Incorporating heterogeneity in farmer disease control behaviour into a livestock disease transmission model
Date:
Event overview
I was an invited speaker at this two-day workshop on Infectious Disease Modelling with Human Behaviour, held as part of the IMMUNE project. The IMMUNE project, led by Prof. Alessia Melegaro at Bocconi University (Milan, Italy), aims to provide an interdisciplinary modelling framework that will explore the dynamics of human behaviour on infections’ spread (with a particular focus on vaccination behaviour), through the lens of social sciences.

Talk content
My talk summarised a recent study from the Farmer-led Epidemic and Endemic Disease-management (FEED) project, exploring the role of heterogeneous farmer behaviour to inform epidemiological models of livestock vaccination.
For more on this study, please see the associated publication in Preventive Veterinary Medicine.
