Orthotospovirus impatiensnecromaculae(INSV00)

Distribution details in Taiwan

Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2022: Absent, invalid record
Pest status declared by NPPO: Absent, invalid record (2022-06)
Comments
The NPPO of Taiwan stated that INSV is absent from its territory. The record appearing in Zang et al. (2021) is a misinterpretation of Adam et al. (1993) which clearly says that the studied isolates from Taiwan were not INSV (but another tospovirus).
