	Parameter	Description
1	Theoretical Sampling period	The 12‐month reporting period. It may go from January to December, but this is not a restriction: the reporting period can also include 12 consecutive months over 2 years
2	Actual Sampling Period	Range. Date of the first sampling date and date of the last sampling within the theoretical sampling period
3	Summary dates	Descriptive statistics of the sampling period
4	Sampling period	Total number of days sampled within the actual sampling period
5	Number of samples	Total number of samples collected during the theoretical sampling period
6	Number of test results	Total number of test results. If the number of test results is equal to the number of samples, none of the latter required further investigations (i.e. were negative at the first test)
7	Laboratory test completion	Comparison between the year when the samples are collected and the year when the test was completed
8	Sensitivity	Sensitivity of the diagnostic test
9	Host	Target population size (N); additional information on the host species
10	Animal sample	Type of sample collected
11	Sampling Strategy and Design	As reported (e.g. representative sample, risk‐based)
12	Sampling point	Activity adopted for the sample collection (e.g. hunting, veterinary activity, etc.)
