GROUP EXERCISE NO. 3.6 – <strong>PEST</strong> <strong>RISK</strong> MANAGEMENT<br />
For those pests presenting unacceptable risks, the conclusions of the pest risk<br />
assessment are used to support decisions on the strength and nature of measures to<br />
be used to reduce those risks to an acceptable level. Pest risk management, therefore,<br />
is the process of evaluating and selecting risk management options to reduce the risk<br />
of the pest(s) identified in the pest risk assessment.<br />
Mitigation measures may be applied at different stages between origin of the pathway<br />
and its final destination. A scenario diagram detailing the sequence of events between<br />
the pest’s first association with the pathway and its establishment in the <strong>PRA</strong> area<br />
helps to identify key areas where mitigation measures may be applied effectively.<br />
Outline the sequence of events that must take place for Scirtothrips aurantii to be<br />
introduced to India following importation of cut flowers from Africa. Identify points<br />
along this timeline at which mitigation measures could be applied. More boxes can be<br />
added to the diagram below if required.<br />
