Issues involving plants, animals, and other organisms as pests continue to occur and affect food production, forestry, health and conservation worldwide. Three recent Canadian examples are mountain pine beetles and salvage logging, mosquitoes and West Nile virus, and sea lice on farmed and wild salmon. Pests have substantial economic, environmental, health and societal implications at local and international levels. Pest problems offer opportunities for research on the biological processes involving organisms that cause damage to crops and structures or threaten human health. The Master of Pest Management (MPM) program at SFU allows students to access these opportunities in the management and research of pests and furthermore, directly apply this knowledge.
