摘要：Situation of Quarantine Pests and Diseases in
the Year 2008
Despite of intensive monitoring and eradication measures,
the Asian Longhorn Beetle (ALB) Anoplophora
glabripennis, present since 2001 in Braunau, could not be
eradicated. Also in 2008 ten infested trees were detected
and destroyed. Therefore, in July 2008 a new eradication
project started, financed by the Provincial Government of
Upper Austria. Main tasks within this project are an
intensive raster-monitoring in the whole city of Braunau,
especially done by tree climbers, the creation of a tree
register map of all trees under public and private ownership
with permanent marking, and also preventive
cuttings. In November 2008 the Austrian eradication
measures were investigated by an EU expert commission.
During the winter 2008/09 preventive cuttings in an extent
of five hectares were carried out.
Mycosphaerella dearnessii, Lecanosticta disease of Pine,
was detected for the first time in a forest in Lower Austria.
For the quarantine pests Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pine
wood nematode), Phytophthora ramorum and P. kernoviae
as well as Gibberella circinata no evidence was found for
their occurrence in Austria. No further Eutypella
parasitica damage was detected.
