Management of invading pathogens should be informed by epidemiology rather than administrative boundaries
Plant and animal disease outbreaks have significant ecological and economic impacts. The spatial extent of control is often informed solely by administrative geography - for example, quarantine of an entire county or state once an invading disease is detected - with little regard for pathogen epidemiology. We present a stochastic model for the spread of a plant pathogen that couples spread in t...
متن کاملControl fast or control smart: When should invading pathogens be controlled?
The intuitive response to an invading pathogen is to start disease management as rapidly as possible, since this would be expected to minimise the future impacts of disease. However, since more spread data become available as an outbreak unfolds, processes underpinning pathogen transmission can almost always be characterised more precisely later in epidemics. This allows the future progression ...
متن کاملMeasurements Should Generate Value, Rather than Data
Success factors for measurement programs as identified in the literature typically focus on the ‘internals’ of the measurement program: incremental implementation, support from management, a well-planned metrics framework, and so on. However, for a measurement program to be successful within its larger organizational context, it has to generate value for the organization. This implies that atte...
متن کاملShould women be informed of breast density?
Over the past 2 years, the breast advocacy group known as Are You Dense? has gained recognition through its quest to ensure that women with dense breast tissue have access to early breast cancer diagnosis. Their stated mission is to ensure that women are informed of their breast density, the limitations of mammography in detecting breast cancer in dense breast tissue, and the added risk that de...
متن کاملAdministrative Systems for Universities Should Be More Than Just a Spreadsheet

The system is to provide something interesting or useful for everyone. The access to the system must be transparent, i.e. all applications have web interface. Apart from around 15 thousand students (who use the system at least occasionally), IS MU ...
