Guidance on quantitative pest risk assessment. [PDF]
This Guidance describes a two-phase approach for a fit-for-purpose method for the assessment of plant pest risk in the territory of the EU. Phase one consists of pest categorisation to determine whether the pest has the characteristics of a quarantine pest or those of a regulated non-quarantine pest for the area of the EU.

Inventory and review of quantitative models for spread of plant pests for use in pest risk assessment for the EU territory [PDF]
Robust modelling tools for predicting the spread and dispersal of plant pests are required for effective risk assessment of the impact of both novel and existing pests in the EU. The ongoing project OC/EFSA/PLH/2012/01 reviews the current state of the art in pest spread modelling to evaluate the fitness of alternative modelling strategies for various ...

A Suite of Models to Support the Quantitative Assessment of Spread in Pest Risk Analysis
Los Análisis de Riesgo de Plagas (pra) se llevan a cabo en todo el mundo para decidir si y cómo deben regularse las plagas de plantas exóticas para evitar la invasión. Existe una creciente demanda de mapeo de riesgos basado en la ciencia en pra. La propagación juega un papel clave en la determinación de la distribución potencial de las plagas, pero no ...

Pest risk assessment of Amyelois transitella for the European Union
Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest risk assessment of Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the navel orangeworm, for the EU. The quantitative assessment considered two scenarios: (i)

Abstract Despite national and international efforts to prevent non‐indigenous species’ introductions, the spread of transboundary plant pests has increased dramatically in recent years, and it seems inevitable that many more species will enter the EU in the future.

Pest risk assessment of Radopholus similis for the EU territory
The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest risk assessment on Radopholus similis, the burrowing nematode for the EU. The quantitative assessment focused on entry, establishment, spread and impact on tropical and subtropical ornamental host plants, the ...
