AADIS was used for a 2019 Master’s research project on the effect of a national livestock standstill on the size and duration of an outbreak of FMD in Australia. The collaborators on this project were FVAS, CEBRA and DPIRD.

EuFMDiS is a multi-country extension of the AADIS modelling framework for transboundary animal disease in Europe. The development of EuFMDiS was sponsored by the European Commission for the control of FMD within the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
Collaborators on this project are EuFMD and the national veterinary authorities of Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Ireland, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovenia and Spain.
AADIS was used to estimate the return on investment of active surveillance of FMD. The collaborators on this project were DPIRD, Ausvet and CEER.

A mathematical model of the within-farm spread of ASF spread was developed as part of an FVAS Honour’s research project. Collaborators on this project were CEBRA and FVAS.
CEBRA project 1608B extended the AADIS model to represent insect vectors of livestock disease. AADIS was subsequently extended to represent the spread and control of bluetongue virus as part of an FVAS PhD project. The collaborators on these projects were DAWE, CEBRA, FVAS and USDA.

The FMD Ready project is enhancing and utilising AADIS to assess alternate approaches to post-outbreak surveillance and management options for vaccinated animals to support proof-of-freedom and a faster return to trade. Collaborators on this project are DAWE and CSIRO.
The Biosecurity Innovation Program within the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (DAWE) has sponsored the adaption of AADIS to model the spread and control of African swine fever (ASF) in the Australian domestic pig population. Collaborators on this project are DAWE, CEBRA, FVAS and BQ.
CEBRA project 20121501 is extending the AADIS model to represent the spread of ASF in the feral pig population and between the feral and domestic pig populations. Collaborators on this project are DAWE, CEBRA, FVAS and BQ.
