Summary
The Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia (DAFWA) has prepared this draft pest categorisation as the first step in the policy review of washed ware potatoes imported into Western Australia from other states and territories. The purpose of the pest categorisation is to determine what quarantine pests are potentially associated with the washed ware potato pathway.
Washed ware potatoes from interstate are currently permitted entry into Western Australia under strict quarantine conditions for specific pests and diseases. This policy has been in place for many years and is being reviewed to ensure it provides an appropriate level of protection for the state.
The policy review is being undertaken via a pest risk analysis (PRA) process. A PRA is one mechanism by which DAFWA’s Plant Biosecurity Policy Group determines the biosecurity risks associated with commodities imported from other Australian states and territories, and provides scientific justification for any recommended phytosanitary measures. Any recommended phytosanitary measures are required to be compliant with international and national agreements.
The draft pest categorisation (this document) identifies invertebrate and pathogen pests that are:
associated with the washed ware potato pathway,
absent from Western Australia,
have the potential to establish in Western Australia, and
be of economic concern should they establish in Western Australia.
This report has assessed 430 candidate organisms potentially associated with commercial and non-commercial potato production in Australia (Table 1). Of these candidate organisms, 6 invertebrates and 31 pathogens (Table 2) were identified as pests of quarantine concern associated with the washed ware potato pathway that satisfy the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) definition of a quarantine pest:
‘A pest of potential economic importance to the area endangered thereby and not yet present there, or present but not widely distributed and being officially controlled’ (ISPM 5 2016).
At the conclusion of the consultation period for this draft pest categorisation, DAFWA will consider stakeholder submissions and incorporate relevant information into the draft policy review.
The quarantine pests identified in the pest categorisation will undergo further assessment in the draft policy review to:
determine the unrestricted risk of entry, establishment and spread of the pests in Western Australia, and
determine the extent where necessary of any phytosanitary measures required to provide an appropriate level of protection for Western Australia.

Methodology
Introduction
Candidate organisms are pests2 that are identified as possible candidates for phytosanitary measures in association with a pathway. The pest categorisation of candidate organisms (this document) is the first step in the process for the policy review of washed ware potatoes imported into Western Australia from other states and territories. The categorisation process examines whether a pest satisfies the criteria of a quarantine pest.
The identification of quarantine pests potentially associated with washed ware potatoes in other states and territories is done in accordance with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) 2 Framework for pest risk analysis (2016) and ISPM 11 Pest risk analysis of quarantine pests (2016).The methodology outlined in this document also aligns with current Commonwealth methodology for plant based pest risk analyses.
The internationally accepted criterion of a quarantine pest has been defined by the International Plant Protection Convention as:
‘a pest of potential economic importance to the area endangered thereby and not yet present there, or present but not widely distributed and being officially controlled’ (ISPM 5 2016), where:
area is defined as an ‘officially defined country, part of a country or all or parts of several countries’ (ISPM 5 2016),
potential economic importance is determined by ‘clear indications that the pest is likely to have an unacceptable economic impact (including environmental impact) in the PRA area’ (ISPM 11 2016), and
endangered area is defined as ‘an area where ecological factors favour the establishment of a pest whose presence in the area will result in economically important loss’ (ISPM 5 2016).
The categorisation of candidate organisms also establishes their association with the washed ware potato pathway.
The quarantine pests identified in the pest categorisation will be assessed in the policy review to determine:
the unrestricted risk of entry, establishment and spread of the pest into Western Australia, and
the extent where necessary, of any phytosanitary measures required to provide an appropriate level of protection for Western Australia.
Determining an organisms quarantine pest status
Association with potato production in Australia
A list of candidate organisms associated with commercial and non-commercial potato production was compiled based on information obtained from:
a review of Commonwealth, state, scientific, industry and other literature
a review of relevant internet sources
2 Pest: Any species, strain or biotype of plant, animal or pathogenic agent injurious to plants or plant products (ISPM 5 2016).

a review of invertebrate and pathogen specimens residing in collections within Australia
expert consultation.
The candidate organism list details:
the current accepted name where possible
a substantiating reference indicating a potential association with commercial or non-commercial potato production
a substantiating reference establishing presence or absence in Western Australia. - If a candidate organism is found to be present in Western Australia, and is not
under official control, then it does not satisfy the criteria of a quarantine pest and further evaluation is not required.
- Where a candidate organism’s presence in Western Australia cannot be substantiated, then it may satisfy the criteria of a quarantine pest and is evaluated further.
The list of candidate organisms associated with commercial and non-commercial potato production in Australia is presented in Table 3 for invertebrates and Table 5 for pathogens.
Association with the washed ware potato pathway
A candidate organism’s association with the washed ware potato pathway is evaluated in Table 4 for invertebrates and Table 6 for pathogens. The evaluation includes a statement to substantiate the association.
Any candidate organism is absent from Western Australia and found to be associated with the washed ware potato pathway are assessed further for their potential to establish and spread, and have an unacceptable economic consequence (including environmental impact) in Western Australia.
Any candidate organisms evaluated as not having a credible pathway association are not considered further in the pest categorisation process. In some instances a candidate organism are not considered as having a pathway association if the reference is considered unreliable such as being is old with no recent records, or where only single pathway associated records were found.
In the absence of sufficient information, uncertainties are identified and the process continues (ISPM 11 2016) to assess the organisms potential to establish, spread and be of economic concern in Western Australia.
Potential to establish and spread in Western Australia
A candidate organism’s potential to establish and spread within an endangered area of Western Australia is evaluated and presented in Table 4 for invertebrates and Table 6 for pathogens. An assumption is made that if a host plant is present in Western Australia then the potential exists for candidate organism to establish and spread. If the potential to establish and spread within endangered areas in Western Australia cannot be established, the candidate organism is not considered further.
Potential for economic consequences
A candidate organism’s potential economic consequence should it establish within an endangered area of Western Australia is evaluated and presented in Table 4 for invertebrates and Table 6 for pathogens. If the potential for economic consequences cannot be determined then the candidate organism does not meet the definition of a quarantine pest and is not considered further.

Final determination
A candidate organism that does not meet all of the criteria assessed in the pest categorisation phase is not considered a quarantine pest associated with the washed ware potato pathway. Candidate species meeting all criteria for a quarantine pest are eligible for further evaluation through the pest risk assessment process and are presented in Table 2.
Once the quarantine pest status has been validated for a candidate species they undergo pest risk assessment and comparison with the Appropriate Level of Protection (ALOP). For organisms with an unrestricted risk exceeding the ALOP, DAFWA proposes phytosanitary measures that are the least restrictive to trade. This work is undertaken in the pest risk analysis report.
Consultation
On 22 February 2016 the department notified stakeholders of the formal commencement of a policy review for washed ware potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) imported into Western Australia from other states and territories.
This draft pest categorisation provides stakeholders the opportunity for advance consideration of quarantine pests, prior to the formal release of the draft report, and draw attention to any scientific, technical, or other gaps in the data, misinterpretations and errors.
The department will consider submissions received and revise the draft policy review as appropriate. Stakeholders will then be provided an opportunity to provide comments to the draft policy review.

5 A WA isolate (APDD/DAR 65872a) of Ralstonia solanaearum was collected from Manjimup in 1967. This was isolated from a potato tuber with brown rot. The isolate was further assessed in 2008 by Dr Ric
Cother (New South Wales Department of Primary Industries) and was verified as possibly Pseudomonas solanacearum biotype II. Elphinstone (2005) asserts that previous incursions of biovar 2 (race 3) in South Australia and Western Australia have been eradicated.
6 Erwinia chrysanthemi is known to consist of several pathovars (Bull et al. 2010). Further investigation of the identity of cultures deposited as E. chrysanthemi in the Western Australian Culture Collection

9 Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria has recently been identified as a species complex comprising of four species (Bull et al. 2010; European Food Safety Authority 2014). However, only X. vesicatoria (syn. X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria nom. inv.) has been associated with Solanum tuberosum (Hayward & Waterston 1964). The occurrence of each of the four species in Australian states hasn’t been determined and therefore in this pest categorisation the complex is considered further.
10 Phytoplasmas are classified into groups and subgroups based on the 16S rDNA and other conserved gene regions and given the designation of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma' (IRPCM Phytoplasma/Spiroplasma Working Team–Phytoplasma taxonomy group 2004).
11 Numerous phytoplasma ‘species’ have been reported in association with ‘potato purple top disease’ overseas (Hosseini et al. 2011) as cited by DAFF (2013) and Santos-Cervantes et al. (2010). However, ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma aurantifolia’ [16SrII] strains causing potato purple top disease have not been reported from Australia (DAFF 2013).
12 “This pathogen is present in Australia, but is not known to infect potatoes (Liefting et al. 2009; Liefting et al. 2011) as cited by DAFF (2013).
13 There is anecdotal evidence that Phytoplasma TBB caused ‘purple top wilt of potato in some Australian states including; ACT (Commonwealth of Australia 1950), New South Wales (Conroy 1954), Queensland (Simmonds 1966), South Australia (Feddersen 1959), and Victoria (Anderson 1959; Washington & Nancarrow 1983). Candidatus Phytoplasma australasiae’ [16SrII - D] (TBB phytoplasma (Australian isolates)), has been assessed separately in the pest categorisation.

Five species of Verticillium are reported on potato, V. albo-atrum, V. dahliae, V. tricorpus, V. nubilum, and V. nonalfalfae (Inderbitzin et al. 2011). Of these V. albo-atrum, V. dahliae, and V. tricorpus are considered separately in this pest categorisation. V. nubilum and V. nonalfalfae are not known to occur in Australia and not included in this pest categorisation.
15 Verticillium dahliae VCG 1A Kleb., 1913, also known as the ‘defoliating strain’ infecting cotton, is declared as Prohibited (s. 12) under the BAM Act 2007.

Verticillium tricorpus has only ever been isolated once in Western Australia, from Dianthus caryophyllus in 1986 (Herb I.M.I. 2016). This isolate has not been retained in (WAC 2016a) and could not be validated.
17 Historically, Armillaria mellea has been reported as a pathogen of potato tubers in the Northern hemisphere and Australia (Simmonds 1966; Farr & Rossman 2016). Coetzee et al. (2000) states that the name A. mellea has been arbitrarily applied to all species of Armillaria causing Armillaria root disease. Five species in A. mellea sensu lato are known in Australia; A. fumosa, A. hinnulea, A. novae-zelandiae, A. pallidula and A. luteobubalina (Coetzee et al. 2001). Of these only A. luteobubalina has been reported in association with potatoes (APPD 2016), and has been assessed separately in the pest categorisation.
18 Research into the geographical distribution of Armillaria species has shown that A. mellea is a Northern Hemisphere fungus and that Armillaria species found in Australia are molecularly distinct from A. mellea (Coetzee et al. 2001; Coetzee 2003).

30 Fusarium sambucinum Fuckel, 1870 has been split into three species, F. sambucinium var. sambucinum 1870, F. torulosum and F. venenatum, of which F. venatum is not known to occur in Australia (Summerell et al. 2011b). The other two species are considered separately in this pest categorisation.

Fusarium solani is currently recognised as a large complex of speices comprised of about 50 phylogenetic species or 10 biological species (Summerell et al. 2011a; Costa et al. 2016). As Australian records of F. solani associated with potatoes are only reported at the species level, F. solani has been considered as a ‘species complex’ in this pest categorisation and includes F. coeruleum (synonym F. solani var. coeruleum) as listed by DAFF (2013).

Salas and Secor (2001) note Pythium debaryanum as a synonym of P. ultimum var. ultimum. Standard taxonomic searches do not suggest these are synonymous, and hence P. ultimum var. ulitmum is assessed separately in this pest categorisation under its’ current scientific name, Globisporangium ultimum. This approach is consistent with that taken by DAFF (2013). 40
A single record of an unidentified Chaetomium species associated with potato in Australia was found (APPD 2016). In Australia, only Chaetomium globosum has been associated with potatoes (APPD 2016; Farr & Rossman 2016; Herb I.M.I. 2016). Other Chaetomium species that have been reported in association with potatoes overseas include; C. trilaterale, C. aureum and C. torulosum (Cook 1954), and Somani (2004) reported C nigricolor as a cause of potato tuber rot in India. With the exception of C. trilaterale, the overseas species have not been reported from Australia and they are not considered in this pest categorisation.

Rosellinia species have been reported as a common storage rot of tubers post-harvest in Serbia (Milošević 2004). An unidentified Rosellinia species has been isolated from potato root in Queensland (APPD 2016). Rosellinia necatrix is the only species reported in association with potatoes (Nattrass 1927; Farr & Rossman 2016) and has been assessed separately in this pest categorisation.
44.Records of Paralongidorus sacchari and an unidentified Paralongidorus species have been reported on potato in Queensland (Nobbs 2005). Extensive literature searches did not find any other Paralongidorus species to be associated with disease of potatoes. As P. sacchari is assessed separately in this pest categorisation, further assessment of the unidentified Paralongidorus species was not considered necessary.

DAFF (2013) states “Ditylenchus destructor was reported as present in Australia in 1958 on the basis of misidentifications. It is now not considered to be present in Australia.” Reported records of D. destructor in Australia are now considered incorrect (Hodda & Nobbs 2008; ABRS 2009).
46McLeod et al. (1994) indicates that Ditylenchus dipsaci was detected on potato in Western Australia; however as no specimen was kept this record is considered invalid/unreliable (V Vanstone 2010, pers. comm. 2 June). Biological races of D. dipsaci are described based on their host plant preferences (Esquibet et al. 2003 cited in DAFF 2013, p. 75). That said, some populations have been found to be polyphagous and others quite host specific (Sturhan & Brzeski 1991). Ditylenchus dipsaci has been reported on alternative hosts in New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria (ABRS 2009).

50Inserra et al. (2005) consider Pratylenchus jordanensis to be a ‘junior synonym’ of P. zeae. As this work was based on morphological assessment of older cultures, and no Australian isolates were tested, these nematodes are treated separately in this pest categorisation. Furthermore, Subbotin et al. (2008) state that the taxonomic status of this species is under discussion.

An unidentified Merlinius species record has been found associated with potato in Victoria (APPD 2016). Only two species of Merlinius are reported in Australia, M. brevidens and M. nothus (Nobbs 2005; Hodda & Nobbs 2008; APPD 2016).

53An unidentified Quinisulcius species record was found on potato in Victoria (APPD 2016). Several species of Quinisulcius are listed in eastern Australia including; Q. capitatus (syn. Tylenchorhynchus capitatus, Q. acti ), Q. curvus (syn. T. curvus), and Q. goodeyi (ABRS 2009). Of these species T. capitatus has been reported on potato in Queensland (Nobbs 2005) and has been assessed separately in this pest categorisation. Tylenchorhynchus claytoni has been reported in association with potato overseas (Samaliev 2011) and has also been assessed separately in this pest categorisation.
54 A single specimen of unidentified Tylenchus has been reported from the roots and soil of potato in Victoria (APPD 2016). Tylenchus species reported from Australia include; T. davainei, T. minutus, and T. stachys (ABRS 2009). An extensive literature search failed to find reports of these species in association with potatoes, hence this record has been considered at the genus level in the pest categorisation.

Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea is a vector of Potato mop-top virus (PMTV) which is exotic to Australia. Should PMTV establish in Australia, presence of S. subterranea f.sp. subterranea would be considered as a potential pathway for entry of this virus into Western Australia. It is currently considered as a potential pathway for entry of PMTV into Australia (DAFF 2013).
56 Nucleorhabdovirus Eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV) is only known to occur in Australia as it was detected by New Zealand in PEQ Hibiscus syriacus imported from Australia (Tang et al. 2015). This report does not detail the state of origin, but this pathogen is not believed to be present in Western Australia.
57 Only Potato virus X (PVX) strain groups 1 and 3 occur in Australia, and both are known to occur in Western Australia (Wilson & Jones 1995), and as such are not considered separately in this pest categorisation.

Potato virus S (PVS) has two recognised phylogenetic groups, PVSO (ordinary) and PVSA (Andean), of which only PVSO is known to occur in Australia (Cox & Jones 2010; Lambert et al. 2012). There are two different biological strains within the PVSO phylogenetic group, PVSO-CL (Chenopodium localised) and PVSO-CS (Chenopodium systemic) (Cox & Jones 2010; Jones 2014). Both strains are known to occur within Australia. The Chenopodium localised strain is known to occur in Western Australia and other states (Cox & Jones 2010; Lambert et al. 2012). The Chenopodium systemic strain has not yet been detected in Western Australia (Cox & Jones 2010) but has been reported from Tasmania (Lambert et al. 2012). The systemic strain only causes a marginally more severe disease than the localised strain, but not at the extent to be regulated by industry (R Jones 2016, pers. comm. 30 Nov.). Therefore, PVS strains have not been considered further in this pest categorisation.
59 Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) has calico and tuber necrosis strains in potato (Slack 2001a; Xu & Nie 2006), of which there is only evidence to support the presence of the calico strain in Australia. DAFF (2013) assessed the tuber necrosis strain as it is exotic to Australia.
60Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) does not infect potatoes. Records on potato in Tasmania cite Duffus and Johnstone (1982), which have since been deemed to be misidentified records of Potato leafroll virus (PLRV) (R Jones 2016, pers. comm. 30 Nov.). Beet western yellows virus (BWYV) was listed in this pest categorisation to clarify that it is not a disease of potato.

Pospiviroid Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) is established in weed species in Carnarvon, Western Australia (IPPC 2015); however, it has not been detected on potato crops produced in Western Australia and remains a prohibited organism for Western Australia under the BAM Act 2007.
62Potato virus A (PVA) has not been reported from Western Australia since the 1940s (Bald 1941). PVA has not been detected in the field in Western Australia (R Jones 2016, pers. comm. 30 Nov.). This virus causes a minor disease in the few potato varieties that lack PVA resistance gene Na. It has been detected in Kipfler ware tubers grown in the eastern states (R Jones 2016, pers. comm. 30 Nov.).
63 Some biological strains and phylogenetic groups of Potato virus Y (PVY) are present within Australia including; biological strains PVY
C, PVY
D, PVY
N, PVY
O and PVY
Z, and phylogenetic group PVY
NTN
(Coutts & Jones 2015; Kehoe & Jones 2016). The PVY biological strains PVYC and PVY
O, and phylogenetic group PVY
Z are known to occur in Western Australia (Kehoe & Jones 2011; Kehoe & Jones
2016). 64
Büchen-Osmond et al. (1988) indicates that isolates of Tobacco necrosis virus (TNV) in Australia are closely related to the A and D serotypes. However, the taxonomy of TNV has been revised (Meulewaeter et al. 1990; Coutts et al. 1991 cited in DAFF 2013, p. 69), and DAFF (2013) considered TNV-A and TNV-D strains as exotic to Australia.
65DAFF (2013) considered the potato strain of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV-P) to be absent from Australia. Jones (2014) stated that TMV has been reported to occur on potato in Europe and the Andean region, but in general it is rarely found in potato. Natural infection of potato has not been reported in Australia (R Jones 2016, pers. comm. 30 Nov.). TMV causes a disease of tobacco that is becoming less important world-wide as the tobacco crop declines (R Jones 2016, pers. comm 30 Nov.).

Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) is found in most regions of Australia on alternative hosts (Büchen-Osmond et al. 1988). Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) rarely infects potato (Jones 2014). Although no state records have been found for this virus on potatoes in Australia (R Jones 2016, pers. comm. 30 Nov.), it has been included in this pest categorisation for transparency, as DAFF (2013) did not differentiate between strains that infect potato and those that occur on tomato in Australia. Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) causes a disease of tomato that has become less important world-wide as commercial varieties now have resistance genes (R Jones 2016, pers. comm 30 Nov.)

Potexvirus Potato aucuba mosaic virus (PAMV) [Tymovirales: Alphaflexiviridae]
Yes: Potato aucuba mosaic virus
(PAMV) has been detected on tubers in New South Wales and Victoria (Büchen-Osmond et al. 1988).
Yes: Potatoes are commercially grown
in Western Australia (ABS 2015). Transmission requires a helper virus, either PVA or PVY and the aphid Myzus persicae (Büchen-Osmond et al. 1988). Strains of PVY are known to occur in Western Australia (Coutts & Jones 2015), as does M. persicae (APPD 2016).
Yes: The yield of potato crops is
affected differently between varieties and strain of the virus. Control requires choice of resistant varieties, aphid control, roguing of infected plants and removal of volunteers (Büchen-Osmond et al. 1988).
yes
Carlavirus Potato virus M (PVM) [Tymovirales: Betaflexiviridae]
Yes: Infected tubers are common
source of the virus (German 2001b)
Yes: Potatoes are commercially grown
in Western Australia (ABS 2015).
Yes: Potato virus M (PVM) causes
the diseases potato leaf rolling mosaic and paracrinkle. Effects on whole plants include stunting of shoots and rolling of the tops (Jeffries 1998; German 2001b). Yield losses can be significant in some situations, ranging from 14 to 45% (Jeffries 1998; German 2001b).
