Webinar “Agent-Based Model for Bovine Viral Diarrhea” by Jörn Gethmann and Jason Bassett

Webinar "Agent-Based Model for Bovine Viral Diarrhea" by Jörn Gethmann and Jason Bassett 1

On December 1st, we organized a webinar on an Agent-Based Model for Bovine Viral Diarrhea presented by Jörn Gethmann (Friedrich-Loeffer Institut, Federeal Research Institute for Animal Health, Germany) and Jason Bassett (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Germany).

In Germany, a nationwide compulsory program to eradicate Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is in force since January 2011. As it is associated with substantial expenditures, the speakers of the webinar developed an individual based model to simulate several disease control options (scenarios).
In this webinar they presented the general approach of individual based models and the use case for BVD. The presentation focussed on animal health economics related to disease control.
