In order to limit the number and impact of exotic pest invasions, leading-edge technologies must be embraced and embedded within integrated national and international biosecurity systems. Outlined here are recent advances in the detection of exotic pests, and prospects for the early recognition of disease. Applications of new tools are described, using our understanding of the genomes of pathogens and vectors. In addition, the role of mathematical and simulation models to aid both biosecurity planning, and decision making in the face of an epidemic, are discussed, and recent attempts to unify epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics are outlined. Given the importance of emerging diseases and zoonoses, the need to align human and veterinary surveillance within fully integrated systems is underlined.
为了限制外来有害生物入侵的数量和影响，必须采用前沿技术并将其融入国家和国际综合生物安全体系。本文概述了外来有害生物检测的最新进展以及疾病早期识别的前景。利用我们对病原体和病媒基因组的了解，描述了新工具的应用。此外，还讨论了数学和模拟模型在生物安全规划以及应对疫情时的决策方面所起的作用，并概述了最近将流行病学与进化动力学统一起来的尝试。鉴于新发疾病和人畜共患病的重要性，强调了在完全整合的系统中协调人类和兽医监测的必要性。
