Modelling the field personnel resources to control foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in New Zealand Open
The objective of the study was to simulate New Zealand’s foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) operational plan to determine personnel requirements for a FMD response and understand how the numbers of frontline staff available could affect the size…

Investigations into a trigger-based approach for initiating emergency vaccination to augment stamping out of foot-and-mouth disease in New Zealand: a simulation study Open
To investigate an adaptive management approach to the deployment of emergency vaccination as an additional measure to stamping out (SO) during simulated outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in New Zealand. A simulation modelling (n=60…

Real-Time Standard Analysis of Disease Investigation (SADI)—A Toolbox Approach to Inform Disease Outbreak Response Open
An incursion of an important exotic transboundary animal disease requires a prompt and intensive response. The routine analysis of up-to-date data, as near to real time as possible, is essential for the objective assessment of the patterns…

Informing adaptive management strategies: Evaluating a mechanism to predict the likely qualitative size of foot-and-mouth disease outbreaks in New Zealand using data available in the early response phase of simulated outbreaks Open
The objective of the study was to define and then evaluate an early decision indicator (EDI) trigger that operated within the first 5 weeks of a response that would indicate a large outbreak of FMD was developing, in order to be able to in…

Evaluating vaccination strategies to control foot-and-mouth disease: a country comparison study Open
Vaccination is increasingly being recognised as a potential tool to supplement ‘stamping out’ for controlling foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreaks in non-endemic countries. Infectious disease simulation models provide the opportunity to …

Early Decision Indicators for Foot-and-Mouth Disease Outbreaks in Non-Endemic Countries Open
Disease managers face many challenges when deciding on the most effective control strategy to manage an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Decisions have to be made under conditions of uncertainty and where the situation is continua…

Evaluating the benefits of vaccination when used in combination with stamping-out measures against hypothetical introductions of foot-and-mouth disease into New Zealand: a simulation study Open
AIMS: To evaluate the benefits of vaccination against simulated outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in New Zealand, when applied as an additional measure to stamping-out. METHODS: A simulation modelling approach was used. The study p…
