Zoonotic Outbreak Response
Interactive simulation modules for microbiology and zoonotic disease outbreak investigation
Interactive simulation modules for microbiology and zoonotic disease outbreak investigation
Search for the spillover source using clinical specimens. Allocate a $50,000 budget across bacterial culture, multiplex PCR, electron microscopy, and metagenomic WGS.
Control an H5N1 outbreak across 36 commercial poultry farms. Choose between ring culling and vaccination under time and budget pressure.
Investigate a novel zoonotic outbreak. Collect samples from hospitals, markets, and farms, then reconstruct the transmission chain via phylogenetic analysis.
Optimize PCR testing for a city of 240,000 under a $400,000 budget. Balance technician headcount against equipment to maximize testing throughput.
Run a full SEIR epidemic model. Decide when to deploy vaccines versus antivirals and weigh the risk of antiviral resistance against symptom reduction.
