Livestock trade networks for guiding animal health surveillance

BACKGROUND Trade in live animals can contribute to the introduction of exotic diseases, the maintenance and spread endemic diseases. Annually millions of animals are moved across Europe for the purposes of breeding, fattening and slaughter. Data on the number of animals moved were obtained from the Directorate General Sanco (DG Sanco) for 2011. These were converted to livestock units to enable ...

Optimizing surveillance for livestock disease spreading through animal movements.

The spatial propagation of many livestock infectious diseases critically depends on the animal movements among premises; so the knowledge of movement data may help us to detect, manage and control an outbreak. The identification of robust spreading features of the system is however hampered by the temporal dimension characterizing population interactions through movements. Traditional centralit...

Retrospective analysis of 11 years of livestock necropsy data: evaluation for animal health surveillance

Livestock necropsy reports from diagnostic laboratories may be of interest for disease surveillance. However, they are usually created using natural language making the extraction of relevant data complicated. To evaluate necropsy reports for animal health surveillance, we first developed a text mining tool to automatically classify necropsy reports for cattle and pigs into 13 syndromic categor...

Integrating animal health and foodborne disease surveillance.

The control of foodborne diseases from an animal source has become an important part of public health policy. Since the agents that cause these diseases originate in animals, Veterinary Services, as well as Public Health Services, must be involved in their control. Control programmes should be established either through cooperation between the two Services or by the consolidation of all those i...

-Electronic Supplementary Material- Optimizing surveillance for livestock disease spreading through animal movements

The data describing bovines’ displacements are recorded on a daily basis, making it possible to construct different network representations according to different assumptions or aggregating on different time window lengths [1] [2]. In particular, we simulated the spread of an infectious disease on networks aggregated on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly scale. The choice of the aggregating ti...
