Implementation of an integrated information system for the management of swine vesicular disease surveillance activities in Italy 533-539
       
Summary
In Europe in the last decade, swine vesicular disease (SVD) outbreaks have been steadily reported in Italy where surveillance and eradication activities are in place. To collect and analyse data gathered during SVD surveillance activities, the Italian reference centre for vesicular diseases (CERVES) has implemented an integrated information system for the management of the national surveillance plan. The system was developed using Web-based technology and open source software. It was designed to gather, integrate and manage data generated by the activities of the Veterinary Services, the laboratory information system, herd and animal registers and the relevant technical and scientific information. A geographic information system provides an interface for the system, which facilitates the planning, implementation and evaluation of disease control actions. Access to the system is feasible through a second level domain.

Keywords
Eradication, Geographic information system, Italy, Surveillance, Swine vesicular disease, Web technology.
