Biosecurity New Zealand recognizes that Plum pox virus (PPV) is one of the most destructive diseases of stone fruit and aims to keep New Zealand free from it. PPV has never been detected in New Zealand orchards during national surveys. but it has been detected in post‐entry quarantine. Biosecurity New Zealand has analysed the potential pathways for PPV to enter the country, and developed phytosanitary regulations and prevention control measures to reduce the risks. A contingency plan, a response programme, and diagnostic protocols have been developed and simulation exercises based on a hypothetical PPV incursion have been carried out.
