WASHINGTON —
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) has launched a new “Pests and Diseases” webpage. The new page lists all
pest and disease programs managed by APHIS as part of its mission to protect
American agriculture and natural resources.
On the new
page, users can search by type (plant, animal), keyword (avian, fruit fly,
cotton), or by the specific pest or disease (coconut rhinoceros beetle,
brucellosis). You can also scroll through the page, which lists the pests and
diseases alphabetically and includes a corresponding image.
APHIS
created the webpage to make it easier for its customers to find critical
information on pests and diseases of concern. With this tool, members of the
public will have the information they need to report pests and diseases and
together we can protect America’s agriculture and natural resources.
To visit the
page, go to www.aphis.usda.gov/pests-and-diseases or click the Pests and
Diseases link under the Resources tab on the APHIS homepage.
