Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA periodically updates database on host plants of
In agreement with Article 6(2) of the Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 on protective measures against pests plants, European Commission has been tasked by Council and Parliament to establish a list Union quarantine which qualify as priority pests. The prioritisation is based severity economic, social environmental impact that these can cause in territory. Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) charge developing methodology multi-criteria decision analysis composite indicators. this context, EFSA...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed pest categorisation of
Although shell colour polymorphism of the land snail Cepaea nemoralis is a well-known phenomenon, proximate and ultimate factors driving its evolution remain uncertain. Polymorphic species show variation in behavioural responses to selective forces. Therefore, we estimated effects various environmental (temperature, humidity, food availability, (micro)habitat structure predatory pressure) on response (frequency locomotion, climbing hiding) C. morphs, experimental natural conditions. In part...
The fungal pathogen Fusarium circinatum is the causal agent of Pine Pitch Canker (PPC), a disease which seriously affects different species pine in forests and nurseries worldwide. In Europe, fungus pines northern Spain Portugal, it has also been detected France Italy. Here, we report findings first trial investigating susceptibility Polish provenances Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris L., to infection by F. circinatum. greenhouse experiment, 16 were artificially inoculated with six other known...
The Panel on Plant Health performed a listing of non-EU viruses and viroids (reported hereinafter as viruses)
The slugs Arion lusitanicus and rufus inhabit ecologically degraded areas are serious vegetation pests. In recent years, new localities of these species have been found in various parts Poland. Here we study the morphology 90 specimens from 9 populations slugs. genital system allowed for identification 60 A. 6 30 individuals another 3 localities. order to describe their genetic diversity at level individual, population, species, compared sequences mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I...
Initial Evaluation of the Effectiveness Selected Active Substances in Reducing Damage To Rape Plants Caused By Arion Lusitanicus (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Arionidae) Spray forms various chemical compounds including plant origin, molluscicides, and insecticides were tested order to investigate their possibilities for reducing damage young rape plants caused by slug lusitanicus Mabille, 1868. Among them, abamectin (0.2%), methiocarb (0.5%) metaldehyde (1.0%) reduced plants, although remained...
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Xiphinema americanum sensu lato (Nematoda: Longidoridae) for the EU. Sixty-one species in this group are recognised. They polyphagous pests found soil associated with number plant species. As migratory ectoparasitic species, it punctures cells roots. Nematodes were classified four categories based their distribution and ability to transmit viruses. Category I contains seven virus vector present outside EU: X. stricto, bricolense,...
Following a request from the EU Commission, Panel on Plant Health addressed pest categorisation of viruses and viroids Vitis L. determined as being either non-EU or undetermined standing in previous EFSA opinion. These infectious agents belong to different genera are heterogeneous their biology. With exclusion grapevine virus 101-14.N.23.9.1/South Africa/2009 for which very limited information exists, was completed 30 having acknowledged identities available detection methods. All these...
The following paper presents the results on determination of diversity species from Phytophthora genus occurring in declining oak stands Krotoszyn Plateau Poland. From 50s last century, significant deterioration health was observed these stands, and were suggested as one factors decline. In order to determine presence pathogenic organisms 180 rhizosphere soil samples three forest districts throughout collected subjected isolation method. consistently isolated all sampled 194 isolates 111...
Following a request from the EU Commission, Panel on Plant Health performed pest categorisation of 17 viruses and viroids, herein called viruses, Cydonia Mill., Malus Mill. Pyrus L. determined as being either non-EU or undetermined standing in previous EFSA opinion. These belong to different genera are heterogeneous their biology. They can be detected by available methods efficiently transmitted vegetative propagation techniques, with plants for planting representing major long-distance...
In this study, 1159 seeds of 29 Central European species the genus Veronica were analyzed based on scanning electron microscopy images. The belonged to nine subgenera: Beccabunga, Chamaedrys, Cochlidiosperma, Pellidosperma, Pentasepalae, Pocilla, Pseudolysimachium, Stenocarpon and Veronica, following newest phylogenetic classification genus. Nine measured characteristics ratios statistically using ANOVA followed by post hoc testing, cluster analysis discriminant analysis. most cases, results...

The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Nacobbus aberrans (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae), the false root-knot nematode, for EU.The nematode was originally described from American continent.Due to differences in host range as well molecular variability among populations, N. should be regarded species complex (N.aberrans sensu lato).All populations belonging this are pests important plants EU.N. had been detected indoors EU 1950s and 1960s but is no longer reported present...

The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of nematodes belonging to the genus Hirschmanniella (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae). Twenty-nine species in this have been considered which five are present EU (Hirschmanniella behningi, gracilis, halophila, loofi and zostericola). whole except H. gracilis is regulated by Council Directive 2000/29/EC (Annex IAI). root endoparasites uniquely adapted aquatic environments. Most reported from tropical regions. Monocotyledons including plants...

The European Commission requested a pest categorisation of the non-EU viruses and viroids potato (hereafter referred to as viruses). As first step, systematic literature database search was carried out identify reported naturally infect Solanum tuberosum other tuber-forming spp potato). Based on global distribution prevalence inside Union (EU), Panel identified 40 known occur only outside EU or with limited presence in (reported one few Member States (MSs) and/or restricted distribution,...
This report presents a classification of methods for detecting and identifying plant pests useful in the preparation reporting surveillance activities. aims to help EU Member States plan pest detection activities, standardize naming these methods, provide basis developing system evaluating their performance. First, an inventory was developed, extracting data from EFSA Pest Survey Cards, categorising them, Catalogue term codes assigned each method. The resulting simplified generalised include...
