× 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]	1
× Impact The highest value from economic, environmental or social impacts. See Guidance Document for more Information Close Impact [1 - 5]	1
× 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]	1
× 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]	3

Regulated non quarantine pest (Northern Ireland)

Action

Statutory action in line with legislation in Northern Ireland. No statutory action in Great Britain.

General Comments

Asymptomatic virus of apricot first discovered on apricots in Eastern Europe, shown to exhibit symptoms on experimental hosts within the genus Prunus. No observable symptoms on its natural host of apricot.

Key uncertainty for pest

Absence of vector, other Foveavirus species can be spread via pollen beetles, there is the possibility this interaction has not been observed yet.
