Abstract

Štetnici s EPPO ‘’Alert’’ liste predstavljaju ozbiljnu prijetnju biološkoj raznolikosti,
poljoprivredi i ekonomiji. Europska i Mediteranska organizacija za zaštitu bilja (EPPO) igra
ključnu ulogu u sprječavanju unosa i širenja ovih štetnika putem sustava ranog upozorenja i
‘’Alert’’ liste. Globalizacija, međunarodna trgovina i klimatske promjene značajno doprinose
širenju invazivnih vrsta. Cilj rada je pregledom literature utvrditi aktualno stanje kukaca na
‘’Alert’’ listi, opisati njihovu morfologiju, biološke i ekološke značajke, mogućnosti suzbijanja
te utvrditi preporučene fitosanitarne mjere koje se mogu provoditi u svrhu prevencije širenja
u slučaju unosa u određeno područje. Štetnici na ‘’Alert’’ listi obuhvaćaju redove Coleoptera,
Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera i Thysanoptera. Ključni alati za zaštitu uključuju rano
otkrivanje, analizu rizika i međunarodnu suradnju. Zaključak ističe potrebu za kontinuiranim
unapređenjem strategija zaštite i edukacijom relevantnih dionika.

Abstract (english)

Pests on the EPPO Alert list pose a serious threat to biodiversity, agriculture, and the
economy. The European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) plays a
crucial role in preventing the introduction and spread of these pests through early warning
systems and the Alert list. Globalization, international trade, and climate change significantly
contribute to the spread of invasive species. The aim of this paper is to review the current
status of insects on the Alert list, describe their morphology, biological and ecological
characteristics, control possibilities, and determine recommended phytosanitary measures to
prevent their spread if introduced into a specific area. Pests on the Alert list include orders
Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, and Thysanoptera. Key protection tools include
early detection, risk analysis, and international cooperation. The conclusion emphasizes the
need for continuous improvement of protection strategies and the education of relevant
stakeholders.
