A wide variety of exotic tree pests can readily be transported into the United States on untreated wooden pallets, crating, bracing, and other solid wood packing materials (SWPM). Recent introductions of forest pests associated with importation of SWPM demonstrate that current United States import regulations are inadequate to exclude such pests. Nearly all (97 percent) of the quarantine-significant tree pests found by port inspectors are associated with SWPM. In spite of current bark-free import requirements, about 9 percent of maritime shipments contain bark, which provides habitat for numerous organisms. A pest risk assessment was conducted for the SWPM pathway to …
Pine Shoot Beetle (Tomicus Piniperda (L.)): Pest-Initiated Pest Risk Assessment For Likelihood And Consequences Of Spread Within The Continental United States, Judith E. Pasek
Judith E Pasek
This pest risk assessment for pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.), was conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine (USDA-APHIS, PPQ). A need to reevaluate the appropriateness of current quarantine and compliance management regulations pertaining to the Lake States and northeastern United States was identified considering the high program costs and impacts to affected industries and growers. Questions central to this issue include predictions of what levels of damage or impact might be expected should the pine shoot beetle (PSB) spread to other regions of the United States, and …
