and data aggregation to animal and wildlife surveillance Leveraging first responders (veterinarians)

for animal and public health surveillance Estimating baseline prevalence rates of

observed animal health anomalies for each stream

Evaluating the significance of resulting signals as disease detection events

Providing early warning information obtained from validated signaling activity to stakeholders to assist in making decisions
