A biological attack on U.S. crops poses significant risks. Enhancing plant pathogen forensics is crucial for national security and attribution following intentional introductions.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Science
  • Plant Pathology
  • Microbial Forensics

Background:

  • Biological attacks on U.S. agriculture threaten yield, quality, economy, and environment.
  • Current agricultural strategies prioritize natural disease prevention over intentional pathogen response.
  • Microbial forensics and criminal attribution are vital components of national security for bioterror events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess existing information, technologies, and resources for postintroduction plant pathogen forensics.
  • To identify capabilities that can be repurposed from plant health strategies for forensic applications.
  • To provide recommendations for enhancing plant pathogen forensics capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current plant health technologies and resources.

  • Assessment of applicability for microbial forensics and attribution.
  • Analysis of existing information and data relevant to intentional pathogen introductions.

    • Main Results:

    • Many plant health tools can be adapted for pathogen forensics.
    • Gaps exist in current capabilities for intentional pathogen attribution.
    • Prioritization of efforts and resources is needed to strengthen forensics.

    Conclusions:

    • Existing plant health infrastructure can support microbial forensics.
    • Enhanced preparedness is necessary to address intentional plant pathogen introductions.
    • Strategic investment is required to bolster national plant pathogen forensics capabilities.
