Call for Pest Outbreak Alert from Contracting Parties
The IPPC Secretariat is currently involved globally in the prevention of Spodoptera frugiperda (Fall Armyworm) and of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 (TR4) (Fusarium Wilt TR4) and these pests will be included in the IPPC programme on Strengthening Pest Outbreak Alert and Response Systems. Contracting Parties are therefore invited NOT to provide an update on these two pests but rather provide alerts on other pest outbreaks which could have regional impacts.
Please send your proposal to Sarah Brunel ([email protected]) by the 6th of March 2020 (no proposal will be accepted after that date), with a one page summary addressing the points listed above in an FAO official language.
