Production of this manual has also been supported by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation (RIRDC). It is important to RIRDC that Australia has the capacity to take pre-emptive actions to mitigate threats posed by exotic pests. This manual, through training plant health authorities in regional countries to describe the health status of their crops, allows Australia to address pest threats at source rather than aft er they are detected in Australia. This manual will assist plant health scientists to devise surveillance programs and to transmit specimens to the laboratory for identifi cation and preservation. Countries can then begin to share results of the surveys with each other and this should lead to increasing wider cooperation in plant health research.
