The current CDFA detection of the pathogen in lavender, increases the number of represented families to ten. \u00a0<em>Septoria pistaciae<\/em> (syn. <em>S. protearum<\/em> according to Verkley <em>et al.,<\/em> 2013) was previously reported from a pistachio orchard in California (Farr <em>et al<\/em>., 1989; Michailides, 2005).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Disease development<\/u>:<\/strong> While there is no specific information on the disease development of <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> (Michailides, 2005), it is likely to be similar to that of other species in the genus.\u00a0 Generally, <em>Septoria<\/em> spp. overwinter as mycelium and as conidia (asexual spores) within pycnidia (asexual fruiting structures) on or in seed and on diseased plant debris left in the field.\u00a0 Infected seeds produce infected seedlings that may result in damping-off or provide inoculum for subsequent infections.\u00a0 When pycnidia in infected plant debris become wet, they swell and conidia are exuded in long tendrils and thereafter, spread by splashing rain, irrigation water, as well as contaminated tools and animals.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<em>Septoria<\/em> species usually require high moisture for infection and severe disease development, however, they can cause disease under a wide range of temperatures (10-27\u00b0C) (Agrios, 2005).\u00a0 The teleomorph (sexual) stage of <em>S. protearum<\/em> is unknown.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dispersal and spread:<\/em> Infected plants and nursery stock, splashing rain, irrigation water, plant leaf debris, contact with cultivation tools and animals (Agrios, 2005).<\/p>\n<p><em>Hosts:<\/em> \u00a0Presently, all reported hosts of <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> are included in several families, <em>viz<\/em>. Aspleniaceae, Proteaceae, Rutaceae, Rosaceae, Oleaceae, Boraginaceae, Davalliaceae, Anacardiaceae, Aracaceae, and Lamiaceae.\u00a0 Hosts include: <em>Asplenium ruta-muraria<\/em> (walrue fern), <em>Boronia denticulata<\/em> (mauve Boronia), <em>Gerbera jamesonii<\/em> (Gerber daisy), <em>Geum<\/em> sp. (Geum), <em>Gevuina avellana <\/em>(Avellano\/Chilean hazelnut), <em>Hedera helix <\/em>(common ivy\/English ivy), <em>Ligustrum vulgare <\/em>(common privet\/ European privet), <em>Masdevallia <\/em>sp. (Masdevallia), <em>Myosotis <\/em>sp. (mouse\u2019s ear), <em>Nephrolepis <\/em>sp. (fern), <em>Pistacia vera <\/em>(pistachio), <em>Protea cynaroides <\/em>(king protea), <em>Protea <\/em>sp. (protea), <em>Skimmia <\/em>sp. (Skimmia), <em>Zantesdeschia aethiopica <\/em>(calla lily) (Crous <em>et al<\/em>., 2008; Farr &amp; Rossman, 2017; Verkley <em>et al<\/em>., 2013).\u00a0 In addition, the pathogen was recently detected in <em>Lavendula<\/em> sp. (lavender; Lamiaceae) (<em>see<\/em>: \u2018Initiating Event\u2019).<\/p>\n<p><em>Symptoms<\/em>: \u00a0Leaf spots are produced in plants infected by <em>Septoria<\/em> species.\u00a0 Leaf spots usually start on the lower leaves and progress upwards, \u00a0initiating as small yellowish specks that later enlarge, turn pale brown or yellowish gray, and finally dark brown.\u00a0 They are usually surrounded by a narrow yellow region and may be circular to irregular.\u00a0 Affected leaves may turn yellow and eventually die. Numerous small black pycnidia are aggregated and appear as dots within the leaf spots (Agrios, 2005). In pistachio, <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> produces numerous, subcuticular brown spots, 0.5-1.5 mm on both sides of the leaf, with numerous black pycnidia clustered within the spots.\u00a0 In California, in pistachio fruit, the pathogen causes distinct grayish to light-brown fruit lesions, 1-4 mm in diameter, surrounded by a bright, distinctly reddish halo and usually located near the peduncle.\u00a0 Leaf infections have not been observed (Michailides, 2005).<\/p>\n<p><em>Damage Potential: <\/em>Quantitative losses due to <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> have not been reported.\u00a0 Photosynthetic area can be reduced due to leaf spotting.\u00a0 In severe infections, leaf wilt, premature leaf drop, and reduced tree vigor may result. Leaf and fruit spots are produced in pistachio. \u00a0Leaf spot damage caused by <em>S. protearum<\/em> may significantly impact production and marketing of nursery ornamental plants.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Worldwide Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> <em>Africa<\/em>: South Africa; <em>Europe<\/em>: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Canary Islands; <em>North America<\/em>: USA (California); <em>Oceania<\/em>:\u00a0 New Zealand (Farr &amp; Rossman, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Official Control<\/u>:<\/strong> \u00a0No official control for <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> has been reported.\u00a0 However, currently <em>Septoria<\/em> spp. is on the \u2018Harmful Organism\u2019 list for the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (USDA-PCIT, 2017).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Distribution<\/u>:<\/strong> \u00a0Previous to its current detection, <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> was reported from a pistachio orchard in California.\u00a0 Its recent detection was in a nursery in San Luis Obispo County (<em>see<\/em> \u201cInitiating Event\u2019).<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>California Interceptions<\/u>:<\/strong> \u00a0None.<\/p>\n<p>The risk <em>Septoria protearum<\/em> would pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Consequences of Introduction:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><strong>1) Climate\/Host Interaction: <\/strong><em>Septoria protearum<\/em> has a diverse range of hosts which largely include several ornamental plant species.
