SUMMARY:Incorporating uncertainty into the optimal development of disease 
 control measures - Ciara Dangerfield\, Chris Gilligan Lab
DTSTART:20160310T130000Z

CONTACT:Jeongmin Choi
DESCRIPTION:Plant diseases result in significant economic and environmenta
 l damage\, therefore control measures are often deployed to try to minimis
 e such impacts. However\, due to the uncertainty in the future disease\, c
 ombined with the large sunk costs of disease control it can be beneficial 
 to wait and learn more about the epidemic before deploying control measure
 s. In this talk I will show how mathematical modelling techniques can be u
 sed to determine the optimal time at which control measures should be depl
 oyed\, given the uncertainty in the future spread of the disease.
