  4. General Considerations (2) Three host statuses are described (natural host, nonnatural host, non-host) Determination is based on surveillance under natural conditions and trials under semi-natural field conditions

  5. Drafting Issues Existent regional standards and scientific publications with extensive reviews of host status determination were considered for the ISPM draft An expert was invited to help draft the ISPM

  6. Other relevant information Laboratory trials were excluded from this draft because they present artificial situations where the behavior of fruit flies is highly manipulated Host status definition will be included to ISPM 5 after adoption of this draft The other definitions (natural host, nonnatural host, non-host), are specific to the present draft ISPM and will not be included in ISPM 5
