Biosecurity Practices

Biosecurity practices are measures taken to protect against the introduction and spread of harmful biological agents, such as diseases in plants, animals, and humans. These practices include controlling access to environments, regularly disinfecting surfaces, using protective gear, and monitoring health and movement of individuals or animals. In agriculture, for instance, biosecurity involves preventing pests and pathogens from entering farms to ensure healthy crops and livestock. In healthcare, it means implementing protocols to prevent infection and disease transmission. Overall, biosecurity aims to safeguard health, food safety, and ecosystems by minimizing risks from biological threats.
