摘要：Australia's quarantine policy is based on the concept of manageable risk, which isunderpinned by quarantine risk analysis, which this article examines withparticular reference to recommendations of the 1996 Australian QuarantineReview. Quarantine risk assessment addresses disease concerns associated with anyparticular proposed import and may also require detailed examination of possibleeconomic and environmental e.ects. The degree of quanti￠cation varies, and morequantitative approaches may be either deterministic or stochastic. Assessmentsconsider both the probability of an event occurring and its consequences, includingthe direct economic e.ect of any introduction of an exotic disease.
