欧盟发布防控叶缘焦枯病菌的紧急意见

    食品伙伴网讯   据欧盟食品安全局消息，近日意大利南部地区部分植物出现叶缘焦枯病菌（Xylella fastidiosa），对此11月26日欧盟食品安全局发布关于叶缘焦枯病菌的紧急意见。

    叶缘焦枯病菌在欧盟出现尚属首次，受感染的植物包括杏树、梨树、李子树、葡萄等。欧盟食品安全局认为，防控的重点应放在栽培类植物贸易与传染性昆虫两方面。

    部分原文报道如下：

    The European Food Safety Authority （EFSA） has concluded that focusing on the trade of plants intended for planting and on the presence of infective insects in plant consignments would be the most effective ways of limiting the spread of the bacteria Xylella fastidiosa that has recently been detected in Southern Italy, the first outbreak of its kind in the European Union.

    Transmitted by certain types of sap-sucking hopper insects, the bacteria X. fastidiosa, has been identified in the current disease outbreak that has affected 8000 hectares of olive trees in the Puglia region of Southern Italy.  The bacteria can be hosted in a very broad range of plants including almond, peach, plum, apricot, grapevines, citrus, coffee and olive as well as oak, elm, Ginkgo and sunflower.  Importantly, plants can carry the bacteria without showing signs of disease.  X. fastidiosa is regulated as a harmful organism in the European Union （EU）， whose introduction into, and spread within, all Member States is banned.
