Biosecurity Measures: Safeguarding Public Health and Biodiversity
Received Date: Aug 03, 2024 / Published Date: Sep 02, 2024
Abstract
Biosecurity measures are critical for protecting public health, agriculture, and biodiversity from harmful biological agents, including infectious diseases and invasive species. This article examines the key components of effective biosecurity, such as surveillance and monitoring, risk assessment, quarantine protocols, vaccination, public education, regulatory frameworks, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Despite their importance, challenges such as resource limitations, globalization, public compliance, and emerging threats hinder effective implementation. Case studies, including the management of avian influenza and invasive species like Asian carp, illustrate successful biosecurity strategies. The article emphasizes the need for continued investment in research, strengthening public health systems, fostering international collaboration, and promoting sustainable practices to enhance biosecurity in a rapidly changing world
