Epidemiological intelligence involves collecting disease data, analyzing it, and disseminating findings to relevant parties. Data collection involves methods like mortality registration, ongoing morbidity reporting from farms and hospitals, and diagnostic laboratory records. Data is collated and analyzed to identify disease determinants and support control strategies. Analysis results and ongoing reports on control efforts are expressed and interpreted, then promptly distributed to data providers, decision makers, and the public using formats like tables, graphs, maps, and verbal/written communications. The goal is providing early warning of health threats and supporting evidence-based decisions.
