Task 4b: Adaptation of research models to users’ needs

Research models will be adapted to account for users’ needs formulated in T4a.

The models will be simplified or their source code optimised to provide time efficient tools. The models (each for a given pathogen) will be made as generic as possible with regard to herd types (size, structure, production) and control measures that can be evaluated. Finally, in relation to WP3, economic evaluations should be possible with the proposed tools.
