                                        Research Question
- Support decision-making by cost-benefit analysis of the options
 
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Assess cost-benefit of different management strategies of outbreaks
 - Shorten the length of carcass compost time
 - Ensure that cost-benefit assessment is comprehensive and cover all sectors and types of poultry
 
Solution Routes
- Develop rapid methods to assess when virus is inactive in order to optimise compost times (carcasses and eggs)
 - Cost of diagnostic surveillance compared to stamping out
 - Compare scenarios with and without vaccination
 
Dependencies
- Standard and effective sampling method for virus viability on carcasses and eggs
 - Properly list and describe all options and make sure to have the right methodology to assess the costs
 
State Of the Art
- In France a study was carried out to calculate costs of outbreaks and of costs of vaccination and monitoring
