AI at the service of mechanistic epidemiological modelling (adapted from [51]). A. Modellers develop each epidemiological model de novo, producing specific codes not easily readable by scientists from other disciplines or by model end-users. B. Using AI approaches to combine a domain-specific language and an agent-based software architecture enhances reproducibility, transparency, and flexibility of epidemiological models. A simulation engine reads text files describing the system to automatically produce the model code. Complementary add-ons can be added if required. Models are easier to transfer to animal health managers as decision support tools.
