Outbreak Response Model

In development

The Outbreak Response Model is used after the first case of CWD is confirmed to draw a spatial containment zone around the outbreak and determine where best to deploy management actions within the zone.

Geographical Scale

  • Outbreak containment zone centered around a real or hypothetical CWD+ host

Required Data

  • Sample data

User Inputs

  • Area of interest (if host is hypothetical)
  • Probability of direct or indirect contact to be modeled
  • Summary type
  • Sample source
  • Season of interest

Outputs

  • An integrated risk surface meshing contact probabilities with resource selection functions to view where the index case may have spread disease to other free-ranging hosts
