CAPRA (Computer Assisted Pest Risk Analysis)

CAPRA (Computer Assisted Pest Risk Analysis) is a computer software which has been developed by the EPPO Secretariat in the framework of the European Union 7th framework program protect PRATIQUE (Grant agreement No 212 459) and with the support of the EPPO Panels. This software aims to assist pest risk analysts in running the EPPO decision-support scheme for Pest Risk Analysis (EPPO Standard PM 5/3(5) Decision-support scheme for quarantine pests), and other decision-support schemes. The software can be downloaded from the website. The lack of data is a major challenge in pest risk analysis (PRA) worldwide. In order to identify appropriate sources of information, several projects have been launched with the objective of assembling datasets that contain information useful for pest risk analysts. Datasets resulting from two projects can also be downloaded from the dedicated site.
