Boosting Diagnostic Capacity for Plant Production Industries

This project will provide a platform to develop and implement improved national diagnostics for key biosecurity threats by developing diagnostics that facilitate early and accurate diagnosis and rapid response to threats that impact on production and access to domestic and international markets. This will be achieved through capacity building for industry for early detection of pests and improved sensitivity of diagnostics. Industry and government responses to key threats will be tested with an aim to create maximum value to industry through better partnerships in diagnostic decision-making for biosecurity response efforts.
