Ongoing Feature Work *Jamie: No update at this time on work with UC Davis on genomics and evolving disease model *Nereyda: STEM modeling of pandemics in biodefense going well; not needing to do a lot of interventions; will have more updates next month Jamie: Suggests contacting Simone Bianco re high/low dimensional model 3. Updates *Kun: Collaboration in place with Santa Clara public health officials on West Nile disease *Kun: Gave two presentations on STEM as platform to study Zika; one in Miami, where they are focused on local transmission; the other in Brazil, where they have issues re regional differences in transmission; Jamie advises looking at environmental variables, Kun is discussing interplay with dengue with Mark *Kun: In contact with a Philippine team working to calibrate a model to study a hookworm type of infection common in the area *Jamie: Visited Colorado State University; researchers there have relationships with USDA and beef producers, vet is studying antimicrobial resistance *Werner: Will give 15-20 presentation on STEM to Science WG at Eclipse Europe; Kun will send him 5-10 recent slides on using STEM to model mosquito-borne disease 4.
