“…A list of pests that could be introduced with citrus fruit trade and may present a risk to cultivated species or varieties of citrus in the EU was established by the DROPSA consortium in 2016. Not all of these pests have been specifically mentioned in this Standard, but they could be looked for during import inspections (Suffert et al ., 2018).…”

Phytosanitary procedures PM 3/90 (1) Inspection of citrus fruits consignments Specific scope This Standard describes the procedure by which consignments of citrus fruits are subjected to import control, including sampling and identification. This Standard covers fruits of Citrus L. and other genera of the plant family Rutaceae such as Fortunella Swingle, Poncirus Raf., Microcitrus Swingle, Naringi Adans, Swinglea Merr. and their hybrids. This Standard only covers the inspection of citrus fruit consignments without leaves and peduncles. Import of leaves or peduncles, including when in association with fruits, is prohibited in many EPPO countries, as they present a higher risk from a wider range of pests than fruits. The Standard also provides guidance that may be relevant to exports. Specific approval First approved in 2020-09.

“…Global trading of plants and plant produce expedite the international pest movement. The introduced pests in an area lead to major economic consequences for regional plant production, and it should be avoided at any cost (Suffert et al, 2018). Risks related to pest introduction are widespread, and control may be particularly warning when novel cultivations are introduced or expanded.…”

“…This growth is linked with many factors such as public awareness of health benefits of grapes as an antioxidant, increase in international trade, changing policies, and improved global incomes (Danne et al, 2018). Grapevine is a high-value perennial crop (Suffert et al, 2018) that caters for diverse markets such as processed grapes, which are dried into raisins or pressed into wine or grape juice, and table grapes for fresh consumption (Danne et al, 2018). Grapevine is largely cultivated in several parts of the world, and in the last two decades, its cultivation has largely been extended to South and East Asian countries in vine-allocated areas mainly located in China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia (Anderson and Wittwer, 2015) ( Figure 1A ).…”

The Distribution of Phytoplasmas in South and East Asia: An Emerging Threat to Grapevine Cultivation

Grapevine is largely cultivated in several parts of the world, and a spurt in its cultivation has occurred in the last two decades in grapevine cultivated areas of South and East Asia, mainly in China, India, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia. Grapevine yellows (GY) represent one of the most important diseases in viticultural areas of the world, and they have been assigned to five different groups: aster yellows [AY (16SrI)], peanut witches’ broom [PnWB (16SrII)], X-disease (16SrIII), elm yellows [EY (16SrV)], and Stolbur (16SrXII). This study provides a comprehensive overview of the presence of phytoplasma strains and their vectors associated with GY complex, and their potential impact on viticulture of the South and East Asia. In general, both AY and EY were reported on several herbaceous plants and/or cultivated plants in South and East Asia, along with its vectors that were largely reported in China and sporadically in Japan. Interestingly, AY and EY are yet not found in South and East Asia grapevine regions; however, their presence on different plant species suggests the potential spread of the pathogens that may occur in grapevine regions in the near future. Additionally, a few reports also suggest the presence of Stolbur group in Asian countries, along with one study that found a Stolbur-related strain in China on Vitis vinifera. Similarly, PnWB was also frequently reported in India and China on several plant species, but not in grapes. Conversely, sporadic detections of phytoplasma strains related to X-disease in Thailand, South Korea, and China indicate that their potential influence in viticulture is rather negligible. Our review suggests that monitoring and control strategies against GY are essential in order to prevent epidemic phytoplasma spread, especially in vine-allocated areas in Asia.

“…In a recent work targeting the identification of new pests likely to be introduced into Europe with fruit trade, none of the Aleurocanthus species were classified as potentially likely to enter with imports of oranges and mandarins into the EU (Suffert et al, 2018).…”

The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Aleurocanthus spp., a well‐defined insect genus of the whitefly family Aleyrodidae (Arthropoda: Hemiptera). Difficulties within the taxonomy of the genus give doubt about the ability to accurately identify some members to species level. Nevertheless, the genus is thought to currently include about ninety species mainly reported from tropical and subtropical areas. The genus is listed in Council Directive 2000/29/EC and is regulated on Citrus, Fortunella and Poncirus. Several Aleurocanthus species are highly polyphagous; Aleurocanthus spiniferus has hosts in 38 plant families; Aleurocanthus woglumi has more than 300 hosts including Pyrus, Rosa and Vitis vinifera as well as Citrus. A. spiniferus is present in the EU in restricted areas of Italy and Greece, where it is under official control. No other Aleurocanthus spp. are known to occur in the EU. Host plants for planting, excluding seeds, and cut flowers or branches are the main pathways for entry. Outside of the EU, the genus can be found in regions that have climate types which also occur within the EU, suggesting establishment is possible. Aleurocanthus spp. can be significant pests of crops that are also grown in the EU. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry into the EU, e.g. sourcing host plants for planting from pest free areas. As a genus Aleurocanthus does satisfy all the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess and required by risk managers to give it consideration as a Union quarantine pest. Aleurocanthus does not meet all of the criteria to allow it consideration by risk managers as a Union regulated non‐quarantine pest (RNQP). Specifically, Aleurocanthus is not widespread in the EU.
