Epizootic Risk Model

Deployed

The Epizootic Risk Model reveals how demographic parameters of the live cervid population may influence CWD dynamics if prions were to be introduced into the herd.

Geographical Scale

  • Administrative area, subdivided into a sub-administrative areas

Required Data

  • Sample data

Suggested Data

  • Demography data

User Inputs

  • Cervid species of interest
  • Estimates of demographic factors (if demography data are unavailable)
  • Estimates of epidemiological factors

Outputs

  • Estimates of the Epizootic Potential in each sub-administrative area
  • Comparative maps of Epizootic Potential by sub-administrative area
  • Charts depicting the main drivers of Epizootic Potential within each host population
