Crisicoccus pini(DACLPI)

Distribution details in France

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2022: Absent, invalid record
Comments
Listed as present in Côte d'Azur (French riviera). No particular damage recorded (Foldi and Germain, 2018). However, it is unclear in this paper if the pest has been found in France itself or if it refers to the finding made in the botanical garden of Monaco (Germain and Matile-Ferrero, 2006).

When re-evaluating the information during the EPPO Panel on Phytosanitary Measures in March 2022, it became clear that C. pini has only been found in Monaco.
