Subcommittee for Plant Health Diagnostics (SPHD)

• Facilitate the development of a diagnostic capability and capacity for all High Priority Pests

• Develop and recommend national standard processes relating to plant pest diagnostics

• Promote and facilitate the development of National Diagnostic Protocols (NDPs) for EPPs and endemic pests of national significance

• The National Plant Biosecurity Network (NBPDN) (http://plantbiosecuritydiagnostics.net.au/)- SPHD Reference Standard No. 2: “Development of Diagnostic Protocols Instructions to Authors”

• PHC recommended closer links between SPHD and SNPHS

Research Impact – an end user’s perspective:

• 4 (plus!!!) National Diagnostic Protocols

• Science Capability• 9 scientists (post docs and PhD aligned with PBCRC2156)• Re-established Plant Bacteriology capability in Australia

• Peer reviewed science• The diagnostic pipeline• Diagnostic tools are/will be published • In country validation (surveys)

• Smart Surveillance Tools • LAMP vs RPA vs ????• SNPHS
