These calculators can be used for the simple analysis of risk-based surveillance. They are simplified versions of the scenario-tree modelling tools for the analysis of complex surveillance systems to demonstration freedom from disease or for the early detection of disease (available at https://www.ausvet.com.au/tools-resources/). These calculators use simple common surveillance system structures that allow the calculation of the sensitivity of a risk-based or biased surveillance system, and the calculation of the required sample size to achieve a target sensitivity.
