“…the repeated eradication of the Colorado beetle in the United Kingdom; Bartlett 1979). Nonetheless, there is a strong need to improve the decision-making process in plant protection in both economic and ecological environments and especially for newly emerging pest species (Opstal and Sunley 2009). In particular, the following four hypotheses were tested: (i) A rapid response to a pest incursion increases the chances of eradication success.…”

When are eradication campaigns successful? A test of common assumptions

Eradication aims at eliminating populations of alien organisms from an area. Since not all eradications are successful, several factors have been proposed in the literature (mainly by referring to case studies) to be crucial for eradication success, such as infestation size or reaction time. To our knowledge, however, no study has statistically evaluated which factors affect eradication success and attempted to determine their relative importance. We established a unique global dataset on 136 eradication campaigns against 75 species (invasive alien invertebrates, plants and plant pathogens) and statistically tested whether the following factors, proposed by others were significantly related to eradication success: (1) the reaction time between the arrival/detection of the organism and the start of the eradication campaign; (2) the spatial extent of the infestation; (3) the level of biological knowledge of the organism; and (4) insularity. Of these, only the spatial extent of the infestation was significantly related to the eradication outcome: local campaigns were more successful than regional or national campaigns. Reaction time, the level of knowledge and insularity were all unrelated to eradication success. Hence, some factors suggested as being crucial may be less important than previously thought, at least for the organisms tested here. We found no differences in success rates among taxonomic groups or geographic regions. We recommend that eradication measures should generally concentrate on the very early phase of invasions when infestations are still relatively small.

“…At this workshop, pest risk managers from different countries exchanged experiences in dealing with outbreak situations and identified factors that were felt to be key in determining success or failure. These fell into three main categories: the biological traits of the pest; the assessment of costs associated with the outbreak and the cost/benefits of actions; and operational constraints (van Opstal & Sunley, 2009).…”

The decision‐support scheme (DSS) for action at outbreaks developed under PRATIQUE (Enhancements of Pest Risk Analysis Techniques) brings together a set of guidance and tools, using the CAPRA application. The DSS is initiated by the collation of key information on the current outbreak situation, and then compares candidate measures in order to derive a strategy for action and/or contingency. It is hoped that this deliverable will assist national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to address and justify eradication campaigns effectively. The rationale behind the DSS and its key features are presented and discussed.

“…If governments assume all the costs of disease control, producers may have little incentive to expend resources to reduce the risks involved with an incursion (Ceddia et al, 2008). Thus, disease eradication and management programmes have incorporated provisions that assign costs to encourage producers to take precautions to prevent disease incursions (Goodwin & Piggott, 2009;Van Opstal & Sunley, 2009).…”

Ability of governments to take actions to confront incursions of diseases – a case study: citrus canker in Florida

When governments take actions under their police powers to prevent incursions of diseases, they may damage or destroy private property and a question arises of who should pay for property losses. A court in Florida concluded that the state needed to pay for property destroyed under a citrus canker eradication programme. Because this interpretation of the Florida Constitution's Just Compensation Clause makes it more difficult to administer a successful eradication programme, governments and scientists, working with industry, may want to develop a more comprehensive accounting of scientific data and procedures that justify an eradication programme's actions. This paper identifies three problems regarding Florida's efforts to eradicate citrus canker so that scientists, affected industries, and governments can employ an objective reassessment mechanism to support their actions without legal interference.
