The FMD App Toolkit is a website designed to aid veterinary officials in the management and control over the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD).
- Uses mechanistic modelling approach to calculate herd immunity thresholds and assess seroprotection levels.
- Provides risk assessment which might aid in decision-making and resource allocation.
- User friendly design.
This application is designed using Flask. The website templates are based on HTML and CSS. The simulation modelling is written using Python code. The HTML templates are rendered in the web browser through Jinja Templating.
The important libraries used for the development are as follows:
- Numpy: For handling data in the form of arrays.
- Matplotlib: Visualising the data.
- Flask: For running the Python code in the backend.
- Datetime: For handling realtime date.
We are planning on adding a vaccination prioritisation tool which will provide an insight on the region that needs to be vaccinated based on the herd immunity and seroprotection levels. We are also adding a user interface for compartmental model like Patch SIM.
