Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> is presumably native to Asia and has spread through much of the Neotropical, Afrotropical, Palearctic, and Oceanic regions.\u00a0 In North America it is only known to be established in Florida1<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Official Control<\/u>:<\/strong> Aonidiella<\/em> orientalis<\/em> is listed as a harmful organism by Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Honduras, Japan, and the Republic of Korea2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

California Distribution<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong> Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> has never been found in California.<\/p>\n

California Interceptions<\/u>:\u00a0<\/strong> From 1987 through 2015 Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> was intercepted 225 times by CDFA\u2019s high risk programs, dog teams, and border stations.\u00a0 Many of these interceptions have been on coconut, papaya, and mango from Florida, Brazil, and Mexico.<\/p>\n

The risk Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> (Oriental scale) would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n

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

1) Climate\/Host Interaction<\/span>:<\/strong> Due to its highly polyphagous nature and known distribution across a range of climates Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> can be expected to establish a widespread distribution in California.\u00a0 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> Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> is known to feed on hundreds of species in at least 67 plant 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> Scale insects are capable of rapid reproduction and can be transported long distances when infested plants or fresh plant parts are moved.\u00a0 They may also disperse locally by crawling, wind, or by hitchhiking on clothing, equipment, or animals.\u00a0 Aonidiella orientalis<\/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> Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> is considered an economic pest of several crops that are grown in California and may be expected to lower crop yields and increase crop production costs.\u00a0 Oriental scale is listed as a harmful organism by several of California\u2019s trading partners.\u00a0 If the scale were to enter the state it may disrupt markets for fresh fruit and nursery stock.\u00a0 Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> 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> Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> is not expected to lower biodiversity, disrupt natural communities, or change ecosystem processes.\u00a0 It may feed on endangered and threatened species such as small-leaved rose (Rosa minutifolia<\/em>).\u00a0 Oriental scale is not expected to disrupt critical habitats.\u00a0 It may trigger additional official or private treatment programs in orchards, the nursery industry, and by residents who find infested plants unacceptable.\u00a0 Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> may also significantly impact cultural practices, home\/urban gardening, and ornamental plantings.\u00a0 It 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 Aonidiella orientalis<\/em> (Oriental Scale): High (15)<\/span><\/strong><\/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> Aonidiella orientalis<\/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 the consequences of introduction score minus the post entry distribution and survey information score: High (15) <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

There have not been any recent surveys for oriental scale in California.\u00a0 It is possible that it could be established in some localities.<\/p>\n

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

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