    Risk Analysis for Phytophthora ramorum : Objectives

Project Results:
 
The Pest Risk Analysis for P. ramorum in the EU has been completed. Pest Risk Analysis   Summary PRA
 
Distribution and potential spread of Phytophthora ramorum in Europe (Work Package 1)
Data are being collated on the natural hosts, potential hosts and mating types of P. ramorum.
See 'Distribution WP1' for details
 
Potential host range of European and American isolate of Phytophthora ramorum (Work Package 2)
Trials have now been carried out to determine whether two Woodland species (Calluna vulgaris and Erica gracilis) are susceptible to P. ramorum. Results of the trials can be found here
 
Phytophthora ramorum mating types and the potential for sexual reproduction (Work Package 4)
Experiments have now been undertaken to characterise European and American isolates of P. ramorum, by their morphology and mating behaviour with other Phytophthora species. Results can be found here
 
To evaluate the likely environmental and socio-economic impact of P. ramorum. (Work Package 5)
The requirements for a full economical and environmental impact assessment for P. ramorum has been presented at the International Plant Health Risk Analysis Workshop in Canada (October 2005).
