Alerts

Welcome to the latest feature of the Phytosanitary Alert System. In an effort to streamline the PAS website we have taken the best aspects of the News Story and Pest Alert and created the "Alert". We hope you find this new approach to our pest reporting more organized and informative. Previous News Stories and Pest Alerts are searchable in the archive.

Warning: The following alerts have not yet been confirmed with the appropriate national plant protection organization. They are provided solely as an early warning to NAPPO countries, and all national and regional plant protection organizations should use this information with caution.
