FRUITFLYRISKMANAGE: A Euphresco project for Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae) risk management applied in some European countries

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 354-371, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the Mediterranean fruit fly or medfly, is one of the world's most serious threats to fresh fruits. It is highly polyphagous (recorded from over 300 hosts) and capable of adapting to a wide range of climates. This pest has spread to the EPPO region and is mainly present in the southern part, damaging Citrus and ...

Pesticide effects on soil fauna communities—A meta‐analysis

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 7, Page 1239-1253, July 2023., 2023
Our study highlights that pesticide use has significant detrimental non‐target effects on soil biodiversity, eroding a substantial part of global biodiversity and threatening ecosystem health. This provides crucial evidence supporting recent policies, such as the European Green Deal, that aim to reduce pesticide use in agriculture to conserve ...

Commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary plants grafted on Ligustrum japonicum from the UK

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by evergreen 3‐ to 20‐year‐old topiary plants of ...

Seed pathway for pest dissemination: The ISTA Reference Pest List, a bibliographic resource in non‐vegetable crops

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 434-445, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Food security is threatened by harmful pests whose impact may strongly differ among crops, agricultural practices and world regions. International movement of seed can be a pathway for pest dissemination into new geographic areas. The most damaging pests are regulated in some countries and/or regions of the world.

Climate‐specific dynamics of fall armyworm on maize: Implications for pest monitoring and management

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 600-612, November 2025.
FAW moth captures were higher in the Sudanese zone than the Guinean zone, peaking during the major rainy season, while the Guinean zone had more captures in the dry season. In the Guinean zone, plant damage correlated with adult moth captures and larval densities, whereas no such correlation was found in the Sudanese zone or at different maize growth ...

Outbreak of Phytophthora abietivora in a Québec Forest Nursery: Emergence of a New Phytophthora Tree Pathogen?

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Tree nurseries play a key role in the Canadian economy and reforestation efforts, producing over 600 million seedlings annually. Despite rigorous management practices, nurseries are not exempt from pathogen outbreaks, which can be devastating on many levels.

The surrounding landscape affects ecosystem multifunctionality in oilseed rape fields

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2283-2295, September 2025.
Our findings suggest that diverse landscapes are required to ensure the simultaneous delivery of a bundle of ecosystem functions in oilseed rape fields. Altogether, our findings indicate that landscape management should not only promote different semi‐natural elements but also should target limitation of dilution effects.

First records of Aulacaspis tubercularis, Icerya seychellarum and Protopulvinaria pyriformis on Persea indica

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 328-334, August 2025.
Abstract Persea indica (Lauraceae) is an endemic evergreen tree of the Macaronesian Laurisilva forests, valued for its ecological importance, ornamental appeal and bioactive compounds. We report, for the first time, the presence of three scale insect species (Superfamily Coccoidea), namely Aulacaspis tubercularis, Icerya seychellarum and ...

Tracing the origin of the alien pest Cydia pomonella in Algeria through a worldwide comparison of the species’ DNA barcodes Reserche de l'origine du ravageur exotique Cydia pomonella en Algérie grâce à une comparaison mondiale des codes‐barres ADN de l'espèce Rastreando el origen de la plaga exótica Cydia pomonella en Argelia mediante una comparación mundial de los códigos de barras del ADN de la especie

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 171-181, May 2025.
Cydia pomonella (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a harmful apple and pear pest spread worldwide. We sequenced, for the first time, mitochondrial DNA from C. pomonella caterpillars collected in Northern Africa (Algeria) and assessed where it was introduced from.

Tuta absoluta's population genetic structure across Africa: Two well‐delineated but weakly differentiated groups suggesting few introductions and significant gene flow Structure génétique des populations de Tuta absoluta à travers l'Afrique: deux groupes bien délimités mais faiblement différenciés suggérent peu d'introductions et un flux génétique important

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 223-240, May 2025.
Abstract Describing the genetic structure and diversity of invasive insect pest populations is essential to better understand a species' invasion history and success throughout its distribution range. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) is a destructive pest of tomato and many other solanaceous crops, with very high economic impacts. Its
