The Global Pest and Disease Database (GPDD) is a web accessible exotic pest information archive designed to support APHIS programs. The database incorporates information from various sources into a single repository of data pertaining to pest taxonomy, identification, biology, distribution, hosts, significance, detection and control. The database currently contains information for over 7000 pests not known to be in the US, or present but with a limited distribution.
