Over the past decade there has been a notable increase in the magnitude and variety of modelling work in the realm of animal health. Similarly, there has been an increase in the extent to which modelling is used as a component in the development of animal health policy. The increased dependency on modelling creates a need to enhance understanding and linkages between policy-makers (those that pose the policy or scientific questions, commission modelling work and use model outputs in the development of policy), intermediaries (those that are responsible for working with modellers and communicating model results to policy-makers), and modellers. Development of a lexicon of disease spread modelling terms can help support clear communication and collaboration between all players.
在过去十年中，动物健康领域建模工作的规模和种类显著增加。同样，建模作为动物健康政策制定的一个组成部分，其使用程度也有所提高。对建模的依赖性增强，这就需要增进政策制定者（提出政策或科学问题、委托开展建模工作并在政策制定过程中使用模型输出结果的人员）、中介机构（负责与建模人员合作并将模型结果传达给政策制定者的人员）和建模人员之间的理解与联系。制定疾病传播建模术语词典有助于支持所有参与方之间的清晰沟通与协作。
