Development of detection methods for quarantine plant pests for use by Plant Health Inspection Services Q-DETECT WP 4 Trapping Q-pests Report to the 6th meeting Zurich 22nd October 2012 - Introduction and aims - Key results at month 32/36 - Progress against deliverables
Development of detection methods for quarantine plant pests for use by Plant Health Inspection Services • Objectives • To identify trapping methods that are easy-to-use by NPPO officers for pests and vectors of Q diseases • To develop generic traps, possibly integrating different cues • To make on-site identification through coupling automatic trap with diagnostic tools • To deliver a trapping guide for NPPO officers that complements all other detection methods available
Development of detection methods for quarantine plant pests for use by Plant Health Inspection Services • Results • To identify trapping methods that are easy-to-use by NPPO officers for pests and vectors of Q diseases • De Kogel W. J. , Battisti A. et al. 2012. A list of methods to detect arthropod quarantine pests in Europe. EPPO/OEPP Bulletin DOI: 10.1111/epp.2523 • Feed the last deliverable (Trapping guide)
Development of detection methods for quarantine plant pests for use by Plant Health Inspection Services • Results • 2. To develop generic traps, possibly integrating different cues • Wood beetles: paper under submission • Bemisia tabaci: report delivered, paper in preparation • Monochamus: one paper published and one in preparation (trapping + LAMP for beetle species and nematodes) • Lepidoptera: included in the review and in modelling (WP2) • Fruit flies: tested in 2012 with smart traps in Italy and NZ
Development of detection methods for quarantine plant pests for use by Plant Health Inspection Services Results 3. To make on-site identification through coupling automatic trap with diagnostic tools: prototype available and tested in Italy and NZ
Results 4. To deliver a trapping guide for NPPO officers that complements all other detection methods available In preparation for the final meeting, info partly from a paper in EPPO Bulletin (in press): A review of pest surveillance techniques for detecting quarantine pests in Europe + Protocol for deployment of smart traps, alone and in combination with LAMP detection of vectors and diseases
