| \\ Sampling is the focus of the next section. However, the selection of units (whether all the target population defined can be reached - census - or a sampling design will be applied) should consider carefully the availability of a sampling frame. If it is not possible to identify and locate farms/herds/flocks, a surveillance designer should consider where else animals can be located and sampled.\\ \\ | \\ Sampling is the focus of the next section.

| \\ The target unit is the level of the population for which __conclusions will be drawn__ (for instance animal or herds).\\ \\ Before sampling a population, a target unit should be define which is the unit of interest when reporting results and drawing conclusions. Target units may be either groups or individuals, and the choice will depend on the aim of the surveillance component. For instance, the target unit will be “herd” if one wants to detect infected herds, estimate the prevalence of infected herds in a region or be able to declare all herds in a given area free from disease. It will be “animals” if one wants for instance to detect cases of disease, estimate the prevalence of a disease in a given animal population or declare a wild population free from disease.\\ \\ {{:files:risksur.jpg?nolink&50 |}}__**Framework details**__: The following options are considered the RISKSUR design framework (drop-down list)\\ | \\ The target unit is the level of the population for which __conclusions will be drawn__ (for instance animal or herds).\\ \\ Before sampling a population, a target unit should be define which is the unit of interest when reporting results and drawing conclusions.
