Salmonella Isolations and Incidents in Pheasants in Great Britain, 2010-2014

2010-2014 data on Salmonella isolations and incidents in pheasants on premises in Great Britain. The dataset is grouped by Salmonella subspecies, year, and distinguishes between initial isolations and subsequent incidents. It was produced by the UK's Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), which operates accredited laboratory facilities.

Use Cases

• Tracking temporal trends of Salmonella in pheasant populations based on yearly grouping.
• Analyzing the prevalence of different Salmonella subspecies in a specific animal host.
• Modeling disease incident patterns based on the distinction between initial isolations and subsequent confirmations within a 30-day window.
• Assessing laboratory surveillance quality for animal diseases based on the described accreditation standards.

Strengths

• Clear operational definitions for 'isolation' and 'incident' are provided.
• Data covers a five-year period from 2010 to 2014.
• Laboratory methods are described with specific accreditation standards (e.g., BS EN ISO 17025:2000).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
