Australian Plant Pest Database

The Australian Plant Pest Database (APPD) is a national, online database of pests and diseases of Australia’s economically important plants, providing the rapid location of voucher specimens and efficient retrieval of detailed data.
With access to over 18 existing plant pest collections (‘contributing databases’) the APPD has access to over one million pest voucher specimens making it possible to quickly retrieve details of insects, nematodes, fungi, bacteria and viruses that affect plants of economic and ecological significance.
This information provides a powerful tool to assist bids for market access and to justify measures to exclude potentially harmful, exotic organisms, help in emergency plant pest management, and support relevant research activities.

澳大利亚植物有害生物数据库（Australian Plant Pest Database，APPD）是面向澳大利亚经济重要性植物的国家级在线有害生物与病害数据库，可实现凭证标本的快速定位与详细数据的高效检索。该数据库整合了18个现有植物有害生物馆藏资源（即"供稿数据库"），拥有超百万份有害生物凭证标本的访问权限，可快速检索危害兼具经济与生态重要性植物的昆虫、线虫、真菌、细菌及病毒的详细信息。该数据库提供的信息可作为强有力的支撑工具，既可助力市场准入申请、为防控潜在有害外来生物的措施提供合理性论证，也能为植物有害生物应急管理提供支持，并助力相关科研活动的开展。
