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

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
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 2003. 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)
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
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
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!
RADAR maps Mapping abattoir locations in relation to zones & IPs
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 http://www.guardian.co.uk/flash/0,,1131346,00.html Right: Taken from BBC News website on 9 th April 2006 at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sco tland/4893108.stm

Defra website licensing matrices
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
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
Data Handling - Conclusions UK future... Still improving our databases...sam, MOSS, CPH viewer
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
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
