AB Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg & O’Donnel is listed among the species recommended forregulation as quarantine pests in Europe. Over 60 Pinus species are susceptible to the pathogen andit also causes disease on Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) and species in generasuch as Picea and Larix. The European Food Safety Authority considers the probability of newintroductions—via contaminated seeds, wood material, soil and growing substrates, natural meansand human activities—into the EU very likely. Due to early detection, constant surveillance andcontrol measures, F. circinatum outbreaks have officially been eradicated in Italy and France. However,the global spread of F. circinatum suggests that the pathogen will continue to be encountered in newenvironments in the future. Therefore, continuous surveillance of reproductive material, nurseriesand plantations, prompt control measures and realistic contingency plans will be important in Europeand elsewhere to limit disease spread and the “bridgehead effect”, where new introductions of a tree pathogen become increasingly likely as new environments are invaded, must be considered.Therefore, survey programs already implemented to limit the spread in Europe and that couldbe helpful for other EU countries are summarized in this review. These surveys include not onlycountries where pitch canker is present, such as Portugal and Spain, but also several other EUcountries where F. circinatum is not present. Sampling protocols for seeds, seedlings, twigs, branches,shoots, soil samples, spore traps and insects from different studies are collated and compiled in thisreview. Likewise, methodology for morphological and molecular identification is herein presented.These include conventional PCR with a target-specific region located in the intergenic spacer region,as well as several real-time PCR protocols, with different levels of specificity and sensitivity. Finally,the global situation and future perspectives are addressed.
