<p>The European Commission requested <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EFSA</styled-content>
to conduct a pest categorisation of <italic>Toxoptera citricida</italic>
(Hemiptera: Aphididae), an oligophagous aphid developing and reproducing parthenogenetically on tender leaf and flower flush of citrus (Rutaceae). <italic>T. citricida</italic>
is a taxonomic entity with reliable methods available for detection and identification. It is regulated in the <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EU</styled-content>
by Council Directive 2000/29/<styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EC</styled-content>
where it is listed in Annex <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">IIAI</styled-content>
as a harmful organism whose introduction and spread into the <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EU</styled-content>
shall be banned. <italic>T. citricida</italic>
is native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia and has spread to most citrus‐growing areas worldwide, except California and the Mediterranean basin, causing significant damage to citrus as it is the most efficient vector of the <italic>Citrus tristeza virus</italic>
(<styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">CTV</styled-content>
). <italic>T. citricida</italic>
occurs in Madeira and, with a restricted distribution, in the north‐west of the Iberian Peninsula, mostly on backyard citrus trees. This may have hindered the effectiveness of the official control measures in these areas. There are further phytosanitary measures in place in the <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EU</styled-content>
in order to limit entry via traded commodities. Citrus plants for planting are regulated and are a closed pathway. However, there is uncertainty regarding host status of some non‐rutaceous plants on which this aphid has been recorded and so other plant genera may provide additional pathways. The <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EFSA</styled-content>
Plant Health Panel concludes that the establishment of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
in the main <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EU</styled-content>
citrus growing areas around the Mediterranean would have significant impacts because of its ability to vector <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">CTV</styled-content>

to assess the status as a potential Union quarantine pest (<styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">QP</styled-content>
), as a potential protected zone quarantine pest (<styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">PZQP</styled-content>
) or as a potential regulated non‐quarantine pest (<styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">RNQP</styled-content>
), <italic>T. citricida</italic>
meets with no uncertainties the criteria assessed by <styled-content style="fixed-case" toggle="no">EFSA</styled-content>

<title>Background</title>
<p>Council Directive 2000/29/EC<xref ref-type="fn" rid="efs25103-note-1006">1</xref>
on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community establishes the present European Union plant health regime. The Directive lays down the phytosanitary provisions and the control checks to be carried out at the place of origin on plants and plant products destined for the Union or to be moved within the Union. In the Directive's 2000/29/EC annexes, the list of harmful organisms (pests) whose introduction into or spread within the Union is prohibited, is detailed together with specific requirements for import or internal movement.</p>
<p>Following the evaluation of the plant health regime, the new basic plant health law, Regulation (EU) 2016/2031<xref ref-type="fn" rid="efs25103-note-1007">2</xref>
on protective measures against pests of plants, was adopted on 26 October 2016 and will apply from 14 December 2019 onwards, repealing Directive 2000/29/EC. In line with the principles of the above mentioned legislation and the follow‐up work of the secondary legislation for the listing of EU regulated pests, EFSA is requested to provide pest categorizations of the harmful organisms included in the annexes of Directive 2000/29/EC, in the cases where recent pest risk assessment/ pest categorisation is not available.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="efs25103-sec-0005"><label>1.1.2</label>
<title>Terms of Reference</title>
<p>EFSA is requested, pursuant to Article 22(5.b) and Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002,<xref ref-type="fn" rid="efs25103-note-1008">3</xref>
to provide scientific opinion in the field of plant health.</p>
<p>EFSA is requested to prepare and deliver a pest categorisation (step 1 analysis) for each of the regulated pests included in the appendices of the annex to this mandate. The methodology and template of pest categorisation have already been developed in past mandates for the organisms listed in Annex II Part A Section II of Directive 2000/29/EC. The same methodology and outcome is expected for this work as well.</p>
<p>The list of the harmful organisms included in the annex to this mandate comprises 133 harmful organisms or groups. A pest categorisation is expected for these 133 pests or groups and the delivery of the work would be stepwise at regular intervals through the year as detailed below. First priority covers the harmful organisms included in Appendix 1, comprising pests from Annex II Part A Section I and Annex II Part B of Directive 2000/29/EC. The delivery of all pest categorisations for the pests included in Appendix 1 is June 2018. The second priority is the pests included in Appendix 2, comprising the group of <italic>Cicadellidae</italic>
(non‐EU) known to be vector of Pierce's disease (caused by <italic>Xylella fastidiosa</italic>
), the group of <italic>Tephritidae</italic>
(non‐EU), the group of potato viruses and virus‐like organisms, the group of viruses and virus‐like organisms of <italic>Cydonia</italic>
Mill., <italic>Fragaria</italic>
L., <italic>Malus</italic>
Mill., <italic>Prunus</italic>
L., <italic>Pyrus</italic>
L., <italic>Ribes</italic>
L., <italic>Rubus</italic>
L. and <italic>Vitis</italic>
L.. and the group of <italic>Margarodes</italic>
(non‐EU species). The delivery of all pest categorisations for the pests included in Appendix 2 is end 2019. The pests included in Appendix 3 cover pests of Annex I part A section I and all pests categorisations should be delivered by end 2020.</p>
<p>For the above mentioned groups, each covering a large number of pests, the pest categorisation will be performed for the group and not the individual harmful organisms listed under “such as” notation in the Annexes of the Directive 2000/29/EC. The criteria to be taken particularly under consideration for these cases, is the analysis of host pest combination, investigation of pathways, the damages occurring and the relevant impact.</p>
<p>Finally, as indicated in the text above, all references to ‘non‐European’ should be avoided and replaced by ‘non‐EU’ and refer to all territories with exception of the Union territories as defined in Article 1 point 3 of Regulation (EU) 2016/2031.</p>

<title>Interpretation of the Terms of Reference</title>
<p><italic>Toxoptera citricida</italic>
is one of a number of pests listed in the Appendices to the Terms of Reference (ToR) to be subject to pest categorisation to determine whether it fulfils the criteria of a quarantine pest (QP) or those of a regulated non‐quarantine pest (RNQP) for the area of the EU excluding Ceuta, Melilla and the outermost regions of Member States (MSs) referred to in Article 355(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), other than Madeira and the Azores.</p>

<title>Literature search</title>
<p>A literature search on <italic>T. citricida</italic>
was conducted at the beginning of the categorisation in the ISI Web of Science bibliographic database, using the scientific name of the pest as search term. Relevant papers were reviewed, and further references and information were obtained from experts, from citations within the references and grey literature.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="efs25103-sec-0013"><label>2.1.2</label>
<title>Database search</title>
<p>Pest information, on host(s) and distribution, was retrieved from the EPPO Global Database (EPPO, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0005" ref-type="ref">2017</xref>
).</p>
<p>Data about the import of commodity types that could potentially provide a pathway for the pest to enter the EU and about the area of hosts grown in the EU were obtained from EUROSTAT.</p>
<p>The Europhyt database was consulted for pest‐specific notifications on interceptions and outbreaks. Europhyt is a web‐based network launched by the Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO), and is a subproject of PHYSAN (Phyto‐Sanitary Controls) specifically concerned with plant health information. The Europhyt database manages notifications of interceptions of plants or plant products that do not comply with EU legislation, as well as notifications of plant pests detected in the territory of the MSs and the phytosanitary measures taken to eradicate or avoid their spread.</p>

<title>Methodologies</title>
<p>The Panel performed the pest categorisation for <italic>T. citricida</italic>
, following guiding principles and steps presented in the EFSA guidance on the harmonised framework for pest risk assessment (EFSA PLH Panel, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0003" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
) and as defined in the International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No 11 (FAO, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0007" ref-type="ref">2013</xref>
) and No 21 (FAO, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0006" ref-type="ref">2004</xref>
).</p>
<p>In accordance with the guidance on a harmonised framework for pest risk assessment in the EU (EFSA PLH Panel, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0003" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
), this work was initiated following an evaluation of the EU's plant health regime. Therefore, to facilitate the decision‐making process, in the conclusions of the pest categorisation, the Panel addresses explicitly each criterion for a Union QP and for a Union RNQP in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 on protective measures against pests of plants, and includes additional information required as per the specific ToRs received by the European Commission. In addition, for each conclusion, the Panel provides a short description of its associated uncertainty.</p>
<p>Table <xref rid="efs25103-tbl-0001" ref-type="table">1</xref>
presents the Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 pest categorisation criteria on which the Panel bases its conclusions. All relevant criteria have to be met for the pest to potentially qualify either as a QP or as a RNQP. If one of the criteria is not met, the pest will not qualify. A pest that does not qualify as a quarantine pest may still qualify as a RNQP which needs to be addressed in the opinion. For the pests regulated in the protected zones only, the scope of the categorisation is the territory of the protected zone, thus the criteria refer to the protected zone instead of the EU territory.</p>
<p>It should be noted that the Panel's conclusions are formulated respecting its remit and particularly with regard to the principle of separation between risk assessment and risk management (EFSA founding regulation (EU) No 178/2002); therefore, instead of determining whether the pest is likely to have an unacceptable impact, the Panel will present a summary of the observed pest impacts. Economic impacts are expressed in terms of yield and quality losses and not in monetary terms, while addressing social impacts is outside the remit of the Panel, in agreement with EFSA guidance on a harmonised framework for pest risk assessment (EFSA PLH Panel, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0003" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>

<p>The Panel will not indicate in its conclusions of the pest categorisation whether to continue the risk assessment process, but, following the agreed two‐step approach, will continue only if requested by the risk managers. However, during the categorisation process, experts may identify key elements and knowledge gaps that could contribute significant uncertainty to a future assessment of risk. It would be useful to identify and highlight such gaps so that potential future requests can specifically target the major elements of uncertainty, perhaps suggesting specific scenarios to examine.</p>

<p>The black citrus aphid, <italic>T. citricida</italic>
(Kirkaldy, 1907) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), which had been previously known, among other names, as <italic>Aphis citricidus</italic>
,<italic> Aphis tavaresi</italic>
,<italic> Myzus citricidus</italic>
and <italic>Paratoxoptera argentiniensis</italic>
(Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
; CABI, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0001" ref-type="ref">2017</xref>
), is one of the more than 25 aphid species recorded from citrus worldwide (Hermoso de Mendoza, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0010" ref-type="ref">1994</xref>
). Although the genus name, <italic>Toxoptera</italic>
Koch, is feminine, the feminine/masculine genus/species combination <italic>Toxoptera citricidus</italic>
has been widely used in the literature (CABI, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0001" ref-type="ref">2017</xref>
). In the EU, <italic>T. citricida</italic>
can be found in Madeira and the Northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, where the pest was detected in 1994 and 2002, respectively (Fernandes and de Cruz Boelpaepe, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0008" ref-type="ref">1994</xref>
; Ilharco et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>
). All aphid species occurring in citrus in the EU (nine species in total) can be distinguished using available taxonomic keys for adult aphids both wingless (apterae) and winged forms (alatae) (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
; Ilharco et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>
; Uygun et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="efs25103-sec-0019"><label>3.1.2</label>
<title>Biology of the pest</title>
<p><italic>Toxoptera citricida</italic>
lives almost exclusively on plants of the family Rutaceae, especially on <italic>Citrus</italic>
spp. (Uygun et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>
). This aphid feeds on expanding tender shoots, leaves and flower buds of citrus plants, which remain suitable for its growth and reproduction for a period of 3–4 weeks (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
). Although <italic>T. citricida</italic>
has been sporadically reported on different plants (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
; see Appendix <xref rid="efs25103-sec-0049" ref-type="sec">A</xref>
), their host status is uncertain. This is due to the fact that parthenogenetically reproducing aphids, such as <italic>T. citricida</italic>
, are born with the embryos of their granddaughters. Therefore, without specific assays aimed at proving the suitability of these plants to sustain reproducing populations of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
, the host status of these plants cannot be proven. In the infested areas of the EU, it has been mostly found on lemons (Ilharco et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>
) although this may simply reflect the most abundant <italic>Citrus</italic>
species grown in the north‐west of the Iberian Peninsula, where no commercial citrus orchards exist. Except for isolated cases in Japan, this species is always anholocyclic (= parthenogenetic reproduction throughout the year) (Uygun et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>
) with wingless (apterae) colonies producing winged forms (alatae) as the feeding substrate either deteriorates or becomes unsuitable (=mature) for aphid development. Therefore, colonies have a relatively narrow time window within which to mature and disperse prior to the demise of its food resource (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
). In an outdoor experiment in Argentina, daily fecundity of adult apterae ranged from 5 to 6 nymphs per female per day, and total fecundities between 73 and 81 nymphs (Galatoire, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0009" ref-type="ref">1983</xref>
). In the laboratory, Komazaki (<xref rid="efs25103-bib-0013" ref-type="ref">1982</xref>
) determined that the maximum intrinsic rate of increase for <italic>T. citricida</italic>
occurs at 27°C, although the fecundity and net reproductive rate of individual apterae was maximal at 21.5°C. Because cool winters and hot summers limit the aphid's ability to survive and reproduce, <italic>T. citricida</italic>
populations usually peak twice per year in subtropical regions, in spring and autumn (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
; Qureshi, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0016" ref-type="ref">2010</xref>
). Taking advantage of thermal updrafts and tropical storms, winged forms can be carried long distances (hundreds of kilometres). However, human‐assisted dispersal most likely plays a key role in the spread of this aphid (e.g. by movements of infested hosts plants for planting). Furthermore, most colonies survive within the same orchard at low densities on asynchronous citrus leaf flush and root sprouts until a new flush cycle provides sufficient food for a population outbreak (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
). This aphid is considered the most efficient vector of <italic>Citrus tristeza virus</italic>
(CTV), which is transmitted in a semi‐persistent mode in which the virus is acquired and transmitted by aphids with feeding times ranging from several minutes to several hours, but usually not by brief probing (Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
). It can also transmit the <italic>Citrus vein enation virus</italic>

<p><italic>Toxoptera citricida</italic>
can be detected by periodic visual inspection of new shoot growth of citrus. In addition, winged forms can be monitored by yellow traps or suction traps (EPPO, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0004" ref-type="ref">2006</xref>

<p>Diagnostic characters<italic>: T. citricida</italic>
adult apterae (1.5–2.8 mm in length) are dark, same as the closely related species <italic>Toxoptera aurantii</italic>
(Boyer de Fonscolombe), which also occurs in the EU in citrus. However, their antennae do not present the white and black bands seen in <italic>T. aurantii</italic>
apterous forms. Adult alatae (1.1–2.6 mm in length) can be separated from co‐occurring winged aphids in citrus by the presence of a pale pterostigma in their forewings, which also present a twice branched media vein. Remarkably, the antennal segment III of these alatae is dark and contrasts with segment IV, which is partially pale (Uygun et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>

<p>Current EU legislation prohibits the import of plants of <italic>Citrus</italic>

Swingle, <italic>Poncirus</italic>
Raf., and their hybrids, other than fruit and seeds from third countries. Therefore, this pathway can be considered as closed. The relevance of the second pathway is highly uncertain because of lack of sound data supporting the host status of these plants (CABI, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0001" ref-type="ref">2017</xref>
). As <italic>T. citricida</italic>
is already present in the EU (widespread in Madeira and restricted distribution in northern Portugal and northwestern Spain), the aphid could naturally disperse either actively by flying (adult winged females) or passively by air currents and storms (both Alatae and Apterae).</p>
<p>There are no records of interception of <italic>T. citricida</italic>

</boxed-text>
</p>
<p>Because <italic>T. citricida</italic>
is parthenogenetic, its population threshold for establishment (Allee threshold) is extremely low, as for many aphids. In principle, one single female can start a new colony if it finds a host plant. The more abundant the host plants, the more likely this phenomenon.</p>

<title>Climatic conditions affecting establishment</title>
<p>The life cycle of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
is linked to the phenology of plants belonging to the genus <italic>Citrus</italic>
(Michaud, <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0014" ref-type="ref">1998</xref>
; Uygun et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>
). <italic>T. citricida</italic>
can be found in almost all citrus‐growing regions worldwide except California and the Mediterranean. It can occur in areas with climates similar to those prevailing in the Mediterranean basin, e.g. <italic>Citrus</italic>
‐producing regions of South Africa and Western Australia. Climatic conditions in the Mediterranean basin, especially in the regions with commercial <italic>Citrus</italic>
production, are likely to be conducive for the establishment of this aphid.</p>

<title>Spread</title>
<p><boxed-text position="anchor" content-type="box" id="efs25103-blkfxd-1006" orientation="portrait"><p><italic>Is the pest able to spread within the EU territory following establishment? (Yes or No) How?</italic>
</p>
<p>Yes, the pest has indeed spread through the NW of the Iberian Peninsula.</p>
<p><italic>RNQPs: Is spread mainly via specific plants for planting, rather than via natural spread or via movement of plant products or other objects?</italic>
</p>
<p>Although man‐assisted dispersal via plants for planting is most likely the main dispersal mechanism of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
, winged adult females can naturally disperse by themselves and both winged and wingless forms can be passively dispersed by thermal updraft currents and storms.</p>
</boxed-text>
</p>
<p><italic>T. citricida</italic>
spread from the initial foci found in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula in 2002 (Asturias) towards the south‐west, reaching the Região Centro of Portugal (about 500 km along the Atlantic coast), and eastwards for about 300 km, reaching the Basque Country in 5 years (Ilharco et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0012" ref-type="ref">2005</xref>
; Hermoso de Mendoza et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0011" ref-type="ref">2008</xref>
). Whether this dispersal has been active (alatae can fly), passive (human‐assisted, air currents), or a combination of both is an open question. From Figure <xref rid="efs25103-fig-0002" ref-type="fig">2</xref>
, it seems very likely that the pest is going to colonise the 20,000 ha of citrus plantations in Portugal, from which it can colonise the 300,000 ha citrus‐growing areas in Spain.</p>

<title>Impacts</title>
<p><italic>Sources: impact reports and other literature</italic>
<boxed-text position="anchor" content-type="box" id="efs25103-blkfxd-1007" orientation="portrait"><p><italic>Would the pests’ introduction have an economic or environmental impact on the EU territory?</italic>
</p>
<p>Yes, the pest would most likely have an impact especially in the citrus growing areas of the EU because this aphid vectors CTV.</p>
<p><italic>RNQPs: Does the presence of the pest on plants for planting have an economic impact, as regards the intended use of those plants for planting?</italic>
<xref ref-type="fn" rid="efs25103-note-1009">4</xref>
</p>
<p>Yes, especially because this aphid vectors CTV, an important viral disease of citrus.</p>
</boxed-text>
</p>
<p>Economic importance</p>
<p>The feeding of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
on leaves and twigs can result in their deformation (leaf and twig rolling). In the case of flowers, it can cause a considerable blossom drop. Sooty mould can develop on the honeydew produced by the aphids when feeding, which may affect any plant organ, including fruit and causing direct damage. In addition, honeydew attracts ants, which may interfere with the activity of many aphid natural enemies. However, the main impact of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
on citrus is due to its capacity to vector several viruses, mostly CTV, including some very aggressive CTV strains injurious even when using CTV‐tolerant rootstocks. The arrival of <italic>T. citricida</italic>
into the Mediterranean basin, where most of EU citrus production is located (Table <xref rid="efs25103-tbl-0005" ref-type="table">5</xref>
), would represent a risk to the EU citrus industry, especially where trees are not grafted on tolerant rootstocks (Hermoso de Mendoza et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0011" ref-type="ref">2008</xref>
; Uygun et al., <xref rid="efs25103-bib-0017" ref-type="ref">2012</xref>

<p>Availability and limits of mitigation measures
<boxed-text position="anchor" content-type="box" id="efs25103-blkfxd-1008" orientation="portrait"><p><italic>Are there measures available to prevent the entry into, establishment within or spread of the pest within the EU such that the risk becomes mitigated?</italic>
</p>
<p>Yes, prohibition of movement of plant material from infested zones may delay spread within the EU.</p>
<p><italic>RNQPs: Are there measures available to prevent pest presence on plants for planting such that the risk becomes mitigated?</italic>
</p>
<p>Yes, production of nursery plants under physical isolation (screened houses) and application of chemical control can greatly reduce the risks associated to the movement of infested plants for planting.</p>

<list-item><p>The efficacy of the official control measures against this pest, including surveillance, eradication and certification of citrus plants for planting. Almost no commercial citrus orchards exist in the infested areas of the northwestern of the Iberian Peninsula and citrus in these areas are mostly isolated backyard trees (mainly lemons).
