Cost benefits
Cost benefits
Research Question
- An understanding of the unintended consequences and indirect costs of a control strategy, both economic and environmental costs
Research Gaps and Challenges
- A poor understanding cost-benefits in the context of wildlife control
- Acquiring resources to conduct long-term outbreak management exercises
- Standardizing and benchmarking surveillance methods to establish comparability across labs/regions/host species
- Demonstrating the benefit of control measures when often wildlife and agricultural control is far removed from members of the public
Solution Routes
- Assessments of socioeconomic effects (including environmental impact) of current control strategies
- Developing models to evaluate the socioeconomic effects of alternative strategies
Dependencies
- Standard methodology for economic assessment on a global scale
- Consideration for the ecological impacts of control (e.g. use of disinfectants) and the health impacts of spillback itself
