G/SPS/N/AUS/384

Description

The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources initiated this pest risk analysis to review the scientific basis for Australian emergency measures to manage Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) seed-borne host seeds for sowing, including Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo, Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita moschata, Cucurbita pepo, Lagenaria siceraria, Trichosanthes cucumerina and any hybrid of these species. This pest risk analysis proposes that the emergency measures become the standard import conditions for CGMMV host seeds.
