EFSA植物健康小组对埃及伊塞里亚进行了害虫分类(半翅目:Sternorrhyncha:Monophlebidae),埃及凹槽秤,对于欧盟。这种昆虫在世界上热带和亚热带地区的几个国家建立。在欧盟内部,该害虫尚未报告。它未在委员会实施条例(EU)2019/2072的附件II中列出。它是高度多食的,以128属66科植物为食,有些偏爱鳄梨(PerseaAmericana),香蕉(穆萨sp.),柑橘(柑橘属。),椰子(Coccosnucifera),普通梨(Pyruscommunis),无花果(Ficusspp.),番石榴(Psidiumguajava),玉米(玉米),芒果(Mangiferaindica),白桑树(桑树),和葡萄(葡萄)。还记录了以番茄(Solanumlycopersicum)为食,以及观赏植物。种植植物和水果,蔬菜和切花是埃及伊蚊进入欧盟的主要潜在途径。在每年霜冻很少的欧盟部分地区,气候条件和寄主植物的可用性可能会使该物种成功建立和传播。对包括柑橘在内的栽培寄主的经济影响,葡萄,玉米,辣椒,向日葵,如果建立起来,预计会有西红柿和观赏作物。植物检疫措施可以减少进入和传播的可能性。I.Aegyptiaca符合EFSA职权范围内的标准,以评估该物种是否被视为潜在的联盟检疫害虫。
The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Icerya aegyptiaca (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha:
Monophlebidae), the Egyptian fluted scale, for the EU. This insect is established in several countries in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Within the EU, the pest has not been reported. It is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. It is highly polyphagous, feeding on plants in 128 genera and 66 families, with some preference for avocado (Persea americana), banana (Musa sp.), citrus (Citrus spp.), coconut (Coccos nucifera), common pear (Pyrus communis), fig (Ficus spp.), guava (Psidium guajava), maize (Zea mays), mango (Mangifera indica), white mulberry (Morus alba), and grapevine (Vitis vinifera). It has also been recorded feeding on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), as well as on ornamental plants. Plants for planting and fruits, vegetables and cut flowers are the main potential pathways for entry of I. aegyptiaca into the EU. Climatic conditions and availability of host plants in parts of the EU where there are very few days of frost each year would likely allow this species to successfully establish and spread. Economic impact in cultivated hosts including citrus, grapes, maize, peppers, sunflowers, tomatoes and ornamental crops is anticipated if establishment occurs. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry and spread. I. aegyptiaca meets the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for this species to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.
