Epiphyas postvittana(TORTPO)
Distribution details in Sweden
Situation
Current pest situation evaluated by EPPO on the basis of information dated
2022: Absent, intercepted only
Comments
SLu (2022) concluded that no verified records of E. postvittana were found except from inside, or close to, a greenhouse which contained imported plants infested with the pest. Mainly based on this information it was assessed that E. postvittana is likely absent from Sweden. The main cause of uncertainty is the lack of species specific survey data from Sweden.
