Project Credits

A wide range of scientists, projects and funding have contributed to the methodology described in this document. The main participants are listed here, but the authors wish to make special thanks to the participants of training courses and workshops, too numerous to mention, but who, through their keen engagement, questionning and suggestions have all strengthened and extended the framework described here.

Supporting Organisations

Australian Biosecurity Cooperative Research Centre: The AB-CRC funded the project under which further research was undertaken, a number of case studies conducted, and this web site developed. The project was led by Tony Martin.
Danish International EpiLab: The methodology was first developed in projects funded by the Disease Freedom theme of the Danish International EpiLab in the Danish Institute for Food and Veterinary Research, undertaken by Tony Martin and Angus Cameron, with the assistance of Matthias Greiner.
Zero Prevalence Workshop: The original ideas for this methodology were initially crystalised at a workshop convened by Mo Salman in Fort Collins, Colorado, immediately after the 2000 ISVEE meeting, and attended by many leading epidemiological researchers.
AusVet Animal Health Services: In addition to providing four of the leading scientists involved in the methodology's development, AusVet also developed the software and provides the web server and web space to host this web site.
