1 Data Handling in an Outbreak Emma Paul MA VetMB LLB (Hons) MRCVS Veterinary Adviser Veterinary Exotic Notifiable Diseases Unit (VENDU) Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVLA) London, United Kingdom With special thanks to Kate Sharpe, Ruth Moir and Helen Roberts, AHVLA

2 Data Handling in an Outbreak Collection, storage and analysis and distribution of data Data related to disease situation Data related to implementation of control measures Data related to regaining disease free status Experiences gained

3 Definitions What is meant by an outbreak? Exotic (not in this country) Notifiable (official rules governing the control) What is meant by data? Raw data...field visits, existing IT databases (populations, premises, movements etc), lab results Filtered/processed data...reports, maps, press releases, briefing notes to Ministers...EU, OIE reports, presentations... the same fundamental principles apply to any situation Pressure to control the disease Demands on... Databases sophisticated and simple systems... Staff 1... Time allowed to produce reports!

4 Raw Data... How to get information from here to here?

5 Raw Data... Huge amounts!! Data capture... Forms Databases Different sources...teams...organisations Keep it simple and consistent across different diseases Keep it as much in line with BAU business as usual

6 ...Procedures Suspicion stage AHVLA Government Vet No disease VENDU Head Office Government Vets Why get field vet to phone in each Investigation and every time?

7 ...Procedures Suspicion stage EXD1 Why results sent only to VENDU? CVO VENDU Head Office Government Vet Investigation

8 VENDU...3 vets...2 main roles Provision of Veterinary policy advice for exotic diseases Disease reporting function Oversee all exotic dx vet investigations Challenge and audit Ref lab liaison Interpret results on behalf of CVO 24/7/365...Procedures

9 ...Diseases covered in this way... Bluetongue Anthrax CBPP (& caprine) Aujeszky s Others where we control their Contagious agalactia Brucellosis use in Laboratories Foot and Mouth abortus, melitensis, Babesia (bovis,bigemina, Sheep/Goat Pox suis, ovis caballi) Lumpy Skin Disease Rabies Echinococcus (m& g) Pests des Petits Ruminants Vesicular Stomatitis Ehrlichia ruminatum Rift Valley Fever African Horse Sickness Heartwater Rinderpest Contagious Equine Metritis Hendra Warble Fly Dourine Histoplasma farciminosum Avian Influenza Equine Viral Arteritis New World screwworm Newcastle Disease Encephalomyelitis Nipah African Swine Fever (W, E, V, J... + ) PRRS 2 Classical Swine Fever Equine Infectious Anaemia Theileria (equi,parva,annulata) Swine Vesicular Disease Epizootic Lymphangitis Trypanosomosis (Teschen) Glanders & Farcy Epizootic Haemorrhagic Virus West Nile Virus Disease 40 Bat Lyssavirus plus...

10 Communicating details of the exotic disease investigations... Text alerts NDI1 Every stage

11 Number of Exotic Notifiable Disease Investigations by Year Year

12 Disease can t be ruled out and samples taken... Premises restricted, samples taken and submitted... VENDU have details from over the phone Lab report results directly and only to VENDU VENDU in liaison with CVOs and senior policy May be a case conference Or if worrying initial results then CVO may decide on calling an Amber Teleconference...VENDU, reference lab, epidemiologists, field lead, policy teams, communications team, cabinet office, (other government dept e.g. Health if zoonotic disease) CVO may decide to confirm disease...amber goes to a red teleconference UK Government moves to an agreed battle rhythm after confirmation of disease

24 Disease Confirmed... Zones restrictions communicate clearly Plan ahead extent of work required Known timescales find disease but also plan exit strategy Farming Industry like to know the not before dates Tracings out of zone, premises Surveillance work Heavy reliance on existing livestock databases

25 15 source systems/databases across the Delivery Network But, integration on this scale is difficult... different technology platforms, data formats & definitions, refresh rates etc. Rapid Analysis and Detection of Animal-related Risks Launched in National Equine Databas e (NED) Cattle Tracing System (CTS) Animal Movement s Licensing System (AMLS) Scottish Animal Movement s System (SAMS) VLA FarmFil e System MHS Abattoi r Syste m GB Poultr y Regist er Agricultur al Survey x3 (England, Scotland, Wales) AH Sam Syste m AH Vetnet System AH Disease Control Systems (FMD, CSF, AI) Custome r & Land Databas e (CLAD)

26 Why RADAR? In 2001, it took 10 days to produce this map of livestock premises: 4 days to write the code & extract the data from CTS 350k premises (& get extract from Vetnet 550k premises & Agricultural Survey 250k premises) 3 days to manually combine and deduplicate information 3 days to geo-reference the data using address cleansing software & manual look ups as necessary Resulting dataset was so large & technical capability so restricted, it was broken down into tiles limited analytical ability Still no movement information available, only estimates of livestock numbers

27 Taken 7 years to connect to the required data and write the correct algorithms CTS transformation algorithm 20million movement records every year. Each reported independently as a birth, death, on or off. RADAR matches on and off movements, imputes missing movements & creates a life history for each animal. From this it generates population counts, and derives additional information about each animal cattle breeds are converted in to breed purpose dairy, beef etc. Brown Swiss dairy Dexter dual breed Friesian dairy Hereford beef etc

28 RADAR realising the potential But locations are not just points they can be land parcels, postcodes, parishes, counties, gov offices, AH regions, countries, an outbreak zone or any other type of area you are interested in... Standard GIS packages - useful for visualisation, but limited analytical capability (esp large datasets remember 2001?) e.g. unable to combine land parcels & livestock info on national scale RADAR generates dissolved layers of land parcels with livestock data already combined for easy visualisation & interrogation in GIS The RADAR warehouse is also spatially enabled - allows users to analyse all RADAR data at any location level without using GIS you can even draw your own zone in GIS, upload it into RADAR and query the RADAR data against it immediately But, its not just zones we are interested in!

29 RADAR maps Mapping abattoir locations in relation to zones & IPs

30 RADAR who uses it? COBR, Ministers, Senior Managers & the Press All love maps! RADAR has been commended by the Cabinet Office as the only team in Whitehall which can provide an effective mapping response to COBR within 24hrs of an emergency Left: Taken from Guardian website in April 2006 at Right: Taken from BBC News website on 9 th April 2006 at tland/ stm

54 FMD freedom - Additional sampling within 150 km of Pirbright 95% confidence of detecting 1% prevalence of sheep flocks and beef cattle herds = 307 herds km = km = km = km = 154

55 It can also analyse Individual Animal life histories... RADAR again...analysis of movement data enabled UK to negotiate reduction in nation-wide intra-community trade ban Direct Moves useful for diseases which spread fast e.g. FMD Far m A Far m B Indirect moves via a transient location Far m A Market Far m B Indirect movements via several residences useful for slower spread e.g. TB FMD areas in yellow were lifted out of restriction as RADAR proved no movements out of the risk area had occurred Far m A Far m B Market Far m C Far m D Far m E

56 FMD 07 ~ a small outbreak Only 8 infected premises animals slaughtered (mainly cattle and pigs) Intensive surveillance well beyond minimum requirements of EU Directive 1200 visits 60,036 surveillance samples tested 800 goats, 21,000 sheep, 26,500 cattle 125 to 400 staff ~ 50 vets, Animal Health officers Nationwide monitoring through report cases (>220), >6million animals at abattoirs, 766 welfare visits, 1600 licensing inspections Plus 307 premises in 20 to 150KM zones around outbreak

58 About halfway through FMD... September 22 nd...bluetongue-8 detected in a cow = potential for mass confusion! BTV-8 FMD

59 Zone boundaries kept changing for BTV as well as for FMD...

60 Plus different trade/export areas

61 Defra website interactive map

62 Legal Declarations... FMD Zone restrictions declarations x 2 August - amended 6 x Sept amended 9 x TCZ x 10

63 Defra website licensing matrices

64 13 th November... Highly pathogenic H5N1 confirmed in turkeys!! Defra website crucial in advising farmers...and staff Highlighted certain weaknesses systems geared up for one outbreak but 3 simultaneously put it under extra pressure

65 Data Handling - Conclusions FMD 07 assumption that one will find early disease in cattle may not be correct First time that pre-clinically viraemic animals were detected using PCR in an outbreak Be prepared! Directive may lay out surveillance requirements but... Judged by the reporting aim for one version of the truth! Try to keep everything BAU Clear communication lines teams not people Different meetings to discuss different angles but don t be crippled by the battle rhythm The same process for different diseases Training, exercises

66 Data Handling - Conclusions UK future... Still improving our databases...sam, MOSS, CPH viewer

67 CPH Viewer Application There are a number of tasks that the user may now want to do, in this instance we investigate whether stock is kept on a contiguous CPH Can build up the spread of land being used by an individual farm business Data from Animal Health Customer Database now being used in tandem with RPA land CPH 01/001/0001 parcel data. - We now understand that cattle are kept on the neighbouring CPH. Using land parcel data, captured as a result of a subsidy claim CPH 01/001/0002

68 Data Handling - Conclusions UK future... Still improving our databases...sam, MOSS, CPH viewer NDCC/LDCC...new managing outbreaks project Reduced staffing, more outsourcing, reduced budgets Virtual teams...no longer able to rely on teams all in one place NDCC lite/ldcc lite concept
