SUMMARY:Comparative insights from modelling animal and human infectious di
 seases and applications for One Health - Emily Nixon (University of Liverp
 ool)

DESCRIPTION:Having started out my research career in the world of mathemat
 ical modelling of infectious diseases in livestock\, I shifted my focus to
  human disease when I joined JUNIPER as an Early Career Researcher in 2020
  as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response. While there were many similari
 ties in modelling animal and human disease\, I also noticed some differenc
 es. These were most visible in the motivation for doing the work\, the fun
 ding and data that are available\, in (some of) the modelling approaches u
 sed\, in the metrics observed and in the wider interest for the applicatio
 n. In this talk\, I would like to discuss the similarities and differences
  that I have experienced. I will then go on to examine how these two field
 s\, along with other relevant fields\, can strengthen each other to furthe
 r develop infectious disease modelling within a One Health framework\, tak
 ing into account the health of humans\, animals and their shared environme
 nt\, in order to work towards the prevention of future pandemics.
