Multi-lingual scenario exercises are now available for the African Swine Fever and Avian Influenza disease-specific models in Epidemix. These allow users to investigate the transmission dynamics of both ASF & AI and their implementation on detection and spread in depth. To access, simply open the relevant model and select the “Scenario exercise” tab.
Switch model type to "Disease-specific" and select either "African Swine Fever (ASF)" or "Avian Influenza (AI)"
Navigate to the fourth tab
Navigate the scenario exercise using the progress bar and Next/Previous buttons

The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has developed a set of guidelines that aim to assist OIE Members and stakeholders of the pig industry in the practical implementation of compartmentalisation, specifically for African Swine Fever (ASF). Epidemix is used in the guidelines to demonstrate how dynamic modelling can help risk management, support stakeholder interactions and assist in the design of rapid detection surveillance systems. Epidemix’s ASF model helps demonstrate the importance of different transmission characteristics and allows users to explore different disease introduction scenarios.
