Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated 2026: Absent, confirmed by survey
Pest status declared by NPPO: Absent (2026-10)
Comments
NPPO (2026): the publication by Rännäli, et al. (2009) indicates in their study that sweet potatoes purchased from farmers on Rapa Nui were used; however, this does not guarantee the origin of the material, and surveillance carried out on the crop on the island has not reported any viruses to date.
