Grodadh fàinne buntàta: pròifil air pathogen buntàta agus ceumannan smachd (pàirt I)

Clavibacter sepedonicus, ag adhbhrachadh lobhadh fàinne buntàta, (https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/CORBSE) na phrìomh phataigin bacteriach ann am buntàta ann am mòran àiteachan far a bheil buntàta ga fhàs. Bidh seo a’ cruthachadh biofilms air diofar sheòrsaichean uachdar. Bidh cruthachadh biofilm a’ neartachadh mairsinneachd bacteria san àrainneachd airson ùine mhòr. Is e am prìomh lus aoigheachd Solanum tuberosum (potato); however there is a number of experimental host plants in accordance with the EPPO Global Database (https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/CORBSE/hosts).

C. sepedonicus is designated as the regulated quarantine pest in the EU region. The main consequence of tuber infection of potatoes is downgrading seed potatoes through seed certification, thereby reducing the cost of seed potatoes and profits of seed potato growers. Since European plant health laboratories perform the laboratory control of this regulated quarantine pest through laboratory testing using modern molecular (such as conventional PCR tests, real time PCR tests) and their National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) take effective phytosanitary measures to avoid the pest distribution and infestation of lots of seed potatoes, the status of the pest is designated as present, restricted distribution or present, few occurrences in accordance with the EPPO Global Database (https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/CORBSE/distribution). Stèidhichte air eòlas air feartan bith-eòlasach a’ phataigin bhuntàta seo, Inbhean Àite Sàbhailte ann am frèam Sgeama Dearbhaidh Bidhe an Tractar Dheirg (https://redtractorassurance.org.uk/standard-categories/safe-haven-potatoes/) a sgrìobhadh gus slàinte bàrr a neartachadh agus sgìre na RA a chumail air falbh bho làthaireachd mòran pathogens buntàta ann am bàrr buntàta. Tha seo a’ dèanamh an eadar-dhealachaidh agus tha cuid de roinnean san RA air an aithneachadh mar na Roinnean Àrd-Ìre («raointean cinneasachaidh buntàta àrd-inbhe») a rèir Co-dhùnadh a’ Choimisein 2004/3/EC (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32004D0003).
