State and territory diagnostic contact details for submission of suspect plant pest samples.

This project will assess protocols that deviate from the current specifications on a lot-by-lot basis, yet may provide sufficient assurance that risks are minimised within a pathway. The protocol need to be flexible enough to help facilitate the frequent import of different volumes of seeds, different species of seeds and seeds from different country of origin. Such protocols will be applicable to seed lots and may also be applicable to other commodities that require intervention.

This project focuses on investigating the behaviour of Competent Authorities in undertaking their certification role and provides guidance on whether Australian border inspection policies should be modified in response. The analysis involves interviews with stakeholders, analysis of import inspection data and insights from economic theory. Two aquatic-animal pathways are used in the analysis, but methodology and findings are likely apply across a range of other pathways.

The main objective of this project is to develop a better understanding of the patterns of ant arrivals to New Zealand. The project aims to predict risk in relation to sites, and in particular transitional facilities, where ants are more likely to arrive. The development of such risk profiles will enable scientifically defensible rationale to select sites for targeted surveillance within the NIAS program.

The primary objective of the project was to develop a pragmatic, reproducible and transparent model for estimating risk in countries that are currently not reporting the presence of BMSB.

The aim of this project is to develop approaches, methodologies and tools that assist the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources better understand the risk profile of its clients operating within import pathways (commodities) to determine where to allocate resources and tailor strategies to best target risk.

The report describes an economic assessment of a proposed program to offer OIE-compliant compartmentalisation to producers in Australian animal production industries, with a focus on export-oriented poultry enterprises.

The pest & disease preparedness manual outlines the 6 main pathways through which pests/diseases spread onto your farm and what measures you can take to reduce any associated risks.

This project aimed to improve the capacity of Lao and Cambodian crop protection and plant quarantine staff in plant disease diagnosis and plant biosecurity.

The guidelines give general information on the distribution and biology of the pest, followed by technical details of what needs to be included in prevention, preparedness and response
plans for FAW.
