Use of Information
Section 44 of the Biosecurity Act 1993 imposes a duty on all persons to inform the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the presence of what appears to be an organism not normally seen in New Zealand.
When a person provides that information, the Ministry is required to publish, pursuant to its international obligations under the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) Article VIII,1.(a) the fact that the particular organism has been found to be present in New Zealand.
The publication by the Ministry that a particular organism is present in New Zealand does not restrict any person from publishing (including in an academic journal), any information about that organism.
[1] Report Status : interim report
Specimen may have been sent elsewhere for further identification, and awaiting results.
[2] Pest Organism : In the case of a vector
If a virus, nematode or fungus is known to be vectored by an organism present in NZ, please note that organism in the comments field. If a record of this vector association in New Zealand exists please provide a publication reference in the comments field or a PPIN record.

[10] Pest Host Association Comments
Any general comments related to the association, eradication details, or specific comments about the pest (e.g. global distribution if new to New Zealand) or known host range in or outside of New Zealand) or host that should be captured (e.g. significance of the pest on other host plants known to be affected).
[11] Host Organism : Category : inanimate host
i.e. clothing, sawn timber, wooden furniture etc.
[12] Host Organism : Category : other
i.e. insect
[13] Host Organism : Taxonomic Group
Order and Family.
[14] Host Organism : Descriptor (cv/var) / Trinomial
Where there is a third name, give descriptor (e.g. var.) and trinomial (e.g. Prunus persica var. nucipersica)
[15] Host Organism : Common name(s)
Give host common name. If there is no common name use 'NCN'
[16] Is this the original name this organism was described under
If NO then note original name details under a synonym in the above table.
[17] Pest Host Observation Comments
Any comments related to this specific observation of the association, eradication details, or specific comments about the pest or host that should be captured (e.g. observations made about other potential hosts present on site).
[18] Location : Crosby Code
For list of Crosby codes refer to: Crosby, T. K., Dugdale, J. S., and Watt, J. C. 1998. Area codes for recording specimen localities in the New Zealand subregion. New Zealand Journal of Zoology 25, 175-183.
Using area codes for localities which are imprecisely unknown (p. 183) a question mark (?) may be used to indicate the doubtful status of the area code information.
A question mark after an area code, e.g. AK?, means that the specimen is suspected to be from that area although it is not certain from the locality information with the specimen.
When used with 'NO', 'SO', and "NZ', the question mark means that the species is suspected to occur throughout the North Island, South Island, or New Zealand, respectively.
[19] Location : Site Name
Commercial name of farm, orchard etc. where pest-host association was observed (e.g. Applefields).
[20] Location : Address
Physical address of property where pest-host association was observed. If residential address, give street number.
If the site address is not on the original form use 'not given'. Do not use the address of the collector, field officer, or agent as a substitute (unless it is/was the site address).
[21] Location : Site Information/Description
e.g. commercial, glasshouse, nursery, orchard, domestic, formal garden etc.
[22] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Primary
This organism is able to invade, and gain sustenance from, intact tissues of this plant or processed product (and may cause damage or disease, possibly leading to economic loss).
This category includes timber/wood, processed wood, and stored animal/plant products.
[23] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Secondary
Plant Pathology:
This organism attacks, and gains sustenance from, tissues of this plant once already impaired (and may then cause disease or damage to this host, possibly leading to economic loss).
Other than Plant Pathology:
This organism infests, and gains sustenance from, tissues of this plant once already damaged/overripe.
[24] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Saprophyte
This organism gains sustenance from the rots/fungi growing
- on this host plant;
- in/on decaying plant material;
- in/on decaying animal material.
i.e., it could be associated with any plant or animal under similar conditions.
[25] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : In/on soil
This organism has been found in/on the soil, not necessarily on the tissues of adjacent host(s).
[26] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Potential Primary
Although the biology of this organism on this host is unknown, the part of the plant where this organism was found, and the biology of that family/genus on other hosts, suggest a primary relationship.
[27] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Predator/Parasite
Either: this life stage of this organism is found living off and gaining sustenance from another organism (e.g., another insect) to the detriment of that host organism.
Or: life stage(s) of this organism are known to live off and gain sustenance from a pest organism that has a known primary, secondary or saprophyte association with the host organism. This includes biological control agents and organisms that could be considered beneficial.
[28] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Casual
Any organism that occurs accidentally or as a hitch-hiker, or passenger and is not known:
Either to gain sustenance from the tissues of this host plant;
Or to live off and gain sustenance from a pest organism that has a known primary, secondary or saprophyte association with the host organism.
[29] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Contaminant
This organism is not known to live off and gain sustenance from this crop but was found on the export product of this crop during pre-export inspection.
[30] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Symbiotic
These organisms derive mutual benefit (e.g., protection, food....) by living together (e.g., honey bees).
[31] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Unknown
There is no known information on the biology and hosts of this organism. Therefore, its significance on this crop is unknown.
[32] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Health Concern
Life stage(s) of this organism are known (or have the potential) to inflict pain, cause illness and/or create nuisance to vertebrates (e.g., humans, livestock, birds).
This category includes poisonous spiders, mosquitoes, blackflies, fleas, lice, and swarming insects.
[33] Pest Host Association Details : Nature of Association : Endophyte
An organism that lives its life cycle within a host plant but causes no symptoms of disease. For mycology this includes fungi that live within stems and leaves without causing disease symptoms. (Ainsworth and Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi (Eighth Edition) (1995) refer p. 150)
[34] Pest Host Association Details : Effect of Pest on Host (symptoms)
Give symptoms found for the case being worked with (e.g. leaf spots, stem canker, chewed leaves, silvering, mosaic etc.)
Where association is primary but no symptoms are recorded use 'none observed' (in the General Comments field you can extrapolate symptoms from the literature).
Where association is secondary or saprophytic use the words 'associated with' (e.g. associated with leaf spots).
If the effect is not a result of the organism in question use 'NA'.
[35] Pest Host Association Details : Status : Observation record
This is a subsequent sighting of an already known and published pest-host association / pest distribution etc. For further queries see PPIN Administrator.
[36] Pest Host Association Details : Source
Information is required in two parts: 1. How did the specimen come to be collected? e.g. public enquiry, risk site survey, research project etc. 2. Please note the name of the organisation contributing this information to MAF.
[37] Pest Host Association Details : Collector and Date
Give collector's full name (where possible), organisation, and address (e.g. Eric McKenzie, Landcare Research, Auckland and H Evans, Wakanui, RD 7, Ashburton)
When using initials do not use periods (.) (e.g. E H C McKenzie not E. H. C. McKenzie).
