterpillar and its evolution in the coming years. The used methodology consists in bibliographic research, data processing and conducting interviews with eminent scientists. Based on the analysis of the results, it is concluded that the current treatments used in the study areas are effective in controlling the plague. In addition, an altitudinal shift of the plague is predicted to occur, taking into account the IPCC’s RCP 8.5 climate prediction model. Finally, scientific dissemination of this subject is carried out to inform the public of the importance of controlling the plague.
