Diagnostic Networks for Plant Biosecurity

2009
Early detection and accurate diagnosis can minimise the impact of a disease outbreak. With hundreds of host species and thousands of pathogen species, a plant diagnostician cannot be an expert on all plant systems. The National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) was created to link plant diagnostic laboratories throughout the United States to enhance ...

A Risk Management Framework for Plant Biosecurity

2017
Plant and food bisecurity threats in the context of this book target the agricultural industry or the food supply chain by accidental or deliberate introduction of a plant pathogen or insect pest, hence, damaging crops, food and feed. It is therefore a challenges for the stability of a society, and its economy, since, agriculture and the food industry ...

Biosecurity from Plant Viruses in India

2017
The liberalized trade of agricultural commodities under World Trade Organisation has necessitated the strengthening of agricultural biosecurity and aligning the national efforts to the International Standards of Phytosanitary Measures. In India an Agricultural Biosecurity Bill has been drafted and is under the consideration of the Government.

Optimal Strategies for Interception, Detection, and Eradication in Plant Biosecurity.

Risk analysis : an official publication of the Society for Risk Analysis, 2015
The introduction of invasive species causes damages from the economic and ecological point of view. Interception of plant pests and eradication of the established populations are two management options to prevent or limit the risk posed by an invasive species.

The Importance of Core Biological Disciplines in Plant Biosecurity

2013
Knowledge associated with biological disciplines, particularly Entomology (including Acarology), Plant Pathology (including Bacteriology, Mycology, Nematology, and Virology), Malacology, and Weed Science, is critical to understand and study pests of agriculture and natural resources. These disciplines are also “core” to plant biosecurity.

Molecular Diagnostic Techniques and Biotechnology in Plant Biosecurity

2013
Accurate identification of plant pests is essential to maintaining a successful plant biosecurity programme. Diagnostic methods and technologies used by national regulatory programmes (NPPOs), and associated laboratories for identification, are driven by method/protocol availability, taxonomy and biology of the pest, all informed by accurate reference ...

The Role of Surveillance Methods and Technologies in Plant Biosecurity

2013
Nations have designed biosecurity systems to protect their animal, plant, and environmental resources from invasion by pests. Surveillance serves as a key component of that regulatory continuum. This chapter discusses “surveillance” and touches on many topics associated with it: Sampling, detection thresholds, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and ...

The Role of Pest Risk Analysis in Plant Biosecurity

2013
The practice of risk analysis in plant quarantine is known as Pest Risk Analysis. The process is closely linked to the international regulatory framework formed by the World Trade Organization Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (the WTO-SPS Agreement) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC) with ...

Climate Change and Plant Biosecurity: Implications for Policy

2013
Projected future climates, such as increasing temperature, increasing atmospheric CO2, altered precipitation patterns and increases in the frequency of climatic extremes, are likely to alter the performance and distribution of crops as well as influence the entry, establishment and spread of invasive weeds, pests and pathogens that affect them. Climate
