Abstract

The European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) has established a diagnostic programme in 1998. Since that year more than hundred standards have been developed including pest specific standards and horizontal standards (e.g. on quality assurance). Activities relevant to phytoplasmas are presented. Since the 1st of May 2019, EPPO is hosting the Q-bank database, a database to support plant pest diagnostic activities. Finally, Euphresco activities and how they support plant health are presented.
