The Global Pest and Disease Database is an archive of exotic pest information specific to Plant Protection Quarantine needs, for uses including the prioritization of pest threats to the United States, conducting risk assessments of plant pests, and completing domestic exotic pest surveys. The Exotic Pest Information Collection and Analysis program contains information on over 600 plant and animal plant pests not native to the United States. The Exotic Pest Information Collection and Analysis program is primarily intended for use within USDA but DHS officials, other federal agencies, and state agricultural agencies also have access to the system.
