<p>Details of pest and disease threats to hornbeam (<em>Carpinus betulus</em>), along
with other plant and tree species, are included on the UK plant health risk register,
which can be accessed here: <a href="https://secure.fera.defra.gov.uk/phiw/riskRegister/"
target="_blank">https://secure.fera.defra.gov.uk/phiw/riskRegister/</a>. Of the 1,040
entries on the risk register, ten of these have hornbeam specifically listed as a
major host species, although hornbeam may be a minor host in relation to certain other
pests and diseases listed (e.g. those which are polyphagous in nature on broadleaved
trees). The risk register includes information about current mitigations in place
and priorities for future actions.</p><p> </p>
