依法防控红火蚁的若干思考

Review on the control of the red imported fire ants according to law

2004年底红火蚁传入中国,不仅对农业生产、生态环境造成了严重的威胁,而且对人们的健康构成了威胁。10年来,各级政府部门、植物检疫机构、科研教学单位以及发生区的相关企业和个人共同努力,采取了一系列的措施,有效控制了红火蚁危害和扩散蔓延。作者通过对红火蚁的检疫防控工作的回顾,从红火蚁检疫地位的确定、处置工作的透明公开、检疫控制资金保障、相关部门合作和应急处置机制等5个方面进行了总结思考,说明依法决策、科学决策、增强透明度、财政保障措施、部门配合以及建立应急处置机制对于有效控制疫情的重要性。红火蚁防控的许多做法对今后其他新发生疫情的依法科学控制有参考借鉴作用。

Red imported fire ant（Solenopsis invicta Buren）was found in China in 2004,which have not only caused a serious threat to agricultural production and ecological environment,but also posed a threat to human health. Since then,the stakeholders from various departments of government and plant quarantine,institutions of science,technology and education,as well as relevant enterprises and farmers in the infested regions have been jointly working for strategies and tactics that can effectively control spread and damage of the ant. The present article provides a review on the determining of the quarantine status of the ant,the transparency of the control work,the financial support of the quarantine control,the collaboration of different departments and the reaction of the emergency events. The previous work and experience indicates that it is important to make decision according to law and based on science,to have greater transparency,to have necessary financial support,to collaborate with related departments and to establish an emergency response mechanism for the effective control of the quarantine pest. The work and experience of the control of red imported fire ant is also very useful reference to other quarantine pest control according to law.
