Experimental protocols for estimation of pest survey parameters

Objectives: The "Experimental protocols for estimation of pest survey parameters" grant aims to develop and validate experimental and statistical protocols to estimate key survey parameters—Method Sensitivity, Relative Risk, and Design Prevalence—essential for designing delimiting surveys of EU priority pests. The project seeks to enable EU Member States to conduct robust and risk-based pest surveys by providing systematic guidelines and tools for estimating these parameters. The ultimate goal is to assist in the planning and execution of effective surveillance measures for plant health protection.
