Abstract
This Hotspots case study of Oc. camptorhynchus in New Zealand forms part of the wider aims and
objectives of the Hotspots project. The overall aims of the case study were:
1. To evaluate the performance of the Hotspots model as a risk analysis tool for Oc.
camptorhynchus;
2. To use and learn from the experience of the various incursions of Oc. camptorhynchus in
order to critically assess and improve the model;
3. To gain experience in using the model for risk analysis for Oc. camptorhynchus in
particular, and in so doing, also develop experience applicable to risk analysis for other
vectors of concern (Table 1); and,
4. To develop an experience and knowledge base as well as guidelines for future use of the
model in its various applications related to biosecurity, surveillance and risk assessment
and management.
