Two webinars entitled “Epidemix V2: Modeling African Swine Fever (ASF) and COVID-19” were held via Zoom on 10th November and 12th November 2020. They were co-organized by City University of Hong Kong, Royal Veterinary College, UK, and EPI-interactive, NZ.

The objective of the webinars was to demonstrate how to use the Epidemix model to explore epidemiological features of ASF and COVID-19 in relation to spread and control. There were a total of 239 registered participants from 44 countries/regions, from different international organizations (such as the Food and Agriculture Organization, and World Organization for Animal Health), government departments (Government of South Australia, Ministry for Primary Industries of New Zealand, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs of United Kingdom, Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, Washington State Department of Health and Manitoba Government), universities (e.g. the University of Sydney, Murdoch University, Colorado State University, John Carroll University, University of Georgia, University of Florida, Cornell University, etc.) and commercial companies.

During the webinar, Professor Dirk Pfeiffer (City University Hong Kong and Royal Veterinary College, UK), Dr. Guillaume Fournié (Royal Veterinary College, UK), and Dr. Petra Muellner (EPI-interactive NZ) gave the presentations.
