Risk Assessment for Foreign Animal and Zoonotic Disease (with NCPFPD)
DHS has provided special funding to the NCFPD and FAZD Center for a study to compare and evaluate the various models now used for risk assessment and to explore their utility for foreign animal and zoonotic disease.
This study, which is being initiated now, involves comparison of existing models and identification of gaps in both data and modeling ability. This study will provide an important next step in organizing the existing array of related models for estimating the impact of either intentional or unintentional introduction of animal disease in the U.S.
