Abstract: Biosecurity is about managing risks: protecting New Zealand from exotic pests and diseases that could harm our natural resources and primary industries. MPI’s Investigation & Diagnostic Centres and Response (IDC & R) directorate devotes much of its time to ensuring that new organism records come to its attention, and to following up as appropriate. This information was collected from 4 June 2015 to 10 August 2015. The plant information is held in the MPI Plant Pest Information Network (PPIN) database. Wherever possible, common names have been included. Records in this format were previously published in the now discontinued magazine Biosecurity.
