1 Myrtle rust Emergency response to an exotic incursion Angus Carnegie & Kevin Cooper
2 Outline Australia s biosecurity system/process Taxonomy of the introduced rust Various stages of the emergency response Conclusions / what we learnt Current situation in the Australian environment
3 Australia s Biosecurity System Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed ( the Deed ) All government and some industry parties (2005) Provides the framework for managing Exotic Plant Pest (EPP) incursions Cost-sharing (Government / Industry) Plant Health Australia (PHA): custodians PLANTPLAN Technical response plan used by jurisdictions and industry in responding to an EPP incident Provides nationally consistent guidelines for response procedures under the Deed Outlines the Phases of an incursion response Key roles and responsibilities of industry and government
4 1. Investigation Phase: EPP detected, relevant organisations and people notified (e.g. State CPHM, diagnostics) 2. Alert Phase: EPP identified, Australian CPPO notified, Consultative Committee on Emergency Plant Pests (CCEPP), determines whether containment and eradication is technically feasible (and economically justifiable), recommendation to National Management Group (NMG) 3. Operational Phase: Lead Agency implements and manages EPP response, overseen by CCEPP; Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) 4. Stand Down Phase: Follows success of emergency response (eradication), of if not technically feasible to eradicate CPHM: Chief Plant Health Manger in each State/Territory CPPO: Chief Plant Protection Officer (Federal) CCEPP: Technical committee CPHM, CPPO, Biosecurity Australia, Industry representatives NMG: CEOs of State Departments, President/Chairman of affected Industry bodies
5 Taxonomy of the introduced rust 23 rd April 2010 Urediniospores (asexual) with a tonsure (smooth patch) Uredo rangelii - no telial (sexual) stage described Member of guava rust (Puccinia psidii) complex Previously only known from two collections (originally identified as Puccinia psidii) Myrtle rust to distinguish it from eucalyptus/guava rust Roger Shivas
6 Taxonomy of the introduced rust Historically: two morphological forms known for Puccinia psidii sensu lato (guava rust complex) Graça & Alfenas Roger Shivas Tonsured U. rangelii - Brazil - Jamaica - Argentina - Uruguay - Australia Graça & Alfenas Roger Shivas Echinulate P. psidii Type - Brazil - Jamaica - Trinidad - Florida? - Hawaii? J. Walker (1983)
7 Taxonomy of the introduced rust AC Phakopsora DQ Puccinia lagenophorae EF Puccinia saccardoi DNA sequence analysis (tef-1, ß-tubulin, ITS) revealed no distinction between Australian rust and P. psidii from numerous collections overseas (Brazil, Hawaii, Uruguay) EF Puccinia stylidii AF Melampsora lini DQ Phakopsora apoda EU P. psidii Colombia Syzygium jambos P. psidii Brazil UFV26 Psidium guajava P. psidii Hawaii Metrosideros polymorpha P. psidii Hawaii Melaleuca quinquenervia DAR80678 Uredo rangelii NSW Agonis flexuosa P. psidii Hawaii Syzygium jambos P. psidii Brazil UFV8 Psidium guajava P. psidii Brazil UFV3 P. psidii Brazil UFV1 P. psidii Brazil UFV9 Syzygium jambos EU P. psidii Uruguay Eucalyptus grandis EU P. psidii Uruguay Eucalyptus grandis DQ Puccinia alpina DQ Puccinia malvacearum DQ Cumminsiella mirabilissima EF Puccinia poae-nemoralis EF Puccinia graminis DQ Puccinia perplexans DQ Puccinia actaeae-agropyri EF Puccinia triticina Carnegie, Glen & Mohammed (2010) 0.1 EF Puccinia agropyrina ß-tubulin
8 Taxonomy of the introduced rust July 2010 we started observing teliospores (sexual stage) in the field Match the type description of Puccinia psidii Now common in NSW and Queensland collections U T Roger Shivas
9
10 Taxonomy of the introduced rust Teliospores: the rust should be referred to under a Puccinia name Puccinia psidii sensu lato (in the broad sense) Puccinia psidii complex (guava rust complex) Wide host range in Myrtaceae (111 species in 30 genera) At least 4 known biotypes (varying pathogenicity on a range of hosts) South & Central America (Brazil, Jamaica), Florida, Hawaii
11 Taxonomy of the introduced rust Myrtle rust : A single strain (genotype) of Puccinia psidii sensu lato No variation observed at molecular level (microsatelites Glen, unpublished) 8 loci identical to Hawaiian genotype Only tonsured urediniospores observed in Australia Important we continue quarantine restrictions to reduce chance of more strains (genotypes, biotypes) entering Australia
12 Eucalyptus/Guava rust (complex) A key biosecurity threat to Australia
13 Emergency Response - Stages Stages of myrtle rust response 1. Detection, initial surveys, stand down 2. NSW Response (not under the Deed) 3. National Response (under the Deed) 4. Transitional Management (living with it) Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 April May June July August September October November December January
14 Emergency Response Stage 1 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 April May June July August September October November December January Stage 1 (Investigation & Alert Phase under PLANTPLAN) Rust detected by cut-flower grower 21 April 2010 Central Coast NSW (Somersby Plateau) Identified as Uredo rangelii 23 April CPHM notified Initial surveys of IP1 (Infected Premises 1) 24 April Agonis flexuosa cv Afterdark (1,100 plants affected, many severely) Syncarpia glomulifera (windbreak), Callistemon viminalis CPPO notified; CCEPP convened 27 April (more information needed) Surveys continued in area April IP2 detected 28 April (8.5 km from IP1) Callistemon viminalis, nursery CCEPP re-convened 30 April, determined myrtle rust not technically feasible to eradicate Stood Down 30 April
15
16 Stage 1: - 25 sites surveyed - Nurseries, road-side plantings, native bush, gardens -Two teams of 3 survey officers -Two IPs detected
17 Stand Down.? CCEPP reasons myrtle rust not technically feasible to eradicate: 1. Myrtle rust likely to have been at IP1 for several months; large spore load spread into surrounding native bush; based on advice from rust experts and experience with previous rust incursions (e.g. poplar rust, snap-dragon rust) 2. Infected plant material had been sent to Sydney Markets 3. IP0 would be present (although not detected) 4. Efficacy of tools available to eradicate were limited
18 Emergency Response Stage 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 April May June July August September October November December January Stage 2 (Outside of the Deed/cost-sharing arrangements) - Live with it 1 May to 1 July 2010 NSW agencies agree to continue containment & surveillance (I&I NSW) Developed Interim Response Plan with aim to intensify emergency response Forest Health/Research staff continue surveillance (two teams of two) Growers/owners conduct fungicide operations (no formal quarantine notices) 3 May, National Biosecurity Committee (NBC) convened to develop National Management Plan for Myrtle rust (under Plant Health Committee, PHC) to identify immediate and longer term management actions & research: Clearly distinguish U. rangelii and P. psidii Assess impact in native environment Host testing Determine potential geographic spread 6 May, Plant Health Australia request CCEPP to reconsider decision, and also support NSW in suppression and surveillance activities
19 Stage 1 & 2 - outcomes Stage 1 Stage 2 April May June Surveillance & Containment (Stage 1 & Stage 2) 85 site inspections (multiple visits, including IPs) 55 properties Five IPs detected Four with only small number of plants Destruction of host material at IP2 to IP5 (too many at IP1) Fortnightly fungicide application Not detected outside nursery/cut-flower Some tracing work from/to IPs
20 IP1 IP2 IP4 IP3 IP5
21 Emergency Response Stage 3 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 April May June July August September October November December January Stage 3 Observations from Stage 1 & 2: Limited spread (five IPs) Limited number of hosts (still on three) Not found in native bush (and good containment/control on IPs) = rust had not behaved as expected (not spread far & wide) 2 nd July, NMG agreed Interim Response Plan (I&I NSW) Attempt to suppress & contain the rust with long-term view to eradication; allow time to gain additional knowledge Back under the Deed, PLANTPLAN

32 Stand Down - final 2 nd December CCEPP reviewed status of the rust Increasing host range Spread beyond Central Coast: Large number of domestic, commercial, public & recreational sites Native vegetation and forests Wind-borne spread Recomendation to NMG NMG 22 nd December: not technically feasible to eradicate
33 Transitional Stage Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Stage 4 April May June July August September October November December January Stage 4 live with it National Transitional Strategy being developed Overseen by Senior Biosecurity Officers Group Projects (Myrtle Rust Coordination Group) Funding? Coordination & communication (community & industry engagement) Disease management (domestic quarantine, market access) Taxonomy (morphology, DNA, P. psidii complex, quarantine) Impact (environment, industries, community) Chemical control Host testing & resistance breeding
34 Conclusions what we learnt Common name myrtle rust Some confusion Systematic & structured response (PLANTPLAN) Works well Ensure appropriate resources available (priority) Especially in early stages of response Industry needs to be better prepared for incursions Confusion with their role, responsibilities Training in biosecurity management & awareness Industry & government staff; essential Appropriate length for Investigation and Alert phase (before decision is made to proceed or stand down) 5 year Deed review (PHA)
