The latest version - v6.0 of the ISTA PEST List includes 56 new scientific articles that support the addition of 21 new pests and the modification of 32 pest status.

Furthermore, added to the version are the EPPO codes, when existing, providing more precision on the pest identities. Importantly, the lists now contain information about regulated status of pests. For those that are regulated, links to the EPPO Global database and/or the name of countries requesting phytosanitary status for pests in seeds according to the Expadon database are now included.
 
We would like to extend special thanks to the Seed Health Committee members who have validated this revision!
