Observed spread & simulated build-up
Replay verified EPPO first reports year by year. Each country lights up when it is first reported; dots are sized by tomato-export volume as a proxy for likely problem size, and faint trails trace likely introduction paths.
Dots are placed at EPPO-reported countries; size, colour and trails are illustrative, not measured. The map does not show the full native South American pest range.
How this view is built
Where it is established today
A snapshot from the EPPO distribution table. Country totals come from the distribution records; the report entries in the feed below are timeline events and need not map one-to-one to countries.
By the numbers
Presence by EPPO region
EPPO groups present countries into continental regions. Counts are unique countries with a present status.
How the invasion unfolded
Each milestone is drawn from EPPO Reporting Service articles; wording is kept cautious and source-linked.
