Update on Dryocosmus kuriphilus in Czechia

In 2012, the Czech Republic reported its first detection of Dryocosmus kuriphilus. The infestation originated from three plants totaling 50 potentially infested specimens. These plants were distributed across several regions, including Central Bohemia, Hradec Králové, Pardubice, and Plze?. Most of the infested plants were successfully traced and destroyed, with no exit holes observed in the galls, indicating no adult emergence. However, two plants sold to private individuals could not be located. The pest is currently classified as “present: transient” and remains under official eradication efforts in accordance with EU phytosanitary regulations.
