  • Title: Advances in biosecurity to 2010 and beyond: towards integrated detection, analysis and response to exotic pest invasions.
    Author: French NP, Gemmell NJ, Buddle BM.
    Journal: N Z Vet J; 2007 Dec; 55(6):255-63. PubMed ID: 18059642.
    Abstract:
    In order to limit the number and impact of exotic pest invasions, leading-edge technologies must be embraced and embedded within integrated national and international biosecurity systems. Outlined here are recent advances in the detection of exotic pests, and prospects for the early recognition of disease. Applications of new tools are described, using our understanding of the genomes of pathogens and vectors. In addition, the role of mathematical and simulation models to aid both biosecurity planning, and decision making in the face of an epidemic, are discussed, and recent attempts to unify epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics are outlined. Given the importance of emerging diseases and zoonoses, the need to align human and veterinary surveillance within fully integrated systems is underlined.
