Biosecurity Research specialises in developing biosecurity preparedness response plans, systems, training and exercises.
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESEARCH
Biosecurity Research has expertise in epidemiological research into pest and disease outbreaks, and investigating factors affecting productivity, particularly in association with plant based industries.
Biosecurity preparedness example
Red imported fire ant (RIFA) exercise scenario developed to train biosecurity operational responders and estimate resource requirements for movement controls, surveillance and organism management
Epidemiological research example
Quantification of productivity impacts and identification of risk factors for the development of kiwifruit bacterial blight caused by an outbreak in New Zealand of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae
