QPD integrates global quarantine regulations with biological, multi-omics, and spatial data for 9849 regulated pest taxa, including 1,311,846 DNA barcode sequences.
- Why it matters: Regulatory status, biology, distribution, and molecular resources for quarantine pests are scattered across sources, limiting in-depth pest risk assessment and biosecurity research.
- What they did: The open-access Quarantine Pest Database (QPD) compiles official quarantine lists, phytosanitary notifications, and distribution records spanning 231 countries and regions, plus multi-omics and habitat suitability modeling.
- The result: QPD provides standardized pest entries and tools for interactive retrieval, DNA barcode searching, distribution visualization, and 21,747 habitat suitability maps for 4,350 pests under historical and future climate conditions.
