PEST RATING PROFILE<\/h3>\n

Initiating Event: <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is currently Q-rated.\u00a0 A permanent pest rating proposal is required to support an official pest rating.<\/p>\n

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

Background:<\/u><\/strong> \u00a0Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is a large (1.5-3 cm in length) beetle that is orange-brown with gray and black markings on the elytra and black stripes on the pronotum (Benker, 2012).\u00a0 The eggs are laid in dead or dying coniferous trees, primarily Pinus<\/em> species but also Abies<\/em>, Cedrus<\/em>, Larix<\/em>, and Picea<\/em> species (Benker, 2012).\u00a0 The larvae feed on the wood and pupate inside the host.\u00a0 Adults feed on living branches of healthy pines before mating. \u00a0This pre-reproduction feeding is common in Cerambycidae and is referred to as maturation feeding (Shibata, 1984).\u00a0 Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is a vector of the pine wood nematode or pine wilt nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus <\/em>(Steiner and Buhrer), which causes pine wilt disease, a deadly disease of pines (Kwon et al., 2006; Shibata, 1984).\u00a0 The nematode is transmitted to healthy trees during maturation feeding, and if the tree is susceptible, pine wilt disease ensues.\u00a0 The nematodes are also transferred to dead trees during oviposition.\u00a0 Nematodes that are present in the dead trees while the beetle is developing are then dispersed with the emerging adult beetle to be transmitted to healthy trees during maturation feeding.\u00a0 This nematode is native to North America and appears to cause little damage there, although exotic pines are also attacked (Donald et al., 2016).\u00a0 The nematode has been introduced to the Old World and has had a severe impact in Asia.<\/p>\n

Cerambycids that feed on dead wood, including Monochamus<\/em> species, can damage cut timber through the tunneling and feeding of the larvae and the staining of the wood by fungi that enter the wood through feeding damage (Raske, 1972).\u00a0 Monochamus<\/em> species were reported to be some of the most common pests of wood in mill yards in British Columbia, and the tunneling of their larvae significantly degraded the value of timber (Carlson, 1997).<\/p>\n

Worldwide Distribution<\/u><\/strong>:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is present in China, Korea, Japan, Laos, Taiwan, and Vietnam (Kwon et al., 2006).<\/p>\n

Official Control:<\/u><\/strong> Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is categorized as an \u201cA1\u201d pest by the EPPO, a quarantine pest by Canada and Norway, and reportable by the USDA-APHIS (EPPO, 2018; USDA-APHIS).<\/p>\n

California Distribution: <\/u><\/strong>\u00a0Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is not known to be present in California (Symbiota Collections of Arthropods Network).<\/p>\n

California Interceptions:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Monochamus alternatus<\/em> was found in a store in Sacramento County, apparently having emerged from wood crates from China, in 2005.\u00a0 The species was also found on wood crates from China in Santa Clara County in 1995, although this identification was tentative (CDFA Pest and Damage Report Database, 2018).<\/p>\n

The risk Monochamus alternatus <\/em>wo<\/em>uld pose to California is evaluated below.<\/p>\n

Consequences of Introduction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Climate\/Host Interaction:<\/strong> The climates represented by the distribution of Monochamus alternatus<\/em> apparently range from tropical to temperate. In one experiment, the survival of the beetle at low temperatures led the authors to suggest -10\u00b0C January mean air temperature as the lower limit of survival (Ma et al., 2006).\u00a0 The majority of California has higher mean January temperatures than this (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2018).\u00a0 This beetle is reported to feed on trees in the genera Pinus<\/em>, Abies<\/em>, Cedrus<\/em>, Larix<\/em>, and Picea<\/em>.\u00a0 Except for Larix<\/em>, there are numerous native and introduced species from these genera in California, and they are distributed widely within the state.\u00a0 Monochamus alternatus <\/em>could become established in a large portion of California.\u00a0 Therefore, Monochamus alternatus <\/em>receives a High (3)<\/span><\/strong> in this category.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Low (1) Not likely to establish in California; or likely to establish in very limited areas.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Medium (2) may be able to establish in a larger but limited part of California.<\/p>\n

\u2013 High (3)<\/strong> likely to establish a widespread distribution in California.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Known Pest Host Range: <\/strong>Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is reported to feed on five genera in the family Pinaceae. Therefore, it receives a Medium (2)<\/span><\/strong> in this category.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Low (1) has a very limited host range.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Medium (2) <\/strong>has a moderate host range.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 High (3) has a wide host range.<\/p>\n

3) Pest Dispersal Potential:<\/strong> Monochamus alternatus<\/em> can fly (Ito, 1982), and is also capable of being dispersed through movement of wood, as shown by the interception of this species in wood packing material.\u00a0 Therefore, it receives a Medium (2)<\/strong> <\/span>in this category.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Low (1) does not have high reproductive or dispersal potential.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Medium (2) <\/strong>has either high reproductive or dispersal potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 High (3) has both high reproduction and dispersal potential.<\/p>\n

4) Economic Impact:<\/strong> If alternatus<\/em> became established in California, it could damage cut timber, which would reduce the value of the timber.\u00a0 The timing of timber harvest may be changed in response to this.\u00a0 This beetle is a known vector of the pine wood nematode, which is present in California and damages and kills introduced pines. \u00a0Therefore, it receives a High (3)<\/span><\/strong> in this category.<\/p>\n

Economic Impact:\u00a0 B, D, E<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

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

Economic Impact Score:\u00a0 3<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Low (1) causes 0 or 1 of these impacts.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Medium (2) causes 2 of these impacts.<\/p>\n

\u2013 High (3) <\/strong>causes 3 or more of these impacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Environmental Impact:<\/strong> Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is a known vector of pine wood nematode, which is present in California. This nematode apparently does not impact native pines, but it damages and kills introduced pines, so plantings of introduced pines in California would be threatened by the establishment of this beetle. \u00a0Therefore, it receives a Medium (2)<\/span> <\/strong>in this category.<\/p>\n

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

Environmental Impact:\u00a0 E<\/span><\/strong><\/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. The pest could directly affect threatened or endangered species.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

Environmental Impact Score:\u00a0 2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Low (1) causes none of the above to occur.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Medium (2) <\/strong>causes one of the above to occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 High (3) causes two or more of the above to occur.<\/p>\n

Consequences of Introduction to California for Monochamus alternatus<\/em>: Medium (12)<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

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

\u2013Low = 5-8 points<\/p>\n

\u2013Medium <\/strong>= 9-12 points<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013High = 13-15 points<\/p>\n

6) Post Entry Distribution and Survey Information:<\/strong> Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is not known to be present in California.\u00a0 It receives a Not established (0)<\/span> <\/strong>in this category.<\/p>\n

\u2013Not established (0) <\/strong>Pest never detected in California, or known only from incursions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Low (-1) Pest has a localized distribution in California, or is established in one suitable climate\/host area (region).<\/p>\n

\u2013Medium (-2) 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

\u2013High (-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

Final Score:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

7) The final score is<\/strong> the consequences of introduction score minus the post entry distribution and survey information score: Medium (12)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

There is some uncertainty regarding the potential for M. alternatus<\/em> to impact living trees.\u00a0 Such concerns, however, are based on the biology reported for other Monochamus<\/em> species, and may not apply to M. alternatus<\/em>.\u00a0 Maturation feeding by other Monochamus<\/em> species is reported to injure trees and make them susceptible to other pests (Ethington, 2015; Ross et al., 1991).\u00a0 Other Monochamus<\/em> species are also reported to lay eggs on living trees, although this often occurred during field experiments that involved attracting the beetles to trees with pheromones, so the conditions may not have been realistic.\u00a0 In addition, larval survival in such cases appears to be low, apparently because the living trees resisted the attacks with resin flow (Ethington, 2015; Ethington et al., 2015).\u00a0 Lastly, there is the possibility that M. alternatus<\/em> could bring other pests with it to California and transmit them to living trees during maturation feeding.\u00a0 For example, there is a native Asian species of Bursaphelenchus<\/em> that occurs in pines.\u00a0 This nematode could have a more significant impact on pines in North America if it became established here, similar to how the pine wood nematode is a serious problem in Asia but not in North America (where it is native) (Van Driesche et al., 2013).\u00a0 Any one of these (potential for adult or larval feeding to impact living trees and potential for carrying and vectoring nematodes or other plant pathogens not present in California) could increase the risk that M. alternatus<\/em> poses to California.<\/p>\n

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

Monochamus alternatus<\/em> is a wood-boring beetle that is not known to be present in California.\u00a0 The species belongs to a genus that is known to cause significant damage to timber.\u00a0 In addition, M. alternatus<\/em> vectors an important pine pest, pine wood nematode, and although this nematode is already present in California, this beetle could possibly carry with it other plant pathogens (including nematodes) not yet present in California.\u00a0 This beetle poses an economic and environmental threat to California.\u00a0 For these reasons, an \u201cA<\/strong>\u201d rating is justified.<\/p>\n
