Division 6.3 MODEL TO DETERMINE THE RISK LEVEL OF FARMS AND MOLLUSC FARMING AREAS
United Kingdom
This model to determine the risk level (high/medium/low) of farms or mollusc farming areas comprises three steps:
Approximation of the likelihood of the contraction of disease on the farm or in the mollusc farming area;
Approximation of the likelihood of the spread of disease from the farm or mollusc farming area;
Combining the estimates of risk levels resulting from steps I and II.
Step I
Approximation of the likelihood of the contraction of disease on the farm or in the mollusc farming area
| Likelihood of the contraction of disease via water and due to the geographical proximity of farms and mollusc farming areas | Likelihood of the contraction of disease through movements of aquaculture animals | Level of risk |
|---|---|---|
| High | High | High |
| High | Low | Medium |
| Low | High | Medium |
| Low | Low | Low |
Step II
Approximation of the likelihood of the spread of disease from the farm or mollusc farming area
| Likelihood of the spread of disease via water and due to the geographical proximity of farms and mollusc farming areas | Likelihood of the spread of disease through movements of aquaculture animals | Level of risk |
|---|---|---|
| High | High | High |
| High | Low | Medium |
| Low | High | Medium |
| Low | Low | Low |
Step III
Combining the estimates of risk levels resulting from steps I and II
| Step I. Likelihood of the contraction of disease | High | M | H | H |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium | L | M | H | |
| Low | L | L | M | |
| Low | Medium | High | ||
| Step II. Likelihood of the spread of disease | ||||
