Environmental DNA Technologies for Rapid Detection and Identification of Avocado Priority Pests
The ability to rapidly and accurately detect priority pests and diseases in the field is critical to the success of a biosecurity response. The aim of this project is to develop environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies for the rapid detection and identification of priority pests for the avocado industry.
Innovation in field and lab-based testing techniques will improve the ability of the avocado industry, and those undertaking surveillance activities, to quickly and accurately identify pest incursion threats in a cost-effective manner.
