الملخص:The agricultural species that form the basis of the economies of most of the countries of the world have been largely introduced from other areas, clearly demonstrating that importation of alien species is not inherently detrimental at least from the human standpoint. However, many pests have been transported around the globe as well and cause a great amount of damage. It is estimated that the loss caused by invasive species globally is about US$1.4 1012 or 5% of the world gross national product (Pimentel et al., 2007). Although tens of thousands of species have invaded other lands, millions have not. Undoubtedly a great many potentially invasive species could cause significant economic and ecological damage to the diverse countries of the world. Phytosanitation aims to keep that damage and the number of new invasive species as low as possible through regulation of trade of items that could carry invasive species. But these requirements are a primary impediment to international trade, a key and growing component of most economies (Fig. 1.1). Mumford (2002) points out that domestic consumers ultimately pay for quarantine restrictions in higher prices for quarantined goods while domestic producers of those goods or, we might add, reasonable replacements for them, benefit.
