Regarding the animal trapping, such as rats:
1) How to calculate the number of animals that are used for disease surveillance study? Is it based on the size of the sampling location or other factors?
2) Is the calculation of sample size for roaming animals different if the animals are on the ground, at sea or in the air?
Thank you.
