Chapter 29 Coming Soon! Surveillance and Prevention Allocation Model

Last updated 30 September 2024

29.1 What is the Surveillance and Prevention Allocation Model?

The Surveillance and Prevention Allocation Model integrates cost with disease risk to pinpoint the best surveillance strategy across administrative areas that are not known to harbor CWD.

29.2 What Questions Does it Answer?

Question 1. Where should I sample for CWD given a finite budget for sampling?

29.3 Output Details

A map containing the intensity of sampling in each sub-administrative area.

29.4 Abbreviated Tutorial

  1. Run the Surveillance and Prevention Allocation Model from the CWD Data Warehouse.
  2. Explore the surveillance prescriptions for each sub-administrative area.
