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.

The Field Guide is intended to help identify pests and diseases present while the Manual has more detailed information on each pest and disease to assist in managing them.

The pests and diseases project took place from 2015-2019 and clarified the identity of the more abundant pest and disease agents and their pest status in Australian truffle orchards. The manual and field guide have been produced as a resource for Australian truffle growers to identify the risks posed by these agents and relevant details to help prevent them from affecting truffle production.

This manual on trapping guidelines for fruit flies of economic importance is based on recommendations by a multi-national group of fruit fly workers. It provides information on fruit fly survey tools to NPPOs and industry in FAO and IAEA Member States. These guidelines will be regularly updated as survey techniques continue to improve and experience is gained in fruit fly control programmes.
