What is Pest Risk Analysis? • The process of evaluating biological or other scientific and economic evidence to determine whether a pest should be regulated and the strength of any phytosanitary measures to be taken against it - Glossary of phytosanitary terms, ISPM No. 5
Strategy for information gathering Why • Retrieve information on all factors / aspects • Efficiency Features • Systematic • Flexible • Documented
Categories of information • Pest • Pathway • host • country • Policy
Possible strategies • Linked to PRA format • Tables
Initiation Name Risk assessment Distribution Host plants Entry …. Risk Management Exclusion Eradication Initiation Checklists Risk assessment “Insects of N. America” “Tropical Pests of Econ. Imp.“ Records of overseas spread …. Risk Management Interception records Pesticide manuals Sources linked to PRA format

Information Sources • Comprehensive summaries of information • CABI Crop Protection Compendium • Quarantine Pests for Europe • All information from single source= impossible due to: • Rapid changes in events • Country specific information required • Some data are incomplete or vary, e.g. trade pathways • Inevitable uncertainties, e.g. climate change, markets, future crop production practices
Uncertainty • In exercise book – identify uncertainties • Where information is missing may need to make assumptions • With assumptions come uncertainty • Think how risk may change with less uncertainty
