Beschreibung:
Biosecurity: A Systems Perspective provides an overview of biosecurity as a system of related components, actors and risks. This book - directed to the biosecurity practitioner, generalist scientist and student - introduces overall features of the biosecurity system while walking the reader through the most up-to-date research on each step of the continuum (i.e. pre-border, border and post-border activities). This book, which explicitly incorporates economic and social dimensions as well as varied decision-making contexts, paves the way for a more systemic approach to biosecurity risk management. The work spans statistics, ecology, mathematics, economics, veterinary science, human medicine and sociology, involving collaborators across government, academia and the private sector.
