Many of them are foodborne and are commonly associated with farmed animals, or less frequently with wildlife. However, some pathogens are also transmitted into the food-chain indirectly from animals onto plants, via faecal contamination of water used for irrigation or via the soil where the plants grow. </p>

It is also the year when the new Plant Health Law is implemented across the European Union.</p>
<p>EFSA has embarked on a number of interconnected projects that support the European Commission's efforts to protect the EU from plant pests and diseases and to help Member States prepare to meet future threats.</p>

Therefore there is clearly need to demonstrate these authenticity problems by modern analytical techniques.</span></p>

<p>The agency has published the latest update of its database of plants that act as hosts for <em>X. fastidiosa</em>. The updated list includes 563 plant species identified through a new literature search and from notifications to the EU’s plant health interception service EUROPHYT. For 312 of the species, infection has been identified by at least two detection methods.</p>
