Negated Notifiable Disease Investigations: Wales 2015

This dataset provides figures for the number of negated Exotic Notifiable Disease investigations carried out in Wales during 2015. Investigations that follow the report of an exotic notifiable disease are called 'report cases'. Notifiable diseases 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. A report case is negated if after a clinical examination and in some cases further diagnostic testing there is sufficient evidence for the Chief Veterinary Officer(Wales) to negate presence of the disease. 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.

本数据集提供了2015年在威尔士进行的被否定异国传染病调查的统计数据。针对异国传染病的报告进行调查的案例被称为'报告病例'。应报告的疾病是指动物主人/饲养者有法律义务向动物和植物卫生局（APHA）报告的动物疾病，即便仅存在动物可能受影响的怀疑。所谓'异国疾病'，是指目前尚未存在于大不列颠群岛的疾病。若在临床检查后，在某些情况下进一步诊断测试后，首席兽医官（威尔士）有充分的证据予以否定疾病的存在，则报告病例将被视为否定。本数据集分为两个部分：第一部分提供了因临床怀疑而引发报告病例的疾病怀疑报告者的信息；数据表的第二部分则确定了动物为何被检测，其中报告病例的启动源于非负实验室结果，例如作为主动监测计划的一部分，或作为预育种测试的一部分等。有关本数据集中包含数据的进一步信息和解释，请参阅随此数据集一同提供的名为'NDI Cases - Additional Information'的文档。版权声明：©英王版权，APHA 2016
