Surveillance and sampling to maintain absence of pests and diseases

该项目旨在为工业和政府开发经验验证的统计和数学方法，以提供更有效的生物安全监测计划。该项目致力于加强边境和澳大利亚境内的生物安全，同时最大限度地减少检测的成本和负担。项目的预期成果包括对高度优先威胁进行有效监测和取样，为决策者提供可用的软件，以及应对迅速增加的生物安保风险的可推广方法。显著的好处包括保持澳大利亚没有主要病原体和害虫。

This project aims to develop empirically validated statistical and mathematical methods for industry and government to deliver more efficient biosecurity surveillance programs. The project endeavours to enhance biosecurity at the border and within Australia, while minimising the costs and burden of testing. Expected project outcomes include effective surveillance and sampling for high-priority threats, accessible software for decision-makers, and generalisable approaches to address rapidly increasing biosecurity risks. Significant benefits include maintaining absence of key pathogens and pests in Australia.
