Establishing a cost-effective national surveillance system for Bluetongue using scenario tree modelling
Vector-borne diseases pose a special challenge to veterinary authorities due to complex and time-consuming surveillance programs taking into account vector habitat. Using stochastic scenario tree modelling, each possible surveillance activity of a future surveillance system can be evaluated with regard to its sensitivity and the expected cost. The overall sensitivity of various potential survei...
متن کاملEvaluation of the cost-effectiveness of bovine brucellosis surveillance in a disease-free country using stochastic scenario tree modelling
Surveillance systems of exotic infectious diseases aim to ensure transparency about the country-specific animal disease situation (i.e. demonstrate disease freedom) and to identify any introductions. In a context of decreasing resources, evaluation of surveillance efficiency is essential to help stakeholders make relevant decisions about prioritization of measures and funding allocation. This s...
متن کاملEstablishing a National Syndromic Surveillance System among Asylum Seekers
Introduction Most European countries are facing a continuous increased influx of asylum seekers [1]. Poor living conditions in crowded shelters and refugee camps increase the risk for outbreaks of infectious diseases in this vulnerable population. In line with ECDC recommendations [2], we aim to improve information on infectious diseases among asylum seekers by establishing a new syndromic surv...
متن کاملEvaluation of temporal surveillance system sensitivity and freedom from bovine viral diarrhea in Danish dairy herds using scenario tree modelling
BACKGROUND The temporal sensitivity of the surveillance system (TemSSe) for Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) in Danish dairy herds was evaluated. Currently, the Danish antibody blocking ELISA is used to test quarterly bulk tank milk (BTM). To optimize the surveillance system as an early warning system, we considered the possibility of using the SVANOVIR ELISA, as this test has been shown to detect B...
متن کاملScenario tree modelling for multistage stochastic programs
An important issue for solving multistage stochastic programs consists in the approximate representation of the (multivariate) stochastic input process in the form of a scenario tree. In this paper, forward and backward approaches are developed for generating scenario trees out of an initial fan of individual scenarios. Both approaches are motivated by the recent stability result in [15] for op...
