Economic impact assessment in pest risk analysis

Crop Protection, 2010
According to international treaties, phytosanitary measures against introduction and spread of invasive plant pests must be justified by a science-based pest risk analysis (PRA). Part of the PRA consists of an assessment of potential economic consequences.

Extracting Pest Risk Information from Risk Assessment Documents

2019 ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL), 2019
Outbreaks of plant pests and pathogens have the potential to significantly harm the Canadian economy, damage the environment, detrimentally affect the health of citizens, and threaten national food security. Loss of trees caused by the Emerald Ash Borer pest had a significant public health impact due to an increase in mortality related to ...

Advances in insect pest monitoring using pest population growth and geospatial data for pest risk assessment

2023
Insect pest monitoring serves to evaluate pest severity over time and space. Special attention is given to acquiring and estimating pest population levels and affiliated variables that may influence trajectory of pest severity within and across crops and other habitat.

Assessing the quality of pest risk models.

2015
Abstract The quality of pest risk models depends on their reliability and validity. Reliability refers to the model's trustworthiness and dependability, but the concept is extended to consistency and stability. Approaches to help establish and test consistency are described.

ASSESSING RISKS OF RELEASING EXOTIC BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENTS OF ARTHROPOD PESTS

Annual Review of Entomology, 2006
▪ Abstract  More than 5000 introductions of about 2000 species of exotic arthropod agents for control of arthropod pests in 196 countries or islands during the past 120 years rarely have resulted in negative environmental effects. Yet, risks of environmental effects caused by releases of exotics are of growing concern.

Challenges in risk assessment of biopesticides for insect pests

Biopesticides are important tools for controlling insect pests, and demand for them is growing globally. While biopesticides are generally considered to be of low risk, robust risk assessments are still needed to support their registration. Addressing testing questions and challenges will help better refine environmental risk assessments by limiting ...
