IPPC monthly pest reporting summary – July 2025

Pest reporting is a key component of the National Reporting Obligations (NROs) under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). Prompt and transparent sharing of pest information helps prevent the introduction and spread of quarantine pests worldwide. Many countries meet these obligations through the International Phytosanitary Portal (IPP) and others through national or regional web-based systems. If your country uses such a system, we encourage you to inform the IPPC Secretariat. Get in touch today to ensure your country’s reporting system strengthens global plant health.

From 3 July 2025 to date, no new pest reports have been published on the IPP.

The European Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) Reporting Service for July provided official and scientific updates on several pests of first report, including Nipaecoccus viridis (family Pseudococcidae), Takahashia japonica (family Coccidae), Cnestus mutilatus (family Curculionidae) and Meloidogyne chitwoodi (family Meloidogynidae). It highlighted new and emerging pests such as plum viruses and viroids in India and Bidens mottle virus in sunflower.

Pest alerts and emerging pests

Enhancing pest reporting collaboration

We encourage NPPOs to continue their reporting efforts through the IPP by logging in as Official Contact Point (OCP), navigating to the country page dashboard, providing the necessary information and submitting the pest report.

If your NPPO uses a different platform or national system to report pest outbreaks, please inform the IPPC Secretariat by writing to [email protected], copying [email protected]
