SUMMARY TABLE OF TASMANIAN QUARANTINE PEST DECLARATIONS SINCE JAN 2006 – DEC 2021 (Sections 8 – 11 of the Plant Quarantine Act 1997 apply)
Pests are listed alphabetically. The term ‘Pest’ is used generically in accordance with the definition provided by the International Standard for Phytosanitary
Measures No 5 - Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms. The Standard defines a ‘pest’ to be “any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal or pathogenic agent injurious
to plants or plant products”.
PLEASE NOTE: Pest Categ Status = ‘Pest Categorisation Status’, according to Tasmania plant biosecurity’s 3 tier pest categorisation system of Regulated Quarantine
Pest (RQP), Unwanted Quarantine Pest (UQP), and Non-Quarantine Pest (NQP). RQP’s are regulated against formally through specific Import Requirement, held
within the Plant Biosecurity Manual Tasmania. UQP’s are partially declared under the Plant Quarantine Act 1997, and the risk these pests represent is mitigated
through non-IR control measures, such as industry Quality Assurance standards, standard quarantine barrier inspection procedures, and/or seasonally focused
inspection procedures for known risk pathways of particular interest. NQP’s are not subject to any form of official regulatory control other than normal plant product
hygiene standards.
Entries are listed as a cross-index:
• first by pest scientific name, second by pest common name, third by pest group, and fourth by date.
