Rev. 03 March 4, 2010 2 

## 1. Introduction

1.1. Background

This pest list was prepared by the Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laborat ory of the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine, Center for Plant Health Science and Technology. Our purpose in creating this pest list was to examine pest risks associated wit h the importation of sweet lime, Citrus limetta Risso, as commercially produced fresh fruit for consumption, from Mexico into the continental United States.

This pest list includes pests reported on citrus (in any country) and present in Mexico (on any host) (Table 1). We identified the presence or absence of these pests in the United States, the quarantine status of the pest with respect to the United States, the generally affected plant part or parts, if the pest is likely to follow the pathway and ent er the United States on commercially produced exported sweet limes, and pertinent citations for either the distribution or the biology of the pest. We shaded rows with quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway ( Table 1 ), and summarized these pests in a separate table (Table 2). Quarantine pests not included can be detrimental to U.S. agriculture or ecosystems, but were not subjected to further analysis for a variety of reasons. For example, they were associated mainly with plant parts other than the com modity; may be associated with the commodity, but would not reasonably remain with the commodity during harvest and packing; or have been intercepted as biological contaminants of this commodity during U.S. agricultural port of entry inspection, but would not be present in commercial shipments.



### 1.2. Notes on Pest List

Pests listed with limited distribution in the United States are considered quarantine significant pests if under official control by the state or federal government. All quarantine pests wit h limited distribution in Table 1 are under official control unless otherwise specified.

We determined whether or not quarantine pests were likely to follow the pathway with sweet limes from
Mexico. We assum ed that the fruit shipments will be limited to commercially produced fruit, which will undergo post

- harvest culling with grading, washing, and waxing prior to shipment, which removes some surface pests.

Pests identified only to genus or higher taxa would only be analyzed, in some cases, if the genus i s not present in the United States. Genera can contain many species and analyzing an entire genus that may contain many non

- pest species is unrealistic. Sometimes intercepted pests are not identified to the species
level because the current taxonomic knowl edge is limited, the pest is too immature, or the specimen is in poor condition. Pest risk assessments focus on organisms for which biological information is available. An intercepted pest (not identified to the species level) may or may not be a quarantin e pest. If pests identified only to higher taxa are intercepted in the future, we may re

- evaluate their risk.

We did not include Amerosporium concinnum Petr. ( Ascomycetes, Incertae sedis ) in the pest list below,
because the only evidence that it is present in Mexico is a single interception on the inflorescence of a
Citrus sp. (Farr and Rossman, 2009). W e found no additional evidence that this pest occurs in Mexico or
the United States.

Likewise, we did not include Coni othyrium pax

- augustanum Urries y Azara ( Ascomycetes: Pleosporales ) (Farr and Rossman, 2009) in the pest list for the same reason. It is associated with fruit of C. aurantifoliaPest List for Sweet Limes from Mexico

Rev. 03 March 4, 2010 3 (Farr and Rossman, 2009) , and is not present in the United States. Thus, i f we find additional information indicating it is present in Mexico , it will likely become a quarantine pest following the pathway.

13 Diaphorina citri typically feeds on leaves, specifically on flushes of new growth, and not on fruit. When disturbed, say by workers harvesting fruit, adult psyllids typically jump off the plant, thus they are less likely to be associated with harvested fruit. Commercially produced fruit shipments would be processed using post

- harvest measures which include some combination of washing, rinsing, brushing, waxing, and drying that would likely remove or kill any psyllids associated with fruit, rendering them unlikely to be abl e to transmit HLB.
