Summary of EpiPulse Reporting Protocol 2025 for Zoonotic Influenza Viruses

Document Overview

This protocol outlines the reporting process for zoonotic influenza viruses, enabling countries to submit case-based and aggregated data through the TESSy system. It supports surveillance and risk assessment by providing guidelines, changes to metadata, and variable definitions.

Key Changes to Metadata

Recent updates include modifications to animal exposure codes (e.g., updating species codes and adding "NONE" option), new variables for contact tracing, exposure activities, and vaccination status, alongside refinements to existing coded value lists and definitions (e.g., dates, settings, and subtypes).

Reporting Process

Cases must be reported within 24 hours to EWRS; data for monitoring should be submitted to TESSy as quickly as feasible. Data preparation involves ensuring correct formatting and coding per the latest metadata, with submission via batch upload or manual entry. Validation checks are performed automatically, and rejected or validated files require attention.

Record Types

• INFLZOO: Used for case-based reporting, capturing detailed information on individual cases, including demographics, exposure, and laboratory data.
• INFLZOOAGGR: For aggregated data, mainly testing results and case counts by subtype, to supplement case-based reporting if needed.

Variables Covered

The metadata encompasses a wide range of fields, including epidemiological details (e.g., onset, symptom onset date), clinical presentations, laboratory findings (subtype, resistance mutations), treatment, outcomes, and contextual factors like vaccination status and occupation, ensuring comprehensive data collection for analysis and trend monitoring.
