Terrestrial animal health code, 2021, via WWW, Jan. 11, 2022:v. 1, chaper 1.4 (Animal health surveillance is a tool to monitor disease trends, to facilitate the control of infection or infestation, to provide data for use in risk analysis, for animal or public health purposes, to substantiate the rationale for sanitary measures and for providing assurances to trading partners. The type of surveillance applied depends on the objectives of the surveillance, the available data sources and the outputs needed to support decision-making. The general recommendations in this chapter may be applied to all infections or infestations and all susceptible species (including wildlife) and may be adapted to national or local settings; Wildlife may be included in a surveillance system because they can serve as reservoirs of infection or infestation and as indicators of risk to humans and domestic animals. However, the presence of an infection or infestation in wildlife does not mean it is necessarily present in domestic animals in the same country or zone, or vice versa. Surveillance in wildlife presents challenges that may differ significantly from those in surveillance in domestic animals; Surveillance system means the use of one or more surveillance components to generate information on the health status of animal populations)
