Les for\u00eats constituent un \u00e9l\u00e9ment essentiel du tissu culturel, social et \u00e9conomique du Canada. Leur fibre alimente l’industrie foresti\u00e8re, cr\u00e9ant des emplois et de la richesse. Elles jouent un r\u00f4le environnemental cl\u00e9, purifiant notre air et notre eau, emmagasinant le carbone et fournissant un habitat \u00e0 la faune. Toutefois, des esp\u00e8ces exotiques envahissantes comme le longicorne asiatique, la maladie hollandaise de l\u2019orme, l’encre des ch\u00eanes rouges et la spongieuse rose menacent nos for\u00eats. Elles causent des dommages \u00e9ventuellement irr\u00e9versibles aux environnements naturels et urbains et entra\u00eenent des co\u00fbts estim\u00e9s \u00e0 800 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
La plupart de ces menaces ne sont pas indig\u00e8nes au Canada, mais arrivent par l’interm\u00e9diaire du parcours des biens import\u00e9s. La meilleure mani\u00e8re de les combattre consiste \u00e0 les d\u00e9tecter d\u00e8s que possible gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la biosurveillance, pour \u00eatre en mesure de les \u00e9liminer avant qu’elles s’\u00e9tablissent. Richard Hamelin de l’Universit\u00e9 de la Colombie-Britannique, Cameron Duff de l\u2019Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments et Ilga Porth de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Laval exploitent le pouvoir du s\u00e9quen\u00e7age du g\u00e9nome et de l’analyse bio-informatique pour \u00e9laborer un nouvel ensemble d’outils permettant de d\u00e9tecter de mani\u00e8re pr\u00e9cise ces quatre ennemis nuisibles de la for\u00eat. Leurs travaux permettront aux professionnels de la sant\u00e9 des for\u00eats de suivre et d’\u00e9tablir la source de ces menaces pour \u00e9laborer des mesures visant \u00e0 pr\u00e9venir d’autres invasions.<\/p>\n
Les travaux de l’\u00e9quipe auront des retomb\u00e9es \u00e9conomiques d’au moins 800 millions de dollars par ann\u00e9e gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la protection des ressources foresti\u00e8res du Canada et jusqu’\u00e0 2,2 millions de dollars gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la protection des march\u00e9s d’exportation.<\/p>\n
The GE3<\/sup>LS research component of the project will include a model-based decision-support tool that incorporates socio-economic data on human-mediated spread of invasive pests and epidemiological and genomic data to help reduce the uncertainty with regard to invasive outbreak outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Les for\u00eats constituent un \u00e9l\u00e9ment essentiel du tissu culturel, social et \u00e9conomique du Canada.
