Spanish term or phrase: definición operacional de campo de...
¡Buenas tardes de nuevo!

Sigo trabajando en la traducción de español a inglés de un cuestionario que el SENASICA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria) de México y, en concreto, la Dirección de Sanidad Acuícola y Pesquera manda a la autoridad competente de otro país.

El cuestionario tiene por finalidad evaluar los Servicios Veterinarios del país (especies acuáticas) y consta de diversos apartados (entre otros, organización y estructura de los servicios veterinarios, controles de sanidad animal, servicios de laboratorio, etc).

Bien, dentro del apartado "Controles de sanidad animal" se solicita a la autoridad del país destinatario que ofrezca la "definición operacional de campo de un presunto caso positivo (de una enfermedad)". He optado por traducirlo como "the operational definition in the field of a suspected positive case". ¿Qué os parece? Se aceptan opiniones y sugerencias.

¡Gracias!
