Manual for the reporting of surveillance data on Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) using the EFSA TSE Data Reporting Tool
The TSE data reporting tool is an open source Java client tool running on Windows and is developed for members of the TSE Network for the reporting of surveillance data on TSEs according to Regulation (EC) 999/2001 (part I.A, chapter B.I of annex III); in particular, for Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in bovine animals, Scrapie in small ruminants (sheep and goats), random genotyping in sheep, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids and TSE in other species.
The tool allows countries to submit and edit their data and automatically upload them into the EFSA Data Collection Framework (DCF) as XML data files.
All the documentation of the TSE reporting tool can be found in this wiki manual that will automatically open in your default internet browser every time you open the TSE data reporting tool. In addition, a manual for data reporting via XML file (for users not using the tool) is available at this link.
