Relative to previous official pest reports for Canada posted on the NAPPO-PAS (e.g., 01/19/2006;  04/27/2006) listing the plant genera regulated by Canada to prevent the introduction of Phytophthora ramorum (Sudden Oak Death), the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recently made some minor modifications to this list.

Genera recently added to the list of plants regulated for P. ramorum include Distylium (distylium), Ilex (holy), Manglietia (manglietia), as well as Parakmeria (parakmeria).
