Simulation of disease outbreaks

The Swedish Emergency Management Agency funds this project, which investigates how populations at risk can be identified, informed, and protected during outbreaks of contagious disease and acts of bioterrorism. In particular, the project investigates social and logistical transmission paths.

The purpose of the project is to develop new knowledge about outbreaks of infectious disease in local communities as a basis for interventions and countermeasures.

The research team includes researchers from Linköping University and ANSER Strategic Studies, Washington DC.
