Abstract：Objective To develop a marmot information collection and reporting system to improve the efficiency of surveillance of epizootic plague in marmots, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of plague prevention and control strategy and the basic research. Methods A field investigation was performed in marmot plague foci of Qinghai province, China, 2014, and the spatial distribution and location data of marmots were collected by the Global Positioning System(GPS), involving 352 sample sites of Yushu Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Guoluo Tibetan autonomous prefecture, Wulan county, Jianzha county, Xinghai county, and Qilian county. Five environment variables of height, slope, slope aspect, vegetation coverage, and grassland type, as well as the latitude and longitude of sample sites were obtained. The data of the sample sites were displayed in China Geodetic Coordinate System 2000 using ArcGIS 10.2 software. By analyzing the work requirements and workflow of Marmota himalayana surveillance, database model design, system structure design and system model construction were carried out. Through the application of ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android related components and the lightweight spatial database supported by SpatiaLite mobile terminals to develop the marmot information collection system in the Eclipse development environment by intergrating various data into the mobile geographic information system platform. Results Based on the habitat information of M. himalayana in natural plague foci of Qinghai province, the established marmot information collection system V3.0 had the following basic functions:management and analysis of plague surveillance data; generation of spatial data, attribute data, and associated pictures, as well as storage and export of spatial data and attribute data with database files; import of data about historical plague foci, route planning, real-time positioning and navigation, route playback, etc. The marmot information collection system changed the traditional paper-based combined GPS, reduced the workload of investigators, and improved the work efficiency. The unified survey method ensured the consistency of data and the standardization of work. Conclusion The marmot information collection and reporting system V3.0 can improve the monitoring mode of marmot plague, increase the probability of detection of animal plague, and assist in making decisions on emergency response to animal or human plague.
