IPPC Monthly Pest Reporting Summary – August 2025

Pest reporting is a key component of the National Reporting Obligations (NROs) under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). Prompt and transparent sharing of pest information helps prevent the introduction and spread of quarantine pests worldwide. Many countries meet these obligations through the International Phytosanitary Portal (IPP) and others through national or regional web-based systems. If your country uses such a system, we encourage you to inform the IPPC Secretariat. Get in touch today to ensure your country’s reporting system strengthens global plant health.

Key Pest Reports for August 2025

Other pest reports were also included in the European Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) Reporting Service for August 2025, which provided official and scientific updates on several pests of first report, including Selenothrips rubrocinctus (family Thripidae), Austropuccinia psidii (family Sphaerophragmiaceae), Aphelenchoides besseyi (family Aphelenchoididae), Meloidogyne enterolobii (family Meloidogynidae), Amaranthus tuberculatus (family Amaranthaceae), Phacelia tanacetifolia (family Boraginaceae), and Eleocharis caduca (family Cyperaceae).

*Pest Alerts and Emerging Pests

The IPPC’s Pest Outbreak and Alert Response System (POARS) includes pest alerts and information about emerging pest threats. For more details, visit: Pest Outbreak Alert and Response System (POARS) - International Plant Protection Convention

Enhancing pest reporting collaboration

Individual efforts by each country collectively drive the actions needed to safeguard global plant health. We encourage NPPOs to continue their reporting efforts through the IPP by logging in as Official Contant Point (OCP), navigating to the country page dashboard, providing the necessary information, and submitting the pest report.

If your NPPO uses a different platform or national system to report pest outbreaks, please inform the IPPC Secretariat by writing to [email protected] and copying [email protected].
