This standard provides guidancefor the establishment of pest free areas for fruit flies (Tephritidae) of economic importance, and for the maintenance of their pest free status.

The National Forest Biosecurity Surveillance Strategy has been designed to complement and address aspects of the National Plant Biosecurity Strategy, the National Plant Biosecurity Surveillance Strategy and the National Plant Biosecurity Diagnostic Strategy for the forest biosecurity sector.

The principles of the National Citrus Biosecurity Surveillance Strategy are to maximise efficiencies of surveillance efforts by integrating and connecting surveillance amongst stakeholders.

These guidelines were written to assist plant-health scientists design surveillance programs for detecting arthropod pests and plant pathogens in crops, plantation forests and natural ecosystems.

This Framework recognises that there is an initial need to effectively gather together and engage the multitude of stakeholders in the forest sector in order to drive fair investment in forest biosecurity.

Provides background information on brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys, to assist in determining requirements for the initial response to a detection of this exotic stink bug in Australia.

This standard describes a diagnostic protocol for Xylella fastidiosa. It should be used in conjunction with PM 7/76 Use of EPPO diagnostic protocols.

The National Plant Biosecurity Surveillance Strategy (NPBSS) is a sub-strategy of the National Plant Biosecurity Strategy (NPBS) aiming to improve the management and coordination of plant pest surveillance activities in Australia. The development and implementation of this strategy is a significant step towards meeting the expectations of the plant pest surveillance aspects of the NPBS and overarching principles of the Intergovernmental Agreement on Biosecurity (IGAB).

The Annual Surveillance Workshop 2018 was held 19-21 March 2018 at the Adelaide Convention Centre, Adelaide, South Australia.

The National Citrus Biosecurity Surveillance Strategy (NCBSS) has been developed to provide a framework for national coordination and implementation of surveillance activities carried out by government and industry for exotic citrus pests and pests of market access concern.
