Where and when was EAB found in Missouri?
On July 23, 2008, an employee with U.S. Department of Agriculture’ Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS) collected seven suspected EAB specimens from a purple prism trap placed in the campground at the Wappapello Lake Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Greenville Recreational Area in Wayne County, Missouri. The trap was placed at this location as part of the EAB National Survey, which targets high risk sites for EAB trapping in 48 states. Those seven beetles were confirmed to be EAB on July 25, 2008, by U.S. Department of Agriculture.
