Comments Sought on Plan to Combat Deadly White-Nose Syndrome in Bats (PDF | 56.2 KB) (Oct 27, 2010)
DOI. Fish and Wildlife Service.
White-nose syndrome has killed more than a million bats in the Northeast and has spread to 11 or more states in less than four years since its discovery near Albany, New York. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in collaboration with other federal agencies, including USDA, state agencies and tribal governments, is proposing a coordinated national management plan to address this critical environmental issue. The proposed plan is available for review and comment through Dec 26, 2010. The plan and additional information are available on the FWS White-Nose Syndrome site.

2010 Florida Citrus Pest Management Guide: Citrus Canker
University of Florida. Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
Citrus canker, caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. Citri, is a leaf, fruit, and stem blemishing disease that affects most citrus. The 1,900-ft rule was suspended in January 2006 and eradication of citrus-canker-affected trees ended. The new Citrus Health Response Plan does not require removal of affected trees. Thus, growers should use their best judgment in management of citrus canker. The entire state of Florida is under quarantine, and fruit movement is subject to specific regulations depending on market destination. Although it is difficult to predict exactly how severe canker losses will be under Florida conditions, indications from outbreaks in the state are that it will be difficult to control on grapefruit and the most susceptible early season orange varieties. Areas that are currently canker-free should be protected to the extent possible.

USDA Begins National Survey of Honey Bee Pests and Diseases (Jun 7, 2010)
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the beginning of a 13-state survey of honey bee pests and diseases conducted cooperatively by USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, USDA's Agricultural Research Service and Pennsylvania State University. The survey will help USDA scientists to determine the prevalence of parasites and disease-causing microorganisms that may be contributing to the decline of honey bee colonies nationwide that scientists have named colony collapse disorder.
