Following the commodity risk assessment of unrooted cuttings from Uganda, in which (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of for the territory of the European Union (EU). originates probably from sub-Saharan Africa. It is present in Africa, North and South America, as well as in parts of Asia and Oceania. Within the EU, the pest has been recorded in the Netherlands in greenhouses on ornamental plants, however, it appears not to be able to establish outside of a greenhouse under the environmental conditions of the Netherlands. is polyphagous, feeding on plants assigned to 158 genera in 68 plant families. Important crops of the EU that may be affected by this insect are avocado, citrus, grape and olive. Host availability and climate suitability would support its establishment in the southern EU countries. Indoor establishment in greenhouses can occur in colder areas of the EU. Reintroduction and spread of this scale insect would likely have an economic impact in the EU as it feeds on plant leaves and fruit, injects toxic saliva, reduces photosynthesis, and overall may cause yield loss and even death of entire plants. is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry, establishment and spread of the pest into the EU. All criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as a potential quarantine pest are met.
在对来自乌干达的无根插条进行商品风险评估后，其中（半翅目：盾蚧科）被确定为可能令人关注的有害生物，欧盟委员会要求欧洲食品安全局植物健康小组对该有害生物进行欧盟境内的有害生物分类。该有害生物可能原产于撒哈拉以南非洲。它分布于非洲、南北美洲以及亚洲和大洋洲的部分地区。在欧盟境内，该有害生物已在荷兰的温室观赏植物上被记录到，然而，在荷兰的环境条件下，它似乎无法在温室之外定殖。该有害生物食性广泛，取食68个植物科158个属的植物。欧盟可能受这种昆虫影响的重要作物有鳄梨、柑橘、葡萄和橄榄。寄主可利用性和气候适宜性将有助于其在欧盟南部国家定殖。在欧盟较寒冷地区的温室中可在室内定殖。这种盾蚧的再次传入和扩散可能会对欧盟造成经济影响，因为它取食植物叶片和果实，注入有毒唾液，降低光合作用，总体上可能导致产量损失甚至整株植物死亡。该有害生物未列入委员会实施条例（欧盟）2019/2072的附件II。有植物卫生措施可降低该有害生物进入、定殖和扩散到欧盟的可能性。欧洲食品安全局评估的作为潜在检疫性有害生物考虑的所有标准均已满足。
