Written by plant pest and disease experts, our pest and disease alerts provide key facts on selected quarantine (notifiable) and non-quarantine (non-notifiable) pests and diseases of particular importance to the UK.

We are aware that the plant health portal contains hundreds of PDF documents. We are currently reviewing and revising our documents to make them more accessible. If you want a particular document in an accessible format please email plantpestsrisks@defra.gov.uk

This section provides publicity material for certain pests, but does not cover all notifiable and other pests included in regulations or on the risk register.

Please see the reporting a pest and disease webpage for the most up-to-date contact details for the UK Plant Health Services.
