This is a project that summarizes trends on disease diagnosis from cases submitted to the Iowa State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (ISU-VDL). PCR-based tests inform pathogen detection, which may or may not be causing disease. To report disease detection (i.e. pathogen(s) causing clinical problems), veterinary diagnosticians gather multiple layers of information including data available in submission forms, test results including PCR, bacterial culture, virus isolation, parasitic flotation, macroscopic and microscopic findings. When a conclusion is reached at the ISU-VDL, diagnosticians assign one or more standardized diagnostic code (Dx code) for cases, documenting etiology and associated lesions. The SDRS dashboards for disease diagnosis at the ISU-VDL were redesigned to present the information and summarize disease detection on swine cases over time based on Dx codes. Results are based on diagnostician interpretation of testing selected and solely informs disease diagnosis for different systems. For the purpose of this project, a case corresponds to the information on all samples of a given accession identification number (accession ID).

The following syndromes are reported as part of this project:

Useful information for dashboard visualization:

Better visualization of these charts occurs in full-screen mode. Hit the lower right corner double arrow for full-screen mode.

You can only select one physiologic system at a time. Stop the mouse pointer on the top of a graphic to get legend for the information presented. If you left-click the mouse on a piece of chart information, you will filter the other charts/tables for that information. If you click again you will undo the section.

The colors on the map represents the number of detections in that state. The data was organized by year and quarter.
