Update on the situation of quarantine pests in the Russian Federation


The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of the Russian Federation prepared a National Report gathering information on the situation of quarantine pests in the Russian Federation as of 31st December 2024. The EPPO Secretariat summarized the relevant information below and the associated data has been updated in the EPPO Global Database. For each pest, the number of federal subjects where it is present and the total area of the established quarantine zones (including the infested zones and buffer zones) are given (to the nearest hectare). When the occurrence of a pest in the country was not previously known to the EPPO Secretariat, this is indicated by an asterisk (*). The pests that had been previously recorded and eradicated are indicated with an †.
