Use Cases
- Analyze testing volume and focus for avian species in 2010 based on the 'Number of tests' field.
- Identify common test types applied to avian samples based on the 'Test code' and 'test description' fields.
- Study species-specific surveillance patterns based on the 'Species' and 'Species class' fields.
