Systems and methods for monitoring movement of disease

A method for monitoring disease across agricultural areas of interest, the method comprising:

• receiving access notification information from at least one virtual zone corresponding to an agricultural geographic area of interest, wherein:
• the at least one virtual zone defined by at least one geofence, and
• each virtual zone associated with a zone record that includes a classification type of a level of risk indicating a likelihood of an outbreak of a disease detrimental to agriculture within the agricultural area of interest;
• and
• each virtual zone is configured to receive access notification information from each geofence when tracked devices enter an area defined by that geofence,
• the access information includes the level of risk associated with other virtual zones from which the tracked device came;
• and
• transmitting an alert message to a first device when the first device is in proximity to one of the at least one virtual zone, the alert message indicating if the first device should enter that virtual zone based in part on the level of risk classification type included in the zone record for that virtual zone,
• wherein the alert message is at least one of:
• based in part on a level of risk associated with at least one other virtual zone from which the first device came, or
• associated with a profile associated with the registered device, the alert message including quantitative information pertaining to the level of risk, the quantitative information including a protocol to be followed once devices having said profile enter the area.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, configures the at least one processor to:

• receive access notification information from at least one virtual zone corresponding to an agricultural geographic area of interest, wherein:
• the at least one virtual zone is defined by at least one geofence, and
• each virtual zone is associated with a zone record that includes a classification type of a level of risk indicating a likelihood of an outbreak of a disease detrimental to agriculture within the agricultural area of interest;
• and
• each virtual zone is configured to receive access notification information from each geofence when tracked devices enter an area defined by that geofence,
• the access information includes the level of risk associated with other virtual zones from which the tracked device came;
• and
• transmit an alert message to a first device when the first device is in proximity to one of the at least one virtual zone, the alert message indicating if the first device should enter that virtual zone based in part on the level of risk classification type included in the zone record for that virtual zone,
• wherein the alert message is at least one of:
• based in part on a level of risk associated with at least one other virtual zone from which the first device came, or
• associated with a profile associated with the registered device, the alert message including quantitative information pertaining to the level of risk, the quantitative information including a protocol to be followed once devices having said profile enter the area.
