Recently, the Changzhou port intercepted the "uninvited guests" of the large mosquito family, which is also the first time that the Changzhou port has intercepted such pests.
In changzhou's Wujin Comprehensive Free Trade Zone, quarantine workers found the pest in a batch of old equipment from Canada. After laboratory identification, it was confirmed to be a large mosquito. The larvae of the family Macrophyllaceae use spoiled plants as their main food and pose a threat to the growth of cereals and pastures.
Chen Wenjun, a member of the comprehensive section of the Wujin Office of changzhou entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureau, said: "In the process of equipment use, pests may be hidden in it and imported into China through the carrier of old equipment. When importing old equipment, importing enterprises must make a strict declaration according to the degree of new and old. ”
It is understood that wooden packaging, animal and plant residues in means of transport and containers, soil, etc., may become the carrier of pest transmission. The inspection and quarantine department will continue to increase the construction of port quarantine infrastructure and preliminary screening laboratories.
