Two separate questionnaires were distributed to 20 OIE Collaborating Centres and 160 OIE Reference Laboratories to assess the current status of networking and collaboration among OIE Reference Laboratories and between OIE Reference Laboratories and OIE Collaborating Centres. The questionnaire for the OIE Reference Laboratories contained 7 sections with questions on networking between laboratories, reporting of information, biosecurity quality control, and financing. Emphasis was placed in obtaining information on inter-laboratory relationships and exchange of expertise, training needs and sharing of data and information. The questionnaire for the OIE Collaborating Centres contained six sections with the emphasis on aspects related to awareness of services that can be provided, expertise that could be made available, sharing of information and the relationship with the national veterinary services of the countries concerned. The responses to the questionnaires were collated, categorised and statistically evaluated to allow for tentative inferences on the data provided. Valuable information emanated from the data identifying the current status of networking and indicating possible shortcomings that could be addressed to improve networking.
两份独立的调查问卷被分发给20个世界动物卫生组织（OIE）合作中心和160个OIE参考实验室，以评估OIE参考实验室之间以及OIE参考实验室与OIE合作中心之间的网络建设和合作现状。OIE参考实验室的调查问卷包含7个部分，问题涉及实验室间的网络建设、信息报告、生物安全质量控制和资金筹措。重点在于获取有关实验室间关系和专业知识交流、培训需求以及数据和信息共享的信息。OIE合作中心的调查问卷包含6个部分，重点在于与可提供的服务的知晓度、可提供的专业知识、信息共享以及与相关国家兽医服务机构的关系等方面。对调查问卷的回复进行了整理、分类和统计评估，以便对所提供的数据进行初步推断。数据提供了有关网络建设现状的宝贵信息，并指出了可能存在的不足之处，这些不足可以通过改进网络建设来解决。
