AQAS:
Pest IDSummarizes Port Interception DataSupports collection and dissemination of diagnostic results. Formerly PIN‐309 (Pest Information Network)Records exotic pests found through inspections

GPDD: Global Pest & Disease DatabaseAssembled by CPHST PERAL LabSingle repository of exotic pest information for PPQAttempt to prioritize pest threatsPest taxonomy, identification, biology, distribution, hosts, significance, detection and control.
1500+ pests not known to be in the US, or present with a limited distribution
GPDD: GoalsSupport pest risk assessmentsProvide focus on emerging pestsIdentify pests that are threatening the U.S.Orient development of risk mitigationFocus off‐shore surveysFocus port activitiesEmphasize taxonomic/diagnostic needsFocus domestic surveys for exotic pest

2. Web bases, searchable archive of notifications.

NPAG:NPAG (New Pest Advisory Group)Organized through CPHST PERAL LABUsually triggered by new pest discoveries (usually field, but also by Plant Inspection Station (PIS) reports)Experts from many areas
Mission: The New Pest Advisory Group (NPAG) assess exotic plant pests that are new or imminent threats to U.S. agriculture or the environment and recommends appropriate actions to the Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) Deputy Administrator (DA).
Recommend the collection additional information. Conduct a survey to assess geographic range, host range, or damage. Develop methods to detect, identify, control, or eradicate the pest.
Recommend action/no action. Eradicate the pest. Quarantine the infected or infested area. Evaluate biological or chemical control for pest management. Prepare and distribute educational information to the public.
Recommend that PPQ refer options and actions to other institutions, such as affected states or industries

Thoughts on data quality of the resources …
Scientific questions about biology, taxonomy, distribution, hosts, etc …GPDD, EPICA, OPIS, NPAGRigorously cite sources (scientific evidence)Put up disclaimers when data is not verified or acknowledgedVery highly reliable information
Thoughts on data quality of the resources …
Questions about trade: volumes, commodities, country of origin, seasonality …PPQ 280 databaseCBP/Customs databasesWADS
Problem is that reliability is spotty and uncertainty is high
Which is the best source?
Questions?
