Development of a DSS to support action at outbreaks

This project details the development and review of a DSS to enhance action during outbreaks, incorporating key elements highlighted by workshops and guidelines. The DSS includes feasibility factors appraisal, a comparison matrix, and decision-making guidance. The scheme will undergo finalization, testing, and validation at upcoming workshops.

  1. Development of a DSS to support action at outbreaks

  2. Drafting and review process • Initial drafting considered: • Outcomes/important factors highlighted by the EPPO Workshop on eradication, containment and contingency planning (Nova Gorica, Slovenia) • EPPO PM9/10 Generic elements for contingency plans • ISPM No. 9 Guidelines for pest eradication programmes • The review of eradication and containment campaigns (5.1): Therese Pluess et al. • UKNon-Native Risk Analysis Scheme (UKNNRA) developed by a consortium of GB institutes

  3. Development of the DSS • Over the consultation process – evolved into a checklist type scheme. • However, other school of thought was that quantitative/semi quantitative approach was useful and was necessary to fit the remit of WP5.3 • A 1-day small Panel meeting was held with pest risk managers at EPPO HQ in February to resolve fundamental aspects of the DSS approach. • The draft was developed further at the Windsor Pratique meeting in March, following which it was sent for a consultation and testing phase. • The new draft is intended to be a generic, semi quantitative guide to appraise the feasibility of control measures

  4. DSS approach: 3 components: • 1. Appraisal of key feasibility factors to aid decision making for candidate measures • Includes Persistence; re-invasion; pathways, spread and biological characteristics; time; delimitation; practicalities / operational factors; enforcement and compliance

  5. 2. A comparison matrix • This is to develop aspects of feasibility, efficacy, costs and safety.

  6. 3. Guidance for decision making steps • Uses simple guidance tables to aid with the appraisal process in both the feasibility section and comparison matrix.

  7. Work plan to complete the DSS • The Pratique breakout discussions in September will finalize the DSS draft. Pest risk managers will run further pest examples through the scheme • Final refinement and drafting to form a user friendly layout and functionality • Final testing will be carried out at the EPPO Workshop on Eradication (26-28th Oct) in Trévise (IT) for final validation
