Main Results:

  • Models can predict outcomes for various 'what-if' scenarios.
  • Graphical representations effectively visualize complex interdependencies.
  • Several key epidemiologic relationships relevant to biosecurity were illustrated.

Conclusions:

  • Quantitative models, despite inherent simplifications, are valuable tools for biosecurity and biocontainment.
  • Visualizing model outputs aids in understanding influencing factors.
  • Further exploration of epidemiologic relationships in biosecurity is warranted.
