Abstract Purpose of Review Because tree seeds have been considered a low-risk pathway for the spread plant pathogenic fungi, their international movement is not subject to strict phytosanitary regulation. However, recent studies provided scientific evidence that biosecurity risk seed trade may be as negligible assumed. This review summarises current knowledge about activity across world and seed-borne fungi highlights gaps need filled mitigate spreading pathogens via seeds. Recent Findings...
Abstract An important aspect of analyzing the risk unwanted organisms establishing in an area is understanding pathways by which they arrive. Evaluating risks these requires use data from multiple sources, frequently are uncertain. To address needs agencies responsible for biosecurity operations, we present Integrated Biosecurity Risk Assessment Model (IBRAM) evaluating establishment and dispersal invasive species along trade pathways. The IBRAM framework consists linked models describe pest...
Abstract Tephritid fruit flies (Diptera; Tephritidae) represent a group of insects that include some the most economically important pests in horticulture. Because their economic importance, financial impacts an incursion tephritid into new area can often result restrictions to trade. The any trade imposed by importing countries are confounded current absence consistent and accepted criteria for strength extent declaring end incursion. author has developed models be used establish management...
Developing decision support models to evaluate biosecurity risks objectively helps makers manage the associated with importation of goods We report on development a prototype generic risk assessment model determine probability and consequences plant pest establishment spread event for an infection point given organism arrives via various pathways The has number submodels including entry pathway which ratio infested units coming from any supplying point; chance occuring at or occurring site...
Invasive species are non-native plants and animals that can significantly harm societal natural values such as agriculture, social amenity, the environment native ecosystems species. Efficient preparation for their incursion requires understanding potential impact, influenced by factors introduction pathways, host material availability, climate suitability, value of affected agriculture. A crucial factor is specific to therefore unpredictable beforehand size outbreak at time detection, which...
