Pest categorisation of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus

摘要: Following a request from the European Commission, Panel on Plant Health performed pest categorisation on tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV). ToLCNDV is well-defined bipartite Begomovirus species, sometimes associated with satellite molecules. It transmitted by Bemisia tabaci to wide range of hosts. reported Estonia, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain, limited distribution. The prevalent strain (ToLCNDV-ES) in these countries particularly adapted cucurbits different isolates outside EU, which are better solanaceous crops could therefore pose additional risk for EU agriculture. regulated under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. main pathway entry identified plants planting susceptible hosts, even if also occur via commodities carrying viruliferous B. possibly seeds. While establishment local spread rely tabaci, can be dispersed over long distances movement infected planting. Establishment regions ecoclimatic conditions suitable vector populations (southern Europe) or as outbreaks wherever grown protected cultivation. uncertainties this distribution prevalence magnitude impact hosts Cucurbitaceae, seed transmission. meets all criteria evaluated EFSA qualify potential Union Quarantine Pest (QP); conversely, does not meet criterion being widespread Regulated Non-Quarantine (RNQP). Should new data show that possibility would exist non-EU QP, while RNQP.
