PRESENTATION
De eerste Zombie resultaten van LowlandZ
My part in the LowlandZ project is providing the scientific basis, and analysing the data. I will illustrate my role by explaining the differences and similarities between the LowlandZ outbreaks and real infectious disease outbreaks. Then I will discuss what we may learn from the collected data.
