This report, and supplementary spreadsheet, outlines work undertaken to strengthen New Zealand’s forest biosecurity surveillance systems through the curation of DNA barcode datasets for high-risk pests. It compiles and assesses barcode coverage for priority invertebrate and microbial threats, identifying species suitable for inclusion in an eDNA-based watchlist as well as key gaps in current reference databases and assay performance. The resulting curated lists provide a practical foundation for improving early detection capability, while also highlighting where further research, primer development, and data generation are required to support robust, species-level identification in future surveillance programmes.
