| dc.description | This survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and diagnostics for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. To simplify the identification of the pest, it also provides visuals. Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus is a priority pest among several countries in the IPPC's Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), which aims to enhance pest management across Africa by empowering technical personnel or phytosanitary officers in national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to use science and digital technology. This survey guidance is intended to enhance NPPOs' surveillance of Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus and strengthen the resilience of national phytosanitary systems against plant pests of regulatory, economic and environmental concern, particularly Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus. It complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the APP mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, for monitoring and data collection. Countries will use the survey data to support the export trade of pest-free crop commodities. | |
