Kenya Animal Bio – Surveillance (KABS) User Guide

Abstract

Kenya Animal Bio-Surveillance (KABS) is a near-real-time system that allows veterinarians to electronically enter, transmit, and analyze data. The system enables the immediate reporting of diseases, conditions, key syndromes, and other epidemiological data. The system employs algorithms that allow for rapid analysis and generation of potentially actionable data in order to detect and respond to disease events, particularly zoonotic diseases, before they spread to humans.
