NPDN: A Record of AccomplishmentsNPDN: A Record of Accomplishments
To enhance national agricultural security by rapidly detecting introduced pests and pathogens.
• First detector training and registry
• Increased awareness
• Training and support for diagnostic infrastructure
• National standards• Surge capacity
• Exercise scenarios• Secure communications• Coordination and
cooperation among agencies• Information to assist
response of regulatory agencies
• Harmonized reporting protocols
• Secure national data repository cataloguing pest and disease occurrences
• Newsletters and public relations

Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2
Sudden Oak Death/Ramorum blight Plum Pox virus
Asian soybean rust/ Phakopsorapachyrhizi
Ralstonia Bacterial WiltRalstonia Bacterial Wilt• Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2.• Pathogenic on:
– Geranium – Bananas– Pepper, tomato, eggplant, potato
• 2003-4: several introductions into the U.S. (holds on 489 nurseries across the country)
• Occurred in geranium cuttings from production greenhouses outside the U.S.; holds on hundreds of nurseries across the country)
• Concern for carry-over to potatoes and other solanaceous crops and weeds.
• NPDN labs processed samples and helped validate protocols.

Sudden Oak Death Ramorum Blight
Sudden Oak Death Ramorum Blight
• Phytophthora ramorum• First identified in 1993 in Europe on
Rhododendron and Viburnum.• 1995 - a new disease killing tanoak and
oak trees observed in California. • 2000 - the pathogen was confirmed to be
P. ramorum.• Natural infections limited to Europe,
California and Oregon.• Problem in plant nurseries!

Nov 6 – LSU researcher notes suspect sample in soybean plot; LSU and local APHIS begin distance diagnostics process with national APHIS.
Nov. 8 – sample in system for confirmatory diagnosis with APHIS; LSU notifies SPDN of possible SBR in US – not for public or general NPDN release
Nov 9 – APHIS alerted and PCR confirmsNov 10 – USDA/APHIS/Secretary of Ag – releases information to publicNov 11/18 - NPDN conference calls on SBR

“The history of NPDN is a record of accomplishment through effective and strategic partnerships. The most important resource to ensure success in any endeavor is people. NPDN has benefited from the talents of a long list of dedicated and knowledgeable individuals working together as a highly efficient team. Without those individuals, this network would not be successful. “
