Protecting islands from pest invasion: optimal allocation of biosecurity resources between quarantine and surveillance

2010-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Removing pests from islands, and then keeping them pest free, is a common management goal. Given that goal we face a decision: how much effort should we invest in quarantine to reduce the risk of a pest arriving vs. surveillance, looking for the pest on the island with the view of eradicating it before it gets out of control. We use models of an island under threat of invasion by a pest (animal, plant or disease)...
