In December 2013, EFSA received a first mandate from the European Commission DG SANTE to gather information on the pests of apple fruit () in the EU territory (M-2014-0016). To satisfy the mandate, EFSA developed an overall approach to systematically collect information on EU apple pests and to organise it within a bespoke database with support from the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety. Test data were collected for 12 apple pests (6 insects and 6 pathogens). Based on the experience gathered, the initial database structure was adapted and refined by EFSA, permitting more efficient data gathering. In September 2017, as a follow-up to the original mandate, EFSA was requested by the European Commission DG SANTE to test the suitability of the revised database in supporting risk assessors in third countries to carry out pest risk assessments of apple fruit as a commodity (M-2017-0203). As a first step, the data set on the 12 pests was migrated into the newly revised database structure. This was then converted into the MicroStrategy platform to provide a user-friendly interface for data search and visualisation. At the same time, a new data entry tool using the systematic literature review software DistillerSR was created to enhance data extraction for future data collections. The interactive data reports were shared with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) in New Zealand for their testing and feedback as potential future users of the database. The overall feedback collected from CFIA and MPI confirms that the EU database on apple fruit pests could become an important tool to provide third countries the necessary technical and biological information for their pest risk assessments. Addressing feedback from CFIA and MPI has further improved the database structure and metadata. The database of apple pests can be included in the EFSA Scientific Data Warehouse and extended to provide a comprehensive list of pests and host plants.
2013年12月，欧洲食品安全局（EFSA）收到欧盟卫生与食品安全总司（DG SANTE）的首项任务，即收集欧盟境内苹果果实（）害虫的信息（M-2014-0016）。为完成该任务，欧洲食品安全局制定了一套总体方法，以系统收集有关欧盟苹果害虫的信息，并在奥地利卫生与食品安全局的支持下，将其整理到一个定制数据库中。收集了12种苹果害虫（6种昆虫和6种病原体）的测试数据。根据收集到的经验，欧洲食品安全局对初始数据库结构进行了调整和完善，使数据收集更加高效。2017年9月，作为对原任务的后续跟进，欧盟卫生与食品安全总司要求欧洲食品安全局测试修订后的数据库是否适合支持第三国的风险评估人员对作为商品的苹果果实进行害虫风险评估（M-2017-0203）。第一步，将12种害虫的数据集迁移到新修订的数据库结构中。然后将其转换到MicroStrategy平台，以提供一个便于数据搜索和可视化的用户界面。同时，创建了一个使用系统文献综述软件DistillerSR的新数据录入工具，以加强未来数据收集的数据提取。交互式数据报告已与加拿大食品检验局（CFIA）和新西兰初级产业部（MPI）共享，供其作为数据库未来的潜在用户进行测试并提供反馈。从加拿大食品检验局和初级产业部收集到的总体反馈证实，欧盟苹果果实害虫数据库可成为向第三国提供害虫风险评估所需技术和生物学信息的重要工具。针对加拿大食品检验局和初级产业部的反馈进一步改进了数据库结构和元数据。苹果害虫数据库可纳入欧洲食品安全局科学数据仓库，并进行扩展，以提供害虫和寄主植物的完整清单。
