PEST RATING PROFILE<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Initiating Event: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

On September 10, 2015, diseased Abutilon<\/em> sp. (mallow) plants showing chlorotic leaf spots were collected from a nursery in Solano County and sent by Solano County Agricultural officials to the CDFA Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch for analysis.\u00a0 Tongyan Tian, CDFA plant pathologist identified two plant viruses namely, Abutilon mosaic virus<\/em> and Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus<\/em> associated with symptomatic Abutilon leaves.\u00a0 Abutilon mosaic virus<\/em> is known to be present within the State, however there have been no earlier reports of HLFPV from California.\u00a0 The risk of infestation of HLFPV in California is evaluated and a permanent rating is herein proposed.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

History & Status:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Background<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus<\/em> was first reported from Florida, USA, and was named according to the location and host from which it was isolated (Allen et al.,<\/em> 2005).\u00a0 This virus belongs to the genus Tobamovirus<\/em> which, until the discovery of HLFPV was known to comprise of three sub-groups that correspond to viral genome sequence and host range and include viruses that infect solanaceous plants, brassicas, and cucurbits or legumes.\u00a0 Malvaceous plants had not been known as hosts for any of the tombamoviruses until the isolation of HLFPV as a new species from landscape plantings of the malvaceous plant hibiscus (Hibiscus rosinensis<\/em>) in Florida. Subsequently, a limited survey conducted in Florida revealed that HLFPV is widespread in hibiscus and related species in the State\u2019s landscapes.\u00a0 HLFPV was also detected in H. rosasinensis<\/em> in New Mexico, Thailand, Japan, and Indonesia (Adkins et al<\/em>., 2003, 2006; Allen et al., <\/em>2005; Yoshida et al<\/em>., 2014).\u00a0 The current detection of HLFPV in California marks the first detection of this viral pathogen in the State.<\/p>\n

Hosts<\/strong>: Natural hosts are mainly limited to Hibiscus<\/em> spp. in the Malvaceae family, and include, H. rosasinensis<\/em> (hibiscus), H. syriacus<\/em> (rose of Sharon), H. coccineus <\/em>(scarlett rosemallow), H. moscheutos<\/em> (common rosemallow), Malvaviscus arboreus<\/em> (Turk\u2019s cap), (Adkins et al<\/em>., 2003, 2006; Allen et al., <\/em>2005).\u00a0 The detection HLFPV in Abutilon<\/em> sp. from California marks a first record of a new host.<\/p>\n

Experimental, mechanically-inoculated hosts include species within the family Solanaceae (Nicotiana glutinosa, N. rustica<\/em>, and Petunia x hybrid<\/em> with symptoms; N. benthamiana, N. debneyi, N. excelsior, <\/em>and N. occidentalis<\/em> \u2013 symptomless), Gomphrena globosa<\/em> (symptomless), Chenopodium quinoa<\/em> and C. amaranticolor<\/em> (with symptoms), and species of the family Malvaceae including, Abelmoschus esculentus<\/em> (okra), Gossypium<\/em> sp., (cotton), Hibiscus cannabinus<\/em> (kenaf – symptomless), Malvaviscus arboreus<\/em> (Turk\u2019s cap), and Hibiscus<\/em> spp. (Adkins, et al.,<\/em> 2003, 2006).<\/p>\n

Symptoms<\/strong>: Symptoms of HLFPV infection of hibiscus leaves include diffuse cholorotic spots and rings and an overall chorotic mottle (Adkins, 2003).\u00a0 However, symptoms alone are not reliable for diagnosing HLFPV infections as hibiscus may be co-infected with additional viruses that often complex symptom expression.\u00a0 Therefore, different diagnostic tools are necessary for accurate identification of the pathogen in diseased plant tissue.<\/p>\n

Damage Potential<\/strong>: Presently, there are no reports of economic losses caused by HLFPV. Infected, symptomatic plants may cause loss in market value and sale of nursery plants.\u00a0 However, hibiscus plants may be co-infected with more than one additional virus which may result in greater loss in plant production and value than expected by HLFPV infections alone.<\/p>\n

Transmission<\/strong>: HLFPV is easily transmitted in hibiscus by common horticultural practices including mechanical transmission through contaminated pruning tools; infected plant cuttings, and nursery stock (Kamenova & Adkins, 2004; Adkins et al., <\/em>2006).<\/p>\n

Worldwide Distribution<\/u><\/strong>: Asia:<\/em> Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, North America:<\/em> USA (California, Florida, New Mexico) (Adkins et al<\/em>., 2003, 2006; Allen et al., <\/em>2005; Yoshida et al<\/em>., 2014).<\/p>\n

Official Control<\/u><\/strong>: None reported.\u00a0 Currently Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus<\/em> is rated Q in California.<\/p>\n

California Distribution<\/u><\/strong>: Solano County (nursery).<\/p>\n

California Interceptions<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 There are no records of Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus<\/em> detected in incoming plant shipments to California.<\/p>\n

The risk Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n

Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n

1) \u00a0Climate\/Host Interaction<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California. Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1) Not likely to establish in California; or likely to establish in very limited areas.
\n– Medium (2)<\/strong> may be able to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/span>
\n– High (3) likely to establish a widespread distribution in California.<\/p>\n

Risk is Medium (2)<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus is likely to establish wherever hibiscus plants are grown mainly in warm and moist regions within California.<\/em>\u00a0<\/span> \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

2) \u00a0Known Pest Host Range<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate the host range of the pest. Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1)<\/strong> has a very limited host range.<\/span>
\n– Medium (2) has a moderate host range.
\n– High (3) has a wide host range.<\/p>\n

Risk is Low (1) <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 Presently, the natural host range of<\/em> Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus is mainly limited to <\/em>Hibiscus spp. in the Malvaceae family.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

3) Pest Dispersal Potential<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate the natural and artificial dispersal potential of the pest. Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1) does not have high reproductive or dispersal potential.
\n– Medium (2) has either high reproductive or dispersal potential.
\n– High (3)<\/strong> has both high reproduction and dispersal potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Risk is High (3) <\/em><\/strong>\u2013 <\/em>Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus, a<\/em> tobamovirus, is readily transmitted mechanically through normal horticultural practices, particularly through contaminated pruning tools.\u00a0 It has high reproduction within infected plants and is therefore, \u00a0also spread through the movement of infected plant cuttings, and nursery stock.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

4) Economic Impact<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate the economic impact of the pest to California using the criteria below. Score:<\/p>\n

A. \u00a0The pest could lower crop yield.
\nB. \u00a0The pest could lower crop value (includes increasing crop production costs).
\nC. \u00a0The pest could trigger the loss of markets (includes quarantines).
\nD. \u00a0The pest could negatively change normal cultural practices.
\nE. \u00a0The pest can vector, or is vectored, by another pestiferous organism.
\nF. \u00a0The organism is injurious or poisonous to agriculturally important animals.
\nG. \u00a0The organism can interfere with the delivery or supply of water for agricultural uses.<\/p>\n

– Low (1) causes 0 or 1 of these impacts.
\n– Medium (2)<\/strong> causes 2 of these impacts.<\/span>
\n– High (3) causes 3 or more of these impacts.<\/p>\n

Risk is Medium (2)<\/em><\/strong> \u2013The economic impact of \u00a0HLFPV \u00a0would particularly affect nursery productions where HLFPV-infected plants could lower crop value, result in reduction in sales, and increase in clean plant production costs.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

5) Environmental Impact<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate the environmental impact of the pest on California using the criteria below.<\/p>\n

A. \u00a0The pest could have a significant environmental impact such as lowering biodiversity, disrupting natural communities, or changing ecosystem processes.
\nB. \u00a0The pest could directly affect threatened or endangered species.
\nC. \u00a0The pest could impact threatened or endangered species by disrupting critical habitats.
\nD. \u00a0The pest could trigger additional official or private treatment programs.
\nE. \u00a0The pest significantly impacts cultural practices, home\/urban gardening or ornamental plantings.<\/p>\n

Score the pest for Environmental Impact. Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1) causes none of the above to occur.
\n– Medium (2)<\/strong> causes one of the above to occur.<\/span>
\n– High (3) causes two or more of the above to occur.<\/p>\n

Risk is <\/em><\/strong>Medium<\/em><\/strong> (2)<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 The pathogen could significantly impact plantings of hibiscus in home\/urban environments.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Consequences of Introduction to California for Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus<\/em><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Add up the total score and include it here. (Score)<\/p>\n

-Low = 5-8 points
\n–Medium<\/strong> = 9-12 points<\/span>
\n-High = 13-15 points<\/p>\n

Total points obtained on evaluation of consequences of introduction of HLFPV to California = Medium<\/span> (10)<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) \u00a0Post Entry Distribution and Survey Information<\/span><\/strong>: Evaluate the known distribution in California. Only official records identified by a taxonomic expert and supported by voucher specimens deposited in natural history collections should be considered. Pest incursions that have been eradicated, are under eradication, or have been delimited with no further detections should not be included. (Score)<\/p>\n

-Not established (0) Pest never detected in California, or known only from incursions.
\n–Low (-1)<\/strong> Pest has a localized distribution in California, or is established in one suitable climate\/host area (region).<\/span>
\n-Medium (-2) Pest is widespread in California but not fully established in the endangered area, or pest established in two contiguous suitable climate\/host areas.
\n-High (-3) Pest has fully established in the endangered area, or pest is reported in more than two contiguous or non-contiguous suitable climate\/host areas.<\/p>\n

Evaluation is Low (-1). <\/em><\/strong>Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus was detected in a nursery in Solano County, California. <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Final Score:<\/h5>\n

7) The final score is the consequences of introduction score minus the post entry distribution and survey information score: (Score)<\/p>\n

Final Score: <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Score of Consequences of Introduction \u2013 Score of Post Entry Distribution and Survey Information = 9 <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Uncertainty: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

The distribution of<\/em> Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce virus within California is not fully known. Malvaceous host plants grown in private and commercial environments may be infected with a complex of viruses including HLFPV.\u00a0 The proposed rating may change as more is learned about the presence and distribution of this virus in California. <\/em><\/p>\n

Conclusion and Rating Justification: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Based on the evidence provided above the proposed rating for Hibiscus latent Fort Pierce<\/em> virus is B.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
