Abstract

Quarantine plant pests are socially, economically and environmentally important due to their impact on food security, human health, global trade and crop production costs. The increase in global trade and tourism, frequent occurrence of natural disasters and climate changes have exacerbated the rate of entry, establishment and spread of plant pests regionally and globally. It has, therefore, become exigent to develop a list of pests of quarantine importance at the regional and national levels to prioritise and allocate the limited available resources to manage the associated risks. In the present study, the Technical Committee on the Formulation and Prioritisation of a Regional Priority Pest List for the Caribbean, in collaboration with the National Plant Protection Organisation of the Caribbean countries and the United States Department of Agriculture - Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA-APHIS), developed and prioritised a quarantine pest list using a multi-criteria decision-making approach. The technical committee successfully evolved the process in 2014 and 2018 and developed a list of the top 10 pests of quarantine importance for the Caribbean Region, employing the Delphi Technique (DT) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) through the assignment of criteria that are relevant to the region. The Mediterranean fruit fly ( Ceratitis capitata ), frosty pod rot ( Moniliophthora roreri ) and the tomato leaf miner ( Tuta absoluta ), listed as top quarantine pest threats, were subsequently detected in the region. This exercise guided the authorities in advance to allocate resources and to develop response plans including capacity building for surveillance and detection of priority pests. This has demonstrated the significance and appropriateness of the multi-criteria decision approach to determine priority pest lists and prepare the region for development of better management practices.

使用多标准决策方法的加勒比检疫有害生物清单Prioritisation
由于检疫性植物有害生物对粮食安全、人类健康、全球贸易和作物生产成本的影响,它们在社会、经济和环境方面具有重要意义。全球贸易和旅游业的增长、自然灾害的频繁发生和气候变化加剧了植物有害生物在区域和全球范围内的进入、建立和传播速度。因此,迫切需要在区域和国家两级编制一份具有检疫重要性的有害生物清单,以确定优先次序并分配有限的可用资源来管理相关风险。在本研究中,加勒比区域优先有害生物清单制定和优先排序技术委员会与加勒比国家国家植物保护组织和美国农业部动植物卫生检验局(USDA-APHIS)合作,采用多标准决策方法制定了一份检疫有害生物清单并确定了优先顺序。技术委员会在2014年和2018年成功地发展了这一进程,并通过分配与该地区相关的标准,采用德尔菲技术(DT)和层次分析法(AHP),制定了加勒比地区十大检疫重要性害虫清单。随后,在该地区发现了地中海果蝇(certitis capitata)、霜冻荚果腐病(Moniliophthora roreri)和番茄叶螨(Tuta absoluta),它们被列为最大的检疫害虫威胁。这项工作预先指导当局分配资源和制定应对计划,包括监测和发现重点有害生物的能力建设。这表明,在确定优先有害生物清单和为本区域制定更好的管理做法做好准备方面,采用多标准决策方法具有重要意义和适当性。
