Bio: Professor Karine Chalvet-Monfray is a veterinarian and full professor of Statistics and Epidemiology at VetAgro Sup (Lyon, France) since 2013. She obtained a PhD in Biometrics in 1996 and accreditation to supervise medical research in 2006. Since 2015, she is Deputy Head of the research unit “epidemiology of animal and zoonotic diseases” at INRAE. She teaches the modelling of infectious diseases in the faculty of medicine (Lyon and Grenoble). Her topic of interest is the modelling of zoonotic infectious diseases in link with the environment and weather.
Abstract: Modelling is a simplification approach that aims to help understand, predict and help make decisions. The health crisis of the last two years has brought to light modelling in epidemiology, which has been around for a long time. Modelling in epidemiology can take very different formats depending on the objectives, data and knowledge available. The interests and disadvantages are not the same depending on the methods used, but there are still common points and points of vigilance. The modelling of infectious diseases within the framework of a “One Health” approach requires taking into account the specificities of animal and environmental populations. These specificities vary according to the scales considered and the objectives envisaged. The presentation will be based on various examples and new approaches will be discussed.
Language of talk: French with English translation
