This project aims to develop a set of genomics-based approaches for analysing new pest invasions. By producing and analysing genomic databanks for four insect pest species, including three that have recently invaded Australia, this project expects to identify invasion origins and to track new pest incursions within Australia. The project should also provide insights into pest ecology, including movement rates and population change over time. This information can enable more efficient deployment of biosecurity resources and pave the way for genomics to be used pre-emptively to stop new invasions. This can help make genomics a go-to response to new pest invasions and position Australia at the forefront of genomics-based pest biosecurity.

该项目旨在开发一套基于基因组学的方法来分析新的害虫入侵。通过制作和分析四种害虫的基因组数据库，包括最近入侵澳大利亚的三种害虫，该项目预计将确定入侵来源并追踪澳大利亚境内新的害虫入侵情况。该项目还应提供对害虫生态的洞察，包括迁移率和种群随时间的变化。这些信息可以更有效地部署生物安全资源，并为先发制人地利用基因组学阻止新的入侵铺平道路。这有助于使基因组学成为应对新的害虫入侵的首选对策，并将澳大利亚置于以基因组学为基础的害虫生物安全的前沿。
