Confirmed Notifiable Disease Cases: England 2014

This dataset provides figures for the number of confirmed Exotic Notifiable Disease investigations carried out by the Animal and Plant Health Agency in England during 2014. Investigations that follow the report of an exotic notifiable disease are called 'report cases'. Notifiable diseases in this context are animal diseases that an animal owner/keeper is under legal obligation to report to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), even if there is only a suspicion that an animal may be affected. 'Exotic diseases' are defined as diseases that are not currently present within the United Kingdom.
This dataset is formatted in two sections: the first provides information on who reported suspicion of disease where a report case was instigated as a result of clinical suspicion; the second half of the spreadsheet identifies why an animal was tested where report cases were started as a result of a non-negative lab result. e.g. as part of an active surveillance programme, or as part of pre-breeding tests, etc.
Disease is confirmed by the Chief Veterinary Officer following an investigation by APHA which includes clinical investigation and laboratory testing.

本数据集提供了英国动物和植物卫生局在2014年期间进行的已确认外来传染病调查的统计数据。针对报告外来传染病的调查称为'报告病例'。在此语境下，'应报告的疾病'是指动物所有者或养护者有法律义务向动物和植物卫生局（APHA）报告的动物疾病，即便仅存动物可能受影响的疑虑。'外来疾病'是指目前尚未在英国出现的疾病。该数据集分为两部分：第一部分提供了因临床疑虑而启动报告病例的疾病报告疑虑者的信息；数据表的第二部分则确定了因非阴性实验室检测结果而启动报告病例的动物检测原因，例如作为主动监测计划的一部分，或作为育种前测试的一部分等。疾病经首席兽医官在动物和植物卫生局（APHA）的临床调查和实验室检测后确认。如需获取本数据集中包含数据的进一步信息和解释，请参阅随本数据集一同提供的名为'NDI Cases - Additional Information'的文档。版权声明：©皇家版权，APHA 2016
