On February 11, 2025, the presence of Western California Flower Thrips was confirmed in Oxypetalums, a flowering plant species. This detection raises significant concerns regarding the health and safety of plant materials within the region.
The incident was reported by Россельхознадзор, also known as the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance in Russia. The source of the issue has been traced back to China, indicating that the introduction of this pest may be linked to international trade and import practices.
