“…The global Köppen‐Geiger climate zones (Kottek et al., 2006 ) describe terrestrial climate in terms of average minimum winter temperatures and summer maxima, amount of precipitation and seasonality (rainfall pattern). Climatic zones BSh (dry, hot semi‐arid steppe; sub‐tropical steppe; low‐altitude dry), Cfa (temperate, uniform precipitation through year; Humid sub‐tropical, Mild, no dry season, hot summer) and Csa (temperate, dry hot summer) occur in countries (Figure 3 ) where R. syriacus is known to be present (Doğanlar and Yiğit, 2002 ; Elimem et al., 2011 ; Zanuncio‐Junior et al., 2016 ). These climates also occur in the EU, especially in southern Europe.…”

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the black vine thrips, Retithrips syriacus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), for the EU territory. This species is not included in EU Commission Implementing Regulation 2019/2072. This polyphagous species feeds, among others, on apple, avocado, banana, cotton, grapevine, persimmon, pear, walnut and other plants cultivated in the EU. R. syriacus occurs in several African and Asian countries and in Florida (USA), the Caribbean and Brazil, in a range of climates some of which also occur in the EU. It can complete up to seven generations per year. It overwinters at the adult stage in the soil. Adult females lay up to 60 eggs in 5-10 days in the leaf tissue or less frequently on the leaf surface. Larvae and adults feed usually on the lower side of leaves. Larvae then drop down, enter the soil, and pupate. Potential entry pathways for R. syriacus, such as plants for planting, cut flowers and fruits, exist. Soil can be considered as a closed pathway. The pest is not known to be present in the EU territory and there are no reports of interceptions. Should R. syriacus arrive in the EU, the availability of hosts and occurrence of potentially suitable climates would be conducive for establishment. Should this species establish in the EU, yield and quality losses in several fruit trees production is anticipated. R. syriacus satisfies the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.

“…Among the thrips sampled, we collected in all the areas 28 females and seven males of Caliothrips phaseoli (Hood, 1912) (Thysanoptera; Thripidae) (Figure 1d), four females of Thrips tabaci (Linderman, 1888) (Thysanoptera; Thripidae) (Figure 1e), and three females of Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom, 1910) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae). These species have been reported in carrots and are found to cause economic damage to bean, tomato, and potato crops (Monteiro et al, 2001;Dequech et al, 2011;Zanuncio-Junior et al, 2016). However, this study is the first to report T. tabaci, F. schultzei, and C. phaseoli in this culture for the Alto Paranaíba region.…”

“…Retithrips syriacus prefers to oviposit in mature leaves and a severe infestation causes the leaves to dry out and fall off. This thrips species is not known to transmit any plant virus and its damage results from the ovipositing and feeding activities of the individuals, which impact the epidermal cells of the plant tissue and creates grey‐silver scars on the leaves and fruits (Ben‐Yakir, 2012 ; Rivnay, 1939 ; Zanuncio‐Junior et al., 2016 ). Within its native range in Israel, it is reported to infest various crops of economic importance, causing puncture marks on the leaves which turn grey by the reduction of chlorophyll.…”

Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a quantitative risk assessment for the EU of Retithrips syriacus (Mayet) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a polyphagous thrips, regarded as a tropical/ subtropical pest occurring in several countries of Africa, South America, Asia and in the EU in Cyprus. The current risk assessment focused on potential pathways for entry, the climatic conditions allowing establishment, the expected spread capacity and the impact considering a time horizon of 10 years (2023)(2024)(2025)(2026)(2027)(2028)(2029)(2030)(2031)(2032). The Panel identified the import of cut roses, persimmons, table grapes, as well as plants for planting of the genera Acalypha and Terminalia from third countries and those of Persea americana (avocado) from Israel as the most relevant entry pathways to consider. Over the next 10 years, an annual median estimate of 95 (90% Certainty Range, CR, ranging from 13 to 1832) potential R. syriacus founder populations per year are expected to successfully transfer to a suitable host in the EU NUTS2 regions where the climatic conditions are predicted as suitable for establishment; this value drops to a median of 4.6 founder populations per year (90% CR: 1 every 1.9 years -85.6 per year) after considering the actual probability of establishment of a potential founder population. The estimated number of founder population per year is mostly driven by the import of cut roses and plants for planting. If such founder populations were to establish, R. syriacus is estimated to spread at a median rate of 0.05 km/year (90% CR 0.02-2.30 km/year) after a median lag phase of 1.1 years (90% CR 0.3-3.3 years). The overall impact on yield (expressed as % of the total agricultural production) directly attributable to R. syriacus when considering: (i) the main R. syriacus hosts in the EU, (ii) the areas of the EU where establishment is possible, (iii) the current agricultural practices and (iv) the evidence of impact from the countries where the pest is established for a long time, was estimated at 0.065% as the median value of the uncertainty distribution (90% CR 0.001%-0.571%). Options for risk reduction are discussed, but the effectiveness was not quantified.
