Procedure rationaleThe Contractor is in a unique position in having reserve wardens who have historically collected waterbird carcasses as part of the organisation's long-term wildlife health monitoring programmes. The contractor manages nine important wetland reserves in the UK with eight of these based in England and Wales and one in Northern Ireland. All samples for this project will be collected from the England and Wales Locations.
A fundamental requirement of the contract is to sample wild bird carcases across mainland GB where there are known large bird gatherings (i.e. at wildlife reserves), APHA has already explored other organisations that have a similar portfolio of reserves and established that WWT is uniquely placed as they have (a) the portfolio of reserves with an appropriate GB coverage, (b) the staff with trained expertise to swab and sample the carcases at each site, and (c) the scientific expertise to provide APHA with specialist advice that they do not possess in house.
The WWT sites have a large range of wild bird species coming through their sites which provide a good insight into AIV prevalence as wild populations migrate in and out of Great Britain. Continuing to carry out surveillance across the same sites which are currently monitored via the outgoing contract will also provide the benefit of consistency and comparison of trends with previous years |
