    Summary

    The eight-toothed spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is a significant pest of spruce and other conifers across the EU. Its wide distribution and ability to attack healthy trees necessitate strict quarantine measures.

    Area of Science:

    • Plant Health
    • Entomology
    • Forestry
    • Pest Risk Analysis

    Background:

    • Ips typographus, the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle, is a major pest of spruce (Picea spp.) and other conifers native to Eurasia.
    • It has spread to 22 EU Member States, impacting spruce plantations and natural forests.
    • The beetle is recognized as a quarantine pest for protected zones in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To perform a pest categorization of Ips typographus for the European Union (EU).
    • To assess its status as a potential protected zone quarantine pest and regulated non-quarantine pest.
    • To evaluate its pathways, biology, and potential for establishment within the EU.

    Main Methods:

    • Pest categorization based on established criteria.
    • Review of existing data on Ips typographus distribution, biology, and pathways.
    • Assessment of its potential to meet criteria for regulated non-quarantine pest status.

    Main Results:

    • Ips typographus is a well-defined species capable of mass-attacking and killing healthy spruce trees.
    • It has a wide distribution in the EU and can disperse over long distances.
    • The beetle inoculates pathogenic fungi, increasing its impact on host trees.
    • It meets all criteria for a potential protected zone quarantine pest.

    Conclusions:

    • Ips typographus poses a significant threat to spruce forests across the EU.
    • Current quarantine measures are crucial to prevent its entry into uncolonized areas.
    • It does not meet the criteria for a regulated non-quarantine pest as plants for planting are not a pathway.
