Quarantine effectiveness!! (1 Viewer)

[ren9984]

We just got a Biology assignment and the last question to answer is

"Process and analyse information from secondary sources to evaluate the effectiveness or quarantine in preventing the spread of at least ONE plant and at least ONE animal disease into Australia or across the regions of Australia. "

I have no idea what to write Please help

Pick a plant and animal disease. For example with plants you might want to choose phytopthora or huanglongbing or wheat stem rust, or with animals you might want to investigate varroa mites. Then you'll need to find some articles that talk about quarantine efforts to contain these diseases. Not the raw scientific papers which run experiments (this is a primary source) but rather articles which review primary sources. The department of agriculture and livestock often publishes easy to read articles on the diseases i mentioned above for farmers.
