ADSM
Animal Disease Spread Model
Overview
The Animal Disease Spread Model (ADSM) is a software application that simulates the spread of highly contagious animal diseases in a susceptible population. Applied control measures can influence the disease outbreak. ADSM features upgraded technology and a redesigned user interface combined with the trusted logic of NAADSM
-
Applications
Evaluate proposed disease control strategies for planning and policy decisions.
-
Provide “what if” scenarios for outbreak planning exercises.
-
Estimate consequences as part of the risk analysis process.
-
Assess the potential economic impacts of disease and associated control measures.
-
Provide input for emergency preparedness and surveillance plans and activities.
-
Create simple scenarios for an educational setting or complex scenarios for policy research.
-
Communicate principles of epidemiology and disease control.
-
Support researchers who incorporate disease modeling in their work.
-
Explore questions related to resources needed in the event of an outbreak.
-
Offer outreach and training in the use of disease models in general, and of ADSM in particular, to scientific and veterinary communities.
-
Key Characteristics
ADSM is herd based. Disease manifestation and transmission are represented at the level of a herd/flock of animals, rather than at the individual animal level.
-
ADSM is a state transition model. Each infected herd transitions from a susceptible state to and infected state and back to an immune state.
-
ADSM is a stochastic simulation. It mimics the random processes responsible for disease spread. Each simulated outbreak is the result of a unique series of random events and processes. When analyzed together, many simulated outbreaks represent a range of possible outcomes, given a set of shared assumption.
-
ADSM simulates spatial and temporal aspects of disease spread. Each herd in a scenario is assigned a physical location and disease progression occurs in daily time steps.
