2003/099 New data on quarantine pests and pests of the EPPO Alert List
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By browsing through the literature, the EPPO Secretariat has extracted the 
following new data concerning quarantine pests and pests included on the 
EPPO Alert List.

New geographical records:

Serbia & Montenegro
-------------------
Specimens of _Globodera rostochiensis_ [Gr] (EPPO A2 list) were found in 
potato roots at Jadognja (Krupanj) and Ponikve (Uzice), in soil samples at 
Aljinovici (Prijepolje), and in storehouse potato debris at Kusici. This is 
considered as the first record of Gr in Serbia and Montenegro (Krnjaic et 
al, 2002). Present, first reported in 2002 in the west part of the country.

India
-----
In India, _Heterodera glycines_ [Hg] (EPPO A2 list, also on the EPPO Alert 
List) was identified on soil samples collected from soybean fields in 
Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. This is the first report of Hg in India (Kaushal et 
al, 2002). Present, first reported in 2002 in Madhya Pradesh.

South Africa
------------
_Meloidogyne fallax_ [Mf] (EPPO A2 list) is reported for the first time in 
South Africa (Fourie et al, 2001). This confirms earlier reports. Present, 
no details.

Burkina Faso
------------
_Radopholus similis_ [Rs] occurs on banana in Burkina Faso (Sawadogo et 
al., 2001). Present, no details.

Indonesia
---------
In 2003, a breeding company submitted samples of tomato originating from 
Indonesia for diagnosis. Diseased samples collected from field and 
protected crops, showed severe chlorosis. Reverse transcriptase polymerase 
chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed the presence of tomato infectious 
chlorosis [closterovirus] [TICV] (EPPO Alert List). This is the first 
report of TICV in Indonesia (Verhoeven et al., 2003). Present, no details.

Detailed records:

Argentina
---------
In Argentina, _Nacobbus aberrans_ [Na] (EPPO A1 list) was found in Rio 
Negro and Santa Fe provinces for the first time (Chaves & Torres, 2001).

Spain
------
Studies were done in 2001 on the incidence of tomato yellow leaf curl 
begomovirus (TYLCV) and tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia begomovirus 
(TYLCV-Sar - both on the EPPO A2 list) in tomato crops in Comunidad 
Valenciana, Spain. TYLCV was found in all tomato-growing areas, whereas 
TYLCV-Sar was only detected in 2 plants near Elche, in the south of 
Comunidad Valenciana (Rubio et al, 2002).

[Gr (golden nematode or potato cyst nematode) is found worldwide and is 
common on potato and other crops. Losses due to nematode feeding can be 
extensive (20 to 70 per cent). Hg was introduced into the EPPO region in 
2000 in Lombardia, Italy. It is also found in several Asian countries, 
Egypt, and North and South America. Soybean is its major host. Hg interacts 
with the brown stem rot pathogen _Phialophora gregata_ and _Fusarium 
solani_, causing sudden death syndrome of soybean. Rs is a serious pathogen 
of banana and citrus, causing crop losses ranging from 5 to 100 per cent. 
Crop losses have been reported for Mf (False Columbia root-knot nematode) 
in potato (up to 65 per cent) and bean (35 per cent). The nematode is a 
problem in potato production in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

General management strategies for nematode-induced diseases include 
planting resistant cultivars where available, crop rotation, incorporating 
soil amendments (chicken manure, compost), solarization (heating of soil 
under clear plastic tarps), and nematocides.

I apologize for the lack of diacritic marks on the proper names and names 
of towns in this piece. I have provided them without the marks as some 
email programs fail to recognize them. - Mod.DH]
