Abstract
KAPPA-FLU - WP5 Task 5.1 Data collection and harmonisation
- The increasing capacity to collect and store data shifted the challenges in veterinary pidemiology from data acquisition to translating data into meaningful insights about animal health
- We mapped existing datasets on HPAI in poultry and wild birds in three case-study regions (England, Italy and Germany) and assessed their connections, harmonisation, accessibility and potential for future epidemiological research
- The above data will be exploited for eco-environmental and socio-economic analyses of avian influenza outbreak occurrence, develop a risk assessment tool for a prompt informed response, while forming the basis for other data analysis that will be performed within the Kappa-Flu project
