is the process of bringing a species from its endemic range into a biogeographic area to which it is completely foreign

Two or more samples each representing the sampling unit are merged into one sample for microbiological analysis.

Infrastructure necessary to create open, web-based knowledge repositories (domain-specific Knowledge Bases and the One Health Surveillance Knowledge Hub), a project website, a...

Any disease and/or infection that is naturally transmissible directly or indirectly between animals and humans

Bioinformatic analyses invariably involve shepherding files through a series of transformations, called a pipeline or a workflow.

vector-borne zoonotic disease, spread by Tsetse flies, can be found in humans and animals

The identification and implementation of policies and activities to avoid or minimize the likelihood and/or impact of ongoing or potential zoonotic disease events. In practice,...

The ability of microorganisms of certain species to survive or even grow in the presence of a given concentration of an antimicrobial agent that is usually sufficient to inhibit...

detection of a parasite by feeding a suitable intermediate host (such as an insect) on supposedly infected material (such as blood) and later examining the host for the parasite

No definition could be identified for this sector

All the observable characteristics of an organism that result from the interaction of its genotype (total genetic inheritance) with the environment. Examples of observable...

The aspect of epidemiology concerned with why and how a health problem occurs. Analytic epidemiology uses comparison groups to provide baseline or expected values so that...

The evaluation of the likelihood and the biological and economic consequences of entry, establishment and spread of a hazard

the stage in the parasite life cycle at which it is able to initiate infection of its host(s).

Dataset format includes information on individual records related to a disease/health event

The CFR is a case fatality expressed over time. It is therefore a true rate, since time is included in the denominator. It can be expressed as number of deaths among cases per...

Describes the type of information that will be obtained (using a particular surveillance activity) about a health hazard. The options are early detection/warning of known...

Any action to be taken when the results of monitoring at the Critical Control Point (CCP) indicate a loss of control.

One of several methods of agglomerative hierarchical clustering. At the beginning of the process, each element is in a cluster of its own. The clusters are then sequentially...

Methodology that encomprasses identification and assessment of risk of exposure to take appropriate mitigation measures in accordance with the level of risk. Methodology that...
