NPDN Epidemiology Subcommittee
Carla Thomas
Chair
The NPDN Epidemiology Committee
The goal of the Epidemiology Committee is to design, develop and implement analyses using the NPDN diagnostic record data as well as other data from other sources, to detect outbreaks at the earliest stage possible, whether intentionally introduced or not.
Outbreaks may be local, state, regional or national events.
Epidemiology Committee Governance
The governance - is conducted by a committee of NPDN staff and members who contribute to operational efforts in epidemiology.

Insights
Definition of Anomaly Types• Host Characters – appears on new host or new part of host
• Pest Characters – change in pesticide resistance, virulence, etc.
• Geographic – appears in new place
• Temporal – appears at an unusual time of season
• Climatic –appears during unusual weather conditions
• Distribution – spreads in a new way, or at new rates
• Association – shows association with another factor that is new or unusual
Survey and analysis of legacy datasets, 2003
• Sample submission forms from 43 states were collected– Most of these forms were in paper format
• Fields included symptomology, crop history, client information, date and location of sample collection, and host condition.
• Three databases were electronic and had a sufficient number of records: – CDFA 46,264 records covering 7 years– Kansas State University 19,439 records covering 9 years – University of Georgia 2,807 records covering 5 years
• Most of the records in paragraph format text entries • Therefore a text mining approach was adopted.
20 Key Words Indicated Potential for Standardization
• Plant • Leaves• Seed• Fruit• Tip• Stem• Bark• Root• Large
• Spot• Mottled• Yellow• Brown• Discoloration• Burn• Margin• Malform• Canker• Wilting• Rot • Scattered
Phase 1 required fields
• Lab Name - automated reporting• Sample ID reporting• Diagnosis ID association anomalies• State / County geographic, first occurrence• Host Genus Host anomalies• Diagnosis Identification Genus Causal agent
anomalies• Confidence Level reporting• Received Lab Date temporal anomalies
Phase 1 optional fields• Host Common Name host anomalies• Host Species host anomalies• Host Sub-Species host anomalies• Diagnostic Method reporting• Identification Common Name causal agent anomalies• Diagnosis Identification Species causal agent anomalies• Diagnosis Identification Sub-Species causal agent anomalies• Latitude / Longitude geographic anomalies• Zip Code geographic anomalies• Sample Notes general• Diagnostic Notes general• Date Collected temporal anomalies
Phase 2 Proposed Optional Fields
• Date First Observed temporal anomalies• Plant Symptoms / Signs Observed host or causal agent anomalies• Plant Parts Affected host or causal agent anomalies• Entomology / Nematode Fields causal agent anomalies• Host Plant Situation association anomalies, reporting• Purpose of Submission reporting • Program Supported reporting• Submitter Type reporting• Damage Distribution of Affected Plants geographic anomalies, host
or causal agent anomalies• Incidence host or causal agent anomalies• Soil / Water Condition association anomalies, host or causal agent
anomalies
Definition of Anomaly Types• Host Characters – appears on new host or new part of hostHost genus, species, subspecies, plant part affected,
symptomology
• Pest Characters – change in pesticide resistance, virulence, etc.Pest/ Pathogen genus, species, subspecies, plant part affected,
symptomology
• Geographic – appears in new placestate, county, zipcode, lat./long. transportation routes
• Temporal – appears at an unusual time of seasonDate collected, date submitted, date of onset of symptoms, weather,
risk models
Anomalies (cont.)
• Climatic –appears during unusual weather conditions
Weather, climate and risk models
• Distribution – spreads in a new way, or at new ratesCombination of geographic, temporal, and
transportation fields
• Association – shows association with another factor that is new or unusual
Host, pest, ecozone, soils, land use, crop history, satellite imagery
Benefits to Phase 2
• Makes detection of unusual host or pest characteristics possible
• Makes automated programatic reporting possible
• Fills mission of NPDN in detecting and reporting unusual outbreaks earlier

Integrated GIS Platforms
Distributed Integrated Interfaced National Database, Managed locally, distributed nationally
The value of a distributed multi-management system
• Specific expertise maintains specialized database
• Maintains data confidentiality for need to know groups through CERIS data security access
• Allows many different groups to interface.
• Distributes cost of maintenance of layers.
