Résumé

This report concerns new official findings of Anoplophora chinensis in public green in the Netherlands. It is the first time that individuals of this pest managed to survive outdoors in the Netherlands. The findings were detected at the beginning of December following a specific survey targeted at companies importing trees and bonsais from Asia. The findings in public green were detected adjacent to a company importing Acer spp. from China. Trace- forward of related consignments is ongoing. Measures are aimed at eradication and will need to be completed by the end of April, after which adults of A. chinensis may be capable of flight. At affected companies, all Acer spp. trees from the same consignment will be destroyed.

Danger

It is presumed that the outbreak has been present at least since 2002. It is the first time that individuals of this pest managed to survive outdoors in the Netherlands. The findings can be directly linked to imports from China and Japan. The direct impact for public green is limited. The impact for affected companies is large.
