× Likelihood For "Pest is Introduced" the lowest value of Entry or Establishment, as both are required for a successful introduction. For "Pest Spreads to Maximum Extent" this is an expert judgement on the likelihood of this occurrence. See Guidance Document for more Information Close Likelihood [1 - 5]			3
× Spread The rate at which a pest can expand, by natural dispersal only, within an area. See Guidance Document for more Information Close Spread [1 - 5]		2
× Impact The highest value from economic, environmental or social impacts. See Guidance Document for more Information Close Impact [1 - 5]			3
× Value at Risk The value of the hosts or industries at risk from this pest in the UK. See Guidance Document for more Information Close Value at Risk [1 - 5]					5
× Likelihood x Impact The likelihood multiplied by the impact, which shows the risk to the sector. See Guidance Document for more Information Close Likelihood x Impact [1 - 25]	9

PRA Availability

EPPO (2018) as Massicus raddei

Regulated quarantine pest (Northern Ireland as Massicus raddei). EPPO A1

Action

Statutory action against interceptions and outbreaks.

General Comments

Longhorn beetle affecting mainly oak species in North-East Asia, with the potential to be introduced to the UK via trees for planting (including bonsais) or firewood. Host susceptibility of European species of oak and sweet chestnut should continue to be monitored through existing sentinel trees projects.

Key uncertainty for pest
