The Role of Surveillance Methods and Technologies in Plant Biosecurity

Nations have designed biosecurity systems to protect their animal, plant, and environmental resources from invasion by pests. Surveillance serves as a key component of that regulatory continuum. This chapter discusses “surveillance” and touches on many topics associated with it: Sampling, detection thresholds, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and cyberinfrastructure.
