Quarantine Status

This dimension marks whether a pest or disease is currently under formal quarantine restriction. Wikipedia notes that invasive species have "become serious economic, social, and environmental threats worldwide," a threat level that is exactly why some are placed under strict quarantine control. Browsing by quarantine status separates regulated pests and diseases from those that are not.
