Biosecurity is one of our nation's premier concerns since September 11, 2001. This concern not only includes defending the nation from direct attacks to people, but also from: 1) attacks that attempt to disrupt America's ability to feed itself and the world, and 2) unintentional events that could have the same devastating effects. A single plant or animal disease outbreak not brought quickly into check could drastically affect our ability to keep our animals and plants healthy. Furthermore, an outbreak even on a very limited scale could undermine consumer confidence in the food supply if it is mishandled. CSREES and its land-grant university partners play a major role in helping to monitor and prevent such outbreaks.
