Phytophthora ramorum Phytophthora ramorum national surveynational survey

Most states have started or completed their surveys

Over 3000 nurseries / garden centers have been surveyed

Over 50,000 samples have been taken

As of October 2004, this survey has identified 15 confirmed finds in 7 states: California, Oregon, Washington, Maryland, Oklahoma, New Jersey and Virginia

Overview of the program

What to do…

Sample referral and submissionSample referral and submission

In some states, only the State or federal regulatory officials will be collecting the specimens.

Contact your county extension agent or supervisor to find out who is authorized to collect suspect samples in your county.

Sample referral criteriaSample referral criteria Plants likely to be infected by Phytophthora

ramorum (as indicated by the screening questionnaire):

Affected plant is on host list and purchased since 2002

Affected plant is near a recently purchased host plant

Symptoms are consistent with Phytophthora ramorum

Screening questions at the NCIPM website: (www.ncipm.org/sod)

CommunicationCommunication

Submit the suspect sample to: County Extension Specialist/Farm Advisor Master Gardener Other state designated representative

Avoid alarming behavior. Don’t jump to conclusions. Wait for lab result Maintain confidentiality

If you’re asked to collect a If you’re asked to collect a samplesample

Collect leaves that show various stages of symptom development.

Take pictures of symptoms and environment.

Packaging a samplePackaging a sample Place sample on a

paper towel. Do not wet the towel.

Double bag and seal the sample in zippable bags.

If shipping, use a crush proof box with seams sealed completely with tape.

Be sure to include the sample submission form required by your state.

Delivering a sampleDelivering a sample

Contact the sample recipient.

Samples must be fresh and in good condition.

Rapid delivery is critical (no Friday shipments).

Sampling remindersSampling reminders

The accuracy of a disease diagnosis can only be as good as the sample and information provided.

Sample must be representative of symptoms and severity in the field and must contain the right material.

Sampling remindersSampling reminders

Sanitation disposal of material containment while shipping clean tools

Chain of custody restrict access to sample make sure sample collection location is

retraceable

Diagnostics: laboratory testsDiagnostics: laboratory tests

There are three detection methods: Antibody test (ELISA) Plating on selective

media DNA (PCR)
