D-01-01:  Phytosanitary Requirements to Prevent the Entry of Phytophthora ramorum  Associated
with Sudden Oak Death into Canada
This directive contains the phytosanitary requirements for the importation of propagative and
non-propagative host materials, of a serious pathogen Phytophthora ramorum  (sudden oak death)
affecting a broad range of plants.
Great Britain has recently reported the occurrence of the disease on Hamamelis , Aesculus  and
Fagus  (see  www.defra.gov.uk/planth/oak.htm).  As a consequence, Canada is changing the list of
regulated species to include all species within the genera Hamamelis  and Fagus .  (Canada already
regulates Aesculus for sudden oak death.)
