Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2015: Absent, pest no longer present
Pest status declared by NPPO: Absent, pest no longer present (2015-12)
From CABI Pest map 010 (2012): Absent, no record
Comments
Only a few isolated findings have been reported in the past (probably limited incursions from third countries imports). The pest has never been detected in the Belgian potato production (as of 2015-12) and its establishment in Belgium is not considered feasible.
