With climate change and increasing globalisation of trade and travel,
the risks presented by invasive pests and pathogens to natural
environments, agriculture and economies have never been greater, and
are only increasing with time. Governments world-wide are responding
to these increased threats by strengthening quarantine and
biosecurity. This book presents a comprehensive review of risk-based
techniques that help policy makers and regulators protect national
interests from invasive pests and pathogens before, at, and inside
national borders. Selected from the research corpus of the Centre of
Excellence for Biosecurity Risk Analysis at the University of
Melbourne, this book provides solutions that reflect scientific rigour
coupled with practical, hands-on applications. Focusing on
surveillance, stochastic modelling, intelligence gathering, decision
making and risk communication, the contents combine the strengths of
risk analysts, mathematicians, economists, biologists and
statisticians. The book presents tested scientific solutions to the
greatest challenges faced by quarantine and biosecurity policy makers
and regulators today.
