The U.S. Disease Outbreak Simulation model is a model where premises-to-premises transmission occurs by two routes -- long range transmission due to movement of infected animals informed by USAMM or local due to aerosol, fenceline, or fomite transmission.

Disease Outbreak Simulation

The model can be run to output single outbreaks or the summary statistics of many outbreaks in batch formulation. USDOSv2 runs on a laptop or supercomputer. Run times even on a laptop for a single outbreak are on the order of seconds to a few minutes (minutes for continental scale outbreaks). USDOSv2 is available as a C++ executable or in an R package.

USDOSv2 can most easily be used through the USDOSv2 R package.
