Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus And Its Management, Lindrea Latham, Roger Jones
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In 1993, western flower thrips, an important pest of horticultural crops, was found in Western Australia. Since then there has been an upsurge in damsging virus disease epidemics caused by tomato spotter wilt virus in horticultural crops. This has occurred because western flower thrips is a more effective vector of tomato spotted wilt virus than other thrips species. Lindrea Latham and Roger Jones outline the symptoms, spread and management of this serious virus disease in vegetables and ornamentals.

Sturt Pea Hosts Collar Rot Fungus, M D. Marcley
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Evidence that Western Australia's Sturt Pea can be attacked by collar rot fungus suggests a reason for the occurrence of collar rot in places where the fungus should not survive.
At Carnarvon for instance, in spite of the hot, dry conditions, the collar rot fungus has been found on eggplants and Tuart trees.

Such diseases as foot and mouth and blue tongue would cost Australia a tremendous amount of money if they became established here.
Just how Australia protects itself against the introduction of exotic diseases is described by Veterinary Surgeon, R. K. Kent, M.R.C.V.S., in this article .
