Information that you provide will be held in strict confidence. Data will be aggregated and reported as 1-kilometer cells within a grid of the study area. With your participation, we will be able to target areas of high disease prevalence for soil sampling and site description. We will use DNA extraction techniques to identify sites that host the pathogen and develop a model to predict its distribution. This information will allow better prevention of the disease.
