Diagnostics Research Program Image

Outcome

Identification: World-class biosecurity capability for early identification of plant biosecurity threats.

Goal

A world-class biosecurity capability for early identification of plant biosecurity incursions in Australia through provision of data, expertise and diagnostic technology that is accurate, sensitive, reliable and cost-effective.

Indicators of success

Economics:

New diagnostic tools to improve responsiveness to plant biosecurity incursion events.

Science:

World recognised protocols for rapid identification of harmful pests and diseases are developed and published in international journals.

Policy: 

Databases and new tools to share diagnostic information are standardised.

Protocols for plant biosecurity threats are developed and submitted to the Subcommittee on Plant Health Diagnostic Standards.

Capacity/Collaboration:

Improved diagnostics transferred to end-users to support monitoring and market access activities.

Impact/Adoption:

New diagnostic information (services, protocols and expertise) are accessed by end-users via internet systems.
 

Strategic Objectives: 

To undertake research that will provide rapid identification of plant biosecurity threats in order to decrease the cost of eradication and impacts through rapid response.
