Quarantine bacterioses Ralstonia spp. for the Russian Federation

In 2018–2019, FGBU “VNIIKR” prepared pest risk ana-lyses on agents of bacterial diseases included in the species complex Ralstonia solanacearum sensu lato. This species complex is included in the lists of the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) and the European Union (EU) and reclassified in 2018 into 3 different species: R. solanacearum (А2), R. pseudo-solanacearum (А2) and R. syzygii (А1). In the process of preparing pest risk analyses, the taxonomic position of these species was studied, the collection, synthesis and analysis of data on their geographical distribution, phytosanitary status, host plants in the countries of distribution, biological characteristics, methods of detection and identification, pathways of these species, as well as their harmfulness, including in the economic dimension. According to the results of studies of the biology of the considered species, analysis of conditions favorable for the introduction and adaptation of pests, as well as their potential harmfulness, their phytosanitary risk for the territory of the Russian Federation was determined. It has been established that all considered species meet the criteria of quarantine organisms and can spread on the territory of the Russian Federation, causing significant damage to crops.
