The role of quarantine in the control of Thysanoptera is discussed. The efficiency of quarantine measures is dependent on accurate detection, quick identification and information on biological characteristics. Increased resistance against insecticides is a major factor causing rapid spread of thrips species along man-made routes. The 25 economically significant thysanopteran species intercepted at port of entry in Japan and the Netherlands indicate the risks connected with the international trade in plants.
