“…Globally, more than 1000 pests and diseases are recommended for regulation [36]. Phytosanitary principles for the protection of plants, including the principle of managing risk through risk analysis, are described in international standards [37], but these presume a rational scientific approach to disease control which is not readily apparent in practice.…”

“…To help cope with such threats, policies have been developed at international, national and regional levels. Whereas national and regional policies aim to prevent the introduction and spread of pathogens into and within a country, thereby protecting national industries including their export activities, international policies are designed to prevent the distribution of pathogens among participating countries [36,71].…”

Plant diseases threaten both food security and the botanical diversity of natural ecosystems. Substantial research effort is focused on pathogen detection and control, with detailed risk management available for many plant diseases. Risk can be assessed using analytical techniques that account for disease pressure both spatially and temporally. We suggest that such technical assessments of disease risk may not provide an adequate guide to the strategies undertaken by growers and government to manage plant disease. Instead, risk-management strategies need to account more fully for intuitive and normative responses that act to balance conflicting interests between stakeholder organizations concerned with plant diseases within the managed and natural environments. Modes of effective engagement between policy makers and stakeholders are explored in the paper, together with an assessment of such engagement in two case studies of contemporary non-indigenous diseases in one food and in one non-food sector. Finally, a model is proposed for greater integration of stakeholders in policy decisions.

“…Both species are regulated pests in New Zealand, associated with bark and potentially with lumber. Despite being native of Tasmania and Victoria, both in Australia, these species are considered as pests only in Tasmania (MacLeod, 2007). They occur naturally in many Eucalyptus species, including some with high economical interest in Brazil, such as E. globulus, E. camaldulensis, C. citriodora, E. grandis, and E. viminalis.…”

“…These disturbances may be considered integrating knowledge regarding pathogens and pests for the current debates over food security and climate changes (Butterworth et al, 2010). More recently, there have been reports of greater impacts of pests and plant diseases on ecosystem services, either directly, through the destruction of service providers, or indirectly, as a consequence of their management, for example (Cheatham et al, 2009;MacLeod et al, 2010).…”

-Special attention should be given to forest plantings in order to minimize the probability of exotic pest introduction and, consequently, of production losses. The objective of this review was to present, under a historic perspective, the main exotic insects that harm the Brazilian forest sector. Therefore, to better describe the phytosanitary context of introduced forest pests in Brazil, the main information regarding these insects was gathered here. Introduced species and species with a risk of introduction were listed. The following species were registered: 12 exotic introduced species related to eucalyptus, non-quarantine; 9 species related to pine, one quarantine; and 1 species related to teak, quarantine. Overall, the core problems for 57 pest species were addressed, followed by projections on current risks and priorities. Biological control programs and their respective agents were also mentioned. For eucalyptus plantations, the species belonging to the genera Ophelimus and Leptocybe are priorities and should be emphasized. Regarding pine species, the main current concerns are Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (transmitted by species of Monochamus), Rhyacionia frustrana, and Dendroctonus frontalis. Better risk management requires reinforcement of phytosanitary inspections and constant refinement of contingency plans, whose actions include monitoring by visual sampling, employment of sentinel plants, and preventive breeding programs aiming at pest resistance.Index terms: exotic pest, forest pest, forest sector, invasive species, pest resistance, quarantine. Um artigo de revisão sobre pragas florestais introduzidas no BrasilResumo -Atenção especial deve ser dada a plantações florestais para minimizar a probabilidade de introdução de pragas exóticas e, consequentemente, as perdas de produção. O objetivo deste artigo de revisão foi apresentar, sob uma perspectiva histórica, os principais insetos exóticos que ameaçam o setor florestal brasileiro. Portanto, para melhor descrever o contexto fitossanitário das pragas florestais introduzidas no Brasil, foram compiladas as principais informações sobre esses insetos. Espécies introduzidas e aquelas com risco de introdução foram listadas. Foram contabilizadas: 12 pragas exóticas introduzidas, relacionadas a eucaliptos, sem status quarentenário; 9 espécies relacionadas ao pinus, uma quarentenária; e 1 espécie relacionada à teca, quarentenária. Ao todo, foram abordados os problemas centrais para 57 espécies, acompanhados de projeções sobre risco atual e prioridades. Programas de controle biológico e seus respectivos agentes também foram citados. Para os plantios de eucaliptos, as espécies pertencentes aos gêneros Ophelimus e Leptocybe são prioritárias e devem ser enfatizadas. Quanto às espécies de pinus, as maiores preocupações são Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (transmitida por espécies de Monochamus), Rhyacionia frustrana e Dendroctonus frontalis. Um melhor gerenciamento de risco requer reforço de inspeções fitossanitárias e constante refinamento dos planos de conting...
