The Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Septoria malagutii, the causal agent of
annular leaf spot of potato, for the EU. The pest is a well-defined fungal species and reliable methods
exist for its detection and identification. S. malagutii is present in Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela.
The pest is not known to occur in the EU and is listed as Septoria lycopersici var. malagutii in Annex
IAI of Directive 2000/29/EC, meaning its introduction into the EU is prohibited. The major cultivated
host is Solanum tuberosum (potato), but other Solanum species including wild solanaceous plants are
also affected. All hosts and pathways of entry of the pest into the EU are currently regulated. Host
availability and climate matching suggest that S. malagutii could establish in parts of the EU and
further spread mainly by human-assisted means. The pest affects leaves, stems and petioles of potato
plants (but not the underground parts, including tubers) causing lesions, leaf necrosis and premature
defoliation. In some infested areas, the disease has been reported to cause almost complete crop loss
with favourable weather conditions and susceptible potato cultivars. The introduction of the pest into
the EU would potentially cause impacts to potato production. The main uncertainties concern the host
range, the maximum period the pest survives on host debris in soil, the maximum distance over which
conidia of the pest could be dispersed by wind-driven rain and the magnitude of potential impacts to
the EU. S. malagutii meets all the criteria assessed by EFSA for consideration as potential Union
quarantine pest. The criteria for considering S. malagutii as a potential Union regulated non-quarantine
pest are not met, since the pest is not known to occur in the EU. [-]
