Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE
• Phytophthora agathidicida: Soil-borne oomycete pathogen causing kauri dieback (Bradshaw et al., 2020)
• Pest detection dogs trained to locate and identify Phytophthora pathogen as quick and reliable surveillance tool (Bassett, 2016)
• The dogs can discriminate between target (P. agathidicida) and non-target (P. cinnamomi and P. multivora) scents (Carter et al., 2023)
- New biosecurity concept results in canine detection methods that have not been fully investigated
- Assess the detection accuracy of a trained dog in identifying decreasing amounts of Phytophthora agathidicida in soil samples
