New additions to the EPPO A1 and A2 Lists
In September 2022, the EPPO Council approved the following changes made to the EPPO A1 and A2 Lists of pests recommended for regulation as quarantine pests.
Additions to the A1 List (pests absent from the EPPO region)
- Chionaspis pinifoliae (Hemiptera: Diaspididae)
- Dendroctonus valens (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)
- Grapevine red blotch virus (Grablovirus)
Additions to the A2 List (pests locally present in the EPPO region)
- Solanum carolinense (Solanaceae)
- Tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (Begomovirus)
For each individual pest, PRA documents and datasheets have been prepared (or are under development) and will be available in due course in the EPPO Global Database (https://gd.eppo.int) and the EPPO Platform on PRAs (https://pra.eppo.int/).
