Where EAB has been found

The only known occurrence of EAB in Missouri is at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Greenville Recreation Area in Wayne County. On Sept. 3, 2008, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Missouri Department of Agriculture placed Wayne County, Mo., under quarantine for articles related to emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) until further notice.

In the United States, as of July 2010, EAB had been found in 15 states and in two Canadian Provinces.
