Essential data. At a minimum, a determination of the potential distribution of a terrestrial pest or disease requires the following types of data: information to underpin a correct diagnosis/taxonomic identification climate data knowledge of overseas range, including native and invaded ranges. Valuable data Data on the types and range of obligate hosts or habitats is valuable for determining the potential distribution of terrestrial pests and diseases, provided it is available and incontrovertible. Secondary data Secondary data that directly affect the potential distribution of a pest or disease can be used to determine the potential area of infestation. Secondary data will only be used if all parties on the NBMCC agree and only if it is available, highly relevant and incontrovertible. Secondary data includes: insolation humidity land use vegetation cover soil type. If the secondary data are known to limit the extent of potential distribution they should be combined with the modelling output to increase the robustness of the conclusions on potential distribution. It may also be useful to analyse a number of factors to establish the timing of management actions and response arrangements (for example: it is important to undertake action within days for an outbreak of eucalyptus rust, while action may be delayed for up to 18 months with the European house borer). Such factors may include: reproductive rates dispersal capacity/dispersal pathways vector dispersal natural barriers the presence of natural enemies (predators/competitors/diseases/parasites) in Australia. Level of confidence in the essential data When providing advice to the NBMG, the NBMCC will need to advise on the level of confidence it has in the information that underpins the climate suitability map for the pest or disease species. The most accurate data available should be used. The best sources of data are: published, peer-reviewed data museum/herbarium/collection records and expert advice, properly elicited. Other sources of data that may be available are: free databases (such as ECO, GBIF, PaDIL) and internet sources, where the level of confidence ranks (highest to lowest): validated data sources with open access validated data sources without open access survey data and open access (e.g. a google search). Where data are not validated, these sources should be checked and validated where possible. The data sources listed in item 6.5(d) of this attachment should be assessed according to their confidence rati...
Essential data. At a minimum, a determination of potential distribution of an inland water disease requires the following types of data: information underpinning correct diagnosis/taxonomic identification known Australian hosts. Data on the range of hosts or habitats for determining the potential distribution of inland water diseases, provided it is available and incontrovertible known minimum and maximum temperature and salinity tolerances for the disease agent and host species surface area of the inland water, using the following features, as defined by the GEODATA TOPO 250k dataset (available from Geoscience Australia at xxx.xx.xxx.xx) lakes reservoirs rivers—perennial, noting that, in some situations, non-perennial sections of rivers may need to be incorporated into the data to be used for modelling canals and irrigation channels wetlands (equivalent to ‘swaps’ in the GEODATA TOPO 250k dataset) knowledge of overseas host and geographical ranges of the aetiological agent. Valuable data Data on reproductive abilities of the host species and pathogen. The behaviour of the infected hosts including whether they are potamodromous (migrate within fresh water only); diadromous (travel between salt and fresh water); anadromous (live in the ocean mostly, and breed in fresh water); catadromous (live in fresh water, and breed in the ocean); amphidromous (move between fresh and salt water during their life cycle, but not to breed). Secondary data Secondary data that directly affect the potential distribution of a disease can be used to determine the potential area of infection. Secondary data will only be used if all parties on the NBMCC agree and only if it is available, highly relevant and incontrovertible. Secondary data includes: spatial information on dams the hydrologic regime (water levels, flow, turbidity etc) water chemistry (oxygen levels, salinity, hardness, acidity, pollution etc). If the secondary data are known to limit the extent of potential distribution they should be combined with the modelling output to increase the robustness of the conclusions on potential distribution. It may also be useful to analyse a number of factors to establish the timing of management actions and response arrangements. Such factors may include: mechanisms of pathogen transmission knowledge of potential vectors natural barriers.

Secondary data will only be used if all parties on the NBMCC agree and only if it is available, highly relevant and incontrovertible. Secondary data includes: Knowledge of overseas hosts and geographical ranges—this can be used to infer temperature and other environmental tolerances if reliable data is not available relating to both the disease agent and potential host species. Evidence for the tolerance of a disease agent to other limiting factors, such as temperature and salinity. If secondary data are known to limit the extent of potential distribution they should be combined with the modelling output to increase the robustness of the conclusions on potential distribution.
