Biosecurity Strategies

Course modified date: 29 Nov 2022
Biosecurity Strategies Significant outbreaks of disease are among the highest impact risks faced by any society – threatening lives and causing disruption to public services and the economy. 
Large scale disease outbreaks in animals or plants can be equally significant in terms of economic, environmental and social impact.
These are threats that are not constrained by international borders. In our ever more interconnected world, diseases that emerge in one country can soon prove a global threat – either directly where disease spreads or by destabilising already vulnerable regions.
The Biosecurity strategy notes the importance of ensuring that we can rely on the right
science capabilities in this field. The world- leading capabilities within Governments and
in industry and academia need to be sustained for the future.
