biosecurity built on science
Problem being addressed
Optimal surveillance design
(what’s the best way to look for something you don’t want to find)
biosecurity built on science
Problem being addressed
 What is the best design for a surveillance
system?
- Number of samples (traps etc)
- Location of sampling
- Frequency of sampling
biosecurity built on science
General methods  specific applications
 Three case studies
- Grape phylloxera
- PCN
- Fruit fly

High virulenceLow virulence
High suitability
Medium suitability
Low suitability
biosecurity built on science
Grape phylloxera
 Standard
 ↑↓ Density
 Target high
suitability soil

Grape phylloxera results
biosecurity built on science
Grape phylloxera results
 Surveillance design based on soil types
- More efficient
 Sampling density
- Relatively minor effect
 Low virulent genotypes in low suitability
conditions
- Many, many years before detection

Movement
Fresh Seed
PCN
biosecurity built on science
Spread simulations
Infested Detected
- Predict spread under
different surveillance
strategies

PCN results

PCN summary
 Survey density ↑
- ↓ infested properties
 Survey arrangement
(with fixed density)
- variation between
strategies

NZ MPI: Q-fly case study
 Data from 2015 Q-fly
incursion
 Analysis of surveillance
to confirm eradication
biosecurity built on science
Open questions and next steps
 Practicality and adoption of designs?
 Ease of use (training module for fruit fly)
 Ease of generalisation
- to new locations, species, organisms, situations…
 Effects of biology and spread?
 Effects of better detection?
- Better traps (sooner, longer distances, mobile, adaptive)
- Better sampling/diagnostic methods
