Reports of PSHB are managed within a centralised incident management platform, the following regional reports have been generated:
Note that recent genetic tests conducted by FABI on the two incidents reported in Cape Town have shown the reported infestation to be another species of borer beetle.
Reporting activity is directly correlated with media coverage, as more people learn about Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) the user base of Tree Survey increases, and so data coverage of where PSHB has spread within South Africa improves.
