CABI produces unique databases that contain key information pertaining to agricultural production and biosecurity. There is no comparable provider that collates, evaluates, and organizes the information contained in these databases in an easily searchable format offered as a single resource collection. APHIS has long maintained paid subscriptions to several databases produced by CABI. Currently these are: CABI Compendium (includes eight channels: Crop Protection, Invasive Species, Forestry, Horticulture, Seedborne Pests, Animal Health and Production, Aquaculture, Food Safety and Quality) Descriptions of Fungi and Bacteria Distribution Maps of Plant Diseases Distribution Maps of Plant Pests All CABI databases subscriptions support the APHIS mission in the following ways: CABI databases are essential resources for obtaining background information on pests and diseases and learning about disease incidence and distribution of pests and pathogens. They are essential to the work of Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) laboratory scientists and risk analysts with PPQ’s Science & Technology-Plant Pest Risk Analysis program. Staff members use information and data obtained from CABI databases to provide essential scientific support to risk-based policymaking across a broad range of phytosanitary issues. PPQ relies on CABI database to formulate regulations for import/export and domestic pest and disease management programs, identify and assess new threats, monitor the effectiveness of existing programs, and optimize available resources to enhance protection. Similarly, Veterinary Services and Wildlife Services staff, whose work deals with animals, aquaculture, or forestry, use this information to conduct risk assessments, write surveillance plans and emerging disease notices, and monitor disease conditions worldwide. ## Publications - April 15, 2024: Special notice, due April 18, 2024 at 1:00 PM EDT.
