Quantifying the potential impact of the European wasp (Vespula germanica) on ecosystem services in Western Australia
This paper estimates the ecosystem services return on investment in government control of the introduced European wasp (Vespula germanica) in the state of Western Australia. The predictive model used accounts for uncertainties in the spread and impact of V. germanica on provisioning ecosystem…

Potential future economic impact of Vespula germanica (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in South Africa
The potential economic effects of the introduced German wasp, Vespula germanica (Fabricius), on fruit and vegetable industries and households in South Africa were estimated over several decades if it continues to spread. The model described was used to simulate impacts on horticulture and wine…

A benefit–cost analysis of different response scenarios to COVID‐19: A case study
Abstract Background This paper compares the direct benefits to the State of Western Australia from employing a “suppression” policy response to the COVID‐19 pandemic rather than a “herd immunity” approach. Methods An S‐I‐R (susceptible‐infectious‐resolved) model is used to estimate the likely…

Biosecurity and yield improvement technologies are strategic complements in the fight against food insecurity.
The delivery of food security via continued crop yield improvement alone is not an effective food security strategy, and must be supported by pre- and post-border biosecurity policies to guard against perverse outcomes. In the wake of the green revolution, yield gains have been in steady decline…

Linking climate suitability, spread rates and host-impact when estimating the potential costs of invasive pests.
Biosecurity agencies need robust bioeconomic tools to help inform policy and allocate scarce management resources. They need to estimate the potential for each invasive alien species (IAS) to create negative impacts, so that relative and absolute comparisons can be made. Using pine processionary…

Potential Economic Impact of Grapevine Phylloxera (Hemiptera: Phylloxeridae) on Western Australian Winegrapes
Grapevine phylloxera Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch (Hemiptera: Phylloxeridae) has been present in Australia for almost 150 years but has not spread to south-west Western Australia, in part due to the relative isolation of the region. Recent improvements in tourist access, with interstate flights…

Ultraviolet-C-based sanitization is a cost-effective option for hospitals to manage health care-associated infection risks from high touch mobile phones
Mobile phones have become essential tools for health care workers around the world, but as high touch surfaces, they can harbor microorganisms that pose infection risks to patients and staff. As their use in hospitals increases, hospital managers must introduce measures to sanitize mobile phones…

Predicting the benefits of banana bunchy top virus exclusion from commercial plantations in Australia.
Benefit cost analysis is a tried and tested analytical framework that can clearly communicate likely net changes in producer welfare from investment decisions to diverse stakeholder audiences. However, in a plant biosecurity context, it is often difficult to predict policy benefits over time due to…
