Developing quarantine pest detection methods for use by national plant protection organizations (NPPO) and inspection services (QDetect)
Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
Detection methods are the first tools used by national plant protection organisations (NPPO) and inspection services in order to find incursions of quarantine plant pathogens or pests (Q-pests) across a border, a crucial step to implement Council Directive 2000/29/EC. This is often done visually in the first instance, with support from a laboratory for confirmatory testing and subsequent monitorin ...

Development of a new diagnostic tool using DNA barcoding to identify quarantine organisms in support of plant health (QBOL)
Start date: Mar 21, 2009, End date: Sep 20, 2012,
Development of accurate identification tools for plant pathogens and pests is vital to support European Plant Health Policies. For this project Council Directive 2000/29/EC is important, listing some 275 organisms for which protective measures against introduction into and their spread within the Community needs to be taken. Those threats are now greater than ever because of the increases in the v ...
