Preparing for containment and mitigation of pandemic H5N1 influenza, Uses of statistical and mathematical modeling [1]
[]
Date: 2024-11-14
Virtual meeting on Thursday, 14 November 2024 from 13:00 to 18:00 CET (Geneva time)
Influenza H5 pathogens have been included in the list of priority pathogens by the WHO R&D Blueprint1. To coordinate efforts for containment and mitigation of H5N1, and especially to evaluate the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics, a mathematical modelling group has been created in the R&D Blueprint and is organizing this virtual consultation to describe how statistical and mathematical models can aid in dealing with this pandemic threat.
OBJECTIVES
Outline of the current pandemic threat and potential containment or mitigation of influenza A (H5N1) or some other variant
Understand the analytical and statistical tools available and how to apply them to containment efforts
Understand the current mathematical modeling tools available and how to apply them to containment and mitigation efforts
Describe what new analytic and mathematical models need to be developed and integrated into the response to pandemic influenza A(H5N1)
Devise an approach to coordinate the analytical and modeling efforts both within and outside of WHO with a cohesive collaborative plan
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
