Guidance on quantitative pest risk assessment. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2018
This Guidance describes a two-phase approach for a fit-for-purpose method for the assessment of plant pest risk in the territory of the EU. Phase one consists of pest categorisation to determine whether the pest has the characteristics of a quarantine pest or those of a regulated non-quarantine pest for the area of the EU.

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in quantitative pest risk assessments; practical rules for risk assessors [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2013
Quantitative models have several advantages compared to qualitative methods for pest risk assessments (PRA). Quantitative models do not require the definition of categorical ratings and can be used to compute numerical probabilities of entry and establishment, and to quantify spread and impact.

Inventory and review of quantitative models for spread of plant pests for use in pest risk assessment for the EU territory [PDF]

EFSA Supporting Publications, 2015
Robust modelling tools for predicting the spread and dispersal of plant pests are required for effective risk assessment of the impact of both novel and existing pests in the EU. The ongoing project OC/EFSA/PLH/2012/01 reviews the current state of the art in pest spread modelling to evaluate the fitness of alternative modelling strategies for various ...

Semi-quantitative risk assessment of peste des petits ruminants introduction with wild animals into Russian Federation

Veterinary Science Today, 2021
The Russian Federation was officially recognized free from peste des petitts ruminants (PPR). As far as the disease infects both domestic and wild small ruminants, it is important to identify the level of the threat associated with the wild fauna diversity in the neighboring countries, where PPR outbreaks were reported.

A Suite of Models to Support the Quantitative Assessment of Spread in Pest Risk Analysis

PLoS ONE, 2012
Los Análisis de Riesgo de Plagas (pra) se llevan a cabo en todo el mundo para decidir si y cómo deben regularse las plagas de plantas exóticas para evitar la invasión. Existe una creciente demanda de mapeo de riesgos basado en la ciencia en pra. La propagación juega un papel clave en la determinación de la distribución potencial de las plagas, pero no ...

Invasive alien species in the food chain : advancing risk assessment models to address climate change, economics and uncertainty [PDF]

, 2013
Economic globalization depends on the movement of people and goods between countries. As these exchanges increase, so does the potential for translocation of harmful pests, weeds, and pathogens capable of impacting our crops, livestock and natural ...

The EFSA quantitative approach to pest risk assessment – methodological aspects and case studies

EPPO Bulletin, 2017
A new method for pest risk assessment and the identification and evaluation of risk‐reducing options is currently under development by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Plant Health Panel. The draft method has been tested on pests of concern to the European Union (EU).

Migrant Farmworkers\u27 Perceptions of Pesticide Risk Exposure in Adams County, Pennsylvania: A Cultural Risk Assessment [PDF]

, 2018
Agricultural exceptionalism, a system in which regular labor laws and standards do not apply to farm labor, makes migrant farmworkers particularly vulnerable populations—economically, socially, and in terms of environmental health.
