Avian Influenza Testing in Wild Birds - 2011 Quarter 2
收藏资源简介：
The dataset provides a list of the wild birds identified and submitted under both passive and active (targeted) surveillance programmes in Great Britain for testing for Avian Influenza by the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). The main emphasis in the surveillance programmes is on patrols of designated reserves by skilled wild bird ecologists and wardens to locate “found dead” wild birds, including “mass mortality incidents”. These Warden Patrols continue all-year-round, and are also seasonally targeted in the winter and spring periods (October to March) each year. Members of the public are also asked to remain vigilant for mass bird mortality incidents occurring in any location in GB and report these to the Defra Helpline. The criteria for a “mass mortality incident” are five or more wild birds of any species at any location in England, Scotland and Wales. The dataset contains information on the identity of the bird, the date, location and which samples were taken from those birds and their test results. Please Note: The location represents a 10km x 10km square in which the bird was found. Location data is provided by the submitter and is not verified and, if no location information is available, the location of the testing laboratory may be used.

本数据集收录了英国大不列颠地区由动植物卫生署（Animal and Plant Health Agency, APHA）开展被动与主动（针对性）监测项目中，为检测禽流感而鉴定并提交的野生鸟类名录。本监测项目的核心工作为，由专业野生鸟类生态学家与保护区管理员对指定保护区开展巡逻，以搜寻“死亡野生鸟类”，包括“大规模鸟类死亡事件”。管理员巡逻工作全年持续开展，并于每年10月至次年3月的秋冬春季节开展针对性专项巡查。此外，公众被提醒需留意英国境内任意地点发生的鸟类大规模死亡事件，并将相关情况上报至英国环境、食品与农村事务部（Defra）热线。“大规模鸟类死亡事件”的判定标准为：在英格兰、苏格兰或威尔士境内任意地点，发现5只及以上任意物种的野生鸟类。本数据集涵盖鸟类物种信息、发现日期、地理位置、从受检鸟类采集的样本详情，以及对应的检测结果。 请注意：此处标注的地理位置指发现鸟类所在的10km×10km方格。地理位置信息由数据提交者提供，未经过核验；若未提供相关地理位置信息，则将采用检测实验室的所在地作为替代位置。 如需了解本数据集所包含数据的更多细节与说明，请参阅随本数据集一同提供的可下载数据字典。 归属声明：© 皇家版权（Crown Copyright），动植物卫生署（APHA）2016
