First recorded in: 2021
EPPO Reporting Service (2022/241) : first detected in 2022 in 4 locations (Middle Point, Jingili, Palmerston, and Malak) on various vegetable plants. A sample which had been collected in 2021 was re-examined and shown to be M. enterolobii, thus suggesting that the nematode has been present at least since then.
EPPO Reporting Service (2023/129) : following delimiting surveillance, it was detected at a further six properties in the Northern Territory, and one location in southern Queensland. Due to the pest’s biology and geographical distribution, it was determined that M. enterolobii is not eradicable from Australia.
