Description

The Surveillance Intelligence Unit (SIU) at APHA manages veterinary scanning surveillance activities to quickly detect, characterise and manage threats and risks in livestock and wildlife in Great Britain.

Threats are diverse and can include:
- A novel disease or pathogen such as Schmallenberg virus
- Exotic or notifiable disease, such as Bluetongue
- A new pathogen variant or subtype, such as the RHD2 variant in rabbits
- Novel or rare antimicrobial resistance, such as transferable colistin resistance
