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

In May 2015 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> was intercepted by CDFA\u2019s high risk programs on three shipments of leis from Hawaii.\u00a0 A pest rating proposal is required to assign a permanent pest rating.<\/p>\n

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

Background<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Larvae and adult Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> feed on flowers, young leaves, and fruit1<\/sup>.\u00a0 Where it is established it may be the most common thrips in citrus orchards3<\/sup> and is considered to be a serious pest2<\/sup>.\u00a0 Pupae overwinter in the soil and leaf litter and adults migrate to flowers as they emerge in the spring3<\/sup>.\u00a0 Adult females lay eggs inside the tissue of flowers, fruits, and leaves2<\/sup>. Primary hosts are: Rutaceae:<\/strong> Citrus bergamia<\/em>2<\/sup> (bergamot orange), Citrus aurantium<\/em>2<\/sup> (orange), Citrus limonia<\/em>2<\/sup> (lemon), Citrus<\/em> spp.3<\/sup>; Caprifoliaceae:<\/strong> Lonicera<\/em> spp.2<\/sup> (honeysuckle), Oleaceae:<\/strong> Jasminum fruticans<\/em>2<\/sup> (wild jasmine), Pittosporaceae:<\/strong> Pittosporum tobira<\/em>2<\/sup> (Japanese mock-orange).\u00a0 Other hosts include: Anacardiaceae: Mangifera indica<\/em>3<\/sup> (mango); Apiaceae:<\/strong> Daucus carota<\/em> (Queen Anne\u2019s lace), Foeniculum vulgare<\/em>2<\/sup> (fennel); Apocynaceae:<\/strong> Araujia sericifera<\/em>5<\/sup> (moth plant); Asteraceae:<\/strong> Helianthus<\/em> spp. (sunflower), Senecio<\/em> spp.2<\/sup> (ragworts), Anthemis cotula<\/em>2<\/sup> (stinking chamomile), Leucanthemum vulgare<\/em>2<\/sup> (ox-eye daisy), Sonchus oleraceus<\/em>2<\/sup> (common sowthistle), Calendula arvensis<\/em>3<\/sup> (field marigold), Urospermum picroides<\/em>3<\/sup> (prickly goldenfleece); Brassicaceae:<\/strong> Brassica<\/em> spp.2<\/sup> (mustard), Brassica rapa sylvestris<\/em>2<\/sup> (wild turnip), Sinaspis alba<\/em>2<\/sup> (white mustard); Fabaceae:<\/strong> Trifolium repens<\/em>2<\/sup> (white clover), Trifolium pratense<\/em>2<\/sup> (red clover); Lauraceae:<\/strong> Persea americana<\/em> (avocado); Malvaceae: <\/strong>Malva nicaeensis<\/em>3<\/sup> (bull mallow), Malva sylvestris<\/em>3<\/sup> (common mallow); Oleaceae:<\/strong> Jasminum officinale<\/em>3<\/sup> (jasmine); Jasminum sambac<\/em>3<\/sup> (Arabian jasmine), Ligustrum vulgare<\/em>2<\/sup> (wild privet); Oxalidaceae: <\/strong>Oxalis pes-caprae<\/em>3<\/sup> (Bermuda buttercup); Pittosporaceae:<\/strong> Hymenosporum<\/em> sp.1<\/sup> (native frangipani); Rosaceae:<\/strong> Eriobotrya japonica<\/em>3<\/sup> (loquat); Prunus dulcis<\/em> (almond)3<\/sup>; Rubus fruticosus<\/em>2<\/sup> (blackberry); Rubiaceae: <\/strong>Gardenia jasminoides<\/em>3<\/sup> (gardenia); Solanaceae:<\/strong> Lycopersicon <\/em>spp.2<\/sup> (tomato).\u00a0 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> may be transported long distances when infested plants, fresh plant parts, or soil or leaf litter is moved.<\/p>\n

Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> is probably native to Australia1<\/sup>.\u00a0 From there it has spread to New Zealand1<\/sup>, New Caledonia1<\/sup>, France1<\/sup>, Italy1<\/sup>, Greece1<\/sup>, Cyprus1<\/sup>, Turkey1<\/sup>, Spain2<\/sup>, Portugal2<\/sup>, and Israel2<\/sup>.\u00a0 Recent interceptions indicate that it could be present in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

Official Control<\/u>:<\/strong> Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> is listed as a harmful organism by Chile and Japan4<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

California Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> has never been found in the environment of California.<\/p>\n

California Interceptions<\/u>:<\/strong>\u00a0 From 2001 and 2015 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> has been intercepted by CDFA 13 times on shipments of leis from Hawaii.<\/p>\n

The risk Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> (Kelly\u2019s Citrus Thrips) would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n

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

1) Climate\/Host Interaction<\/span>:<\/strong> Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> is established in areas with climates similar to California and is expected to encounter suitable host material throughout much of the state. It receives a High (3)<\/strong> <\/span>in this category.<\/p>\n

Evaluate if the pest would have suitable hosts and climate to establish in California.\u00a0 Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1)<\/strong> Not likely to establish in California; or likely to establish in very limited areas.<\/p>\n

– Medium (2)<\/strong> may be able to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/p>\n

– High (3)<\/strong> likely to establish a widespread distribution in California.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Known Pest Host Range<\/span>:<\/strong> Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> is polyphagous on plants in at least 15 families.\u00a0 It receives a High (3)<\/strong><\/span> in this category.<\/p>\n

Evaluate the host range of the pest. Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1)<\/strong> has a very limited host range.<\/p>\n

– Medium (2)<\/strong> has a moderate host range.<\/p>\n

– High (3)<\/strong> has a wide host range.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Pest Dispersal Potential<\/span>:<\/strong> Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> has a high reproductive rate and may breed continuously throughout the year on plants that have extended flowering periods and repeated flower flushes2<\/sup>, such as lemons.\u00a0 The thrips may spread long distances when infested plants, fresh plant parts, or soil and leaf litter are moved.\u00a0 It may also spread by hitchhiking on clothing, equipment, or animals.\u00a0 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> receives a High (3)<\/strong><\/span> in this category.<\/p>\n

Evaluate the natural and artificial dispersal potential of the pest. Score:<\/p>\n

– Low (1)<\/strong> does not have high reproductive or dispersal potential.<\/p>\n

– Medium (2)<\/strong> has either high reproductive or dispersal potential.<\/p>\n

– High (3)<\/strong> has both high reproduction and dispersal potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Economic Impact<\/span>:<\/strong> If Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> were to establish in California it may lower crop yields and lower crop value.\u00a0 It is considered a serious pest in citrus orchards and its feeding can lead to reduced yields and disfigure fruit with stem-end scarring, ring-scarring with halo and scurfing, and rind discoloration2,5<\/sup>.\u00a0 This may lead to fresh market fruit being diverted to juice production and trigger chemical treatments2<\/sup>.\u00a0 There are many additional crops in California that may also be affected.\u00a0 The presence of this thrips in California may also disrupt markets since it is listed as a harmful organism by both Japan and Chile4<\/sup>.\u00a0 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> is not expected to change cultural practices, injure animals, or disrupt water supplies.\u00a0 It is not known as a vector of plan pathogens.\u00a0 It receives a High (3) <\/strong><\/span>in this category.<\/p>\n

Evaluate the economic impact of the pest to California using the criteria below. Score:<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>. The pest could lower crop yield.<\/span><\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. The pest could lower crop value (includes increasing crop production costs).<\/span><\/p>\n

C<\/strong>. The pest could trigger the loss of markets (includes quarantines).<\/span><\/p>\n

D. The pest could negatively change normal cultural practices.<\/p>\n

E. The pest can vector, or is vectored, by another pestiferous organism.<\/p>\n

F. The organism is injurious or poisonous to agriculturally important animals.<\/p>\n

G. The organism can interfere with the delivery or supply of water for agricultural uses.<\/p>\n

– Low (1)<\/strong> causes 0 or 1 of these impacts.<\/p>\n

– Medium (2)<\/strong> causes 2 of these impacts.<\/p>\n

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

5) Environmental Impact<\/span>:<\/strong> If Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> were to establish in California it is not expected to lower biodiversity, disrupt natural communities, or change ecosystem processes. \u00a0It may feed on threatened and endangered species including Algodones Dunes sunflower (Helianthus niveus<\/em> tephrodes<\/em>), showy indian clover (Trifolium amoenum<\/em>), pacific grove clover (Trifolium polyodon<\/em>), and Monterey clover (Trifolium trichocalyx<\/em>).\u00a0 The thrips is not expected to disrupt critical habitats.\u00a0 It is likely to trigger new chemical treatments in agriculture and by residents who find infested plants unsightly.\u00a0 Many of the hosts of Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> are grown as ornamentals and in home gardens in California and may be significantly impacted.\u00a0 Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> receives a High (3)<\/strong><\/span> in this category.<\/p>\n

Evaluate the environmental impact of the pest on California using the criteria below.<\/p>\n

A. The pest could have a significant environmental impact such as lowering biodiversity, disrupting natural communities, or changing ecosystem processes.<\/p>\n

B<\/strong>. The pest could directly affect threatened or endangered species.<\/span><\/p>\n

C. The pest could impact threatened or endangered species by disrupting critical habitats.<\/p>\n

D<\/strong>. The pest could trigger additional official or private treatment programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

E<\/strong>. The pest significantly impacts cultural practices, home\/urban gardening or ornamental plantings.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

– Low (1)<\/strong> causes none of the above to occur.<\/p>\n

– Medium (2)<\/strong> causes one of the above to occur.<\/p>\n

– High (3)<\/strong> causes two or more of the above to occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consequences of Introduction to California for Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> (Kelly\u2019s Citrus Thrips)<\/strong>: High (15)<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

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

–Low<\/strong> = 5-8 points<\/p>\n

–Medium<\/strong> = 9-12 points<\/p>\n

–High<\/strong> = 13-15 points<\/span><\/p>\n

6) Post Entry Distribution and Survey Information<\/span>:<\/strong> Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> has never been found in California and receives a Not established (0)<\/strong><\/span> in this category.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

–Not established (0)<\/strong> Pest never detected in California, or known only from incursions.<\/span><\/p>\n

–Low (-1)<\/strong> Pest has a localized distribution in California, or is established in one suitable climate\/host area (region).<\/p>\n

–Medium (-2)<\/strong> Pest is widespread in California but not fully established in the endangered area, or pest established in two contiguous suitable climate\/host areas.<\/p>\n

–High (-3)<\/strong> 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

Final Score:<\/h5>\n

The final score is<\/strong> the consequences of introduction score minus the post entry distribution and survey information score: High (15) <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

Existing IPM programs targeting other thrips that are already established in California may preclude some of the impacts from this pest.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Conclusion and Rating Justification: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Pezothrips kellyanus<\/em> has never been found in California and may have significant economic and environmental impacts if it were to establish in the state.\u00a0 An \u201cA\u201d rating is justified.<\/p>\n
