NAME OF THE ORGANISM: Potato virus Y (PVY000)
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE PEST
Name as submitted in the project specification (if different to the preferred name):
Pest category:
Viruses and viroids
1- Identity of the pest/Level of taxonomic listing:
Is the organism clearly a single taxonomic entity and can it be adequately distinguished from other entities of the same rank?
Yes
Is the pest defined at the species level or lower?:
Yes
Can listing of the pest at a taxonomic level higher than species be supported by scientific reasons or can species be identified within the taxonomic rank which are the (main) pests of concern?
- Not relevant: Seed potato sector
Is it justified that the pest is listed at a taxonomic rank below species level?
Not relevant
Conclusion:
- Not evaluated: Seed potato sector
Justification (if necessary):
Seed potato sector: the pest is not evaluated, because qualified based on EPPO PM 4 Standard;
Vegetable propagating and planting material (other than seeds) sector: Aphid transmitted in a non-persistent manner, this virus seems to have the same effects on pepper as for tomato and aubergine (EPPO, 2004). Therefore it is suggested it should be treated in the same manner as for those two hosts.
