Abstract: A method for monitoring disease across agricultural areas of interest is provided comprising displaying at least one virtual zone corresponding to an agricultural geographic area of interest on a map in an application on a first device, and receiving an alert message when the first device is in proximity to a virtual zone. The at least one virtual zone is defined by at least one geofence. Each virtual zone is associated with a level of risk that indicates a likelihood of an outbreak of a disease detrimental to agriculture. 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 devices came. The alert message indicates if the first device should enter that virtual zone.

Abstract: A method for monitoring movement of disease across agricultural areas of interest including providing, using one or more processors and one or more data storage devices, a virtual zone generator and disease movement monitor, defining, using the virtual zone generator, a plurality a virtual zones, each virtual zone corresponding to an agricultural geographic area of interest and identifying a location for the agricultural geographic area of interest, receiving a plurality of raw-data sets from a plurality of tracking devices, each tracking device corresponding to a vector or fomite that has the potential to carry a disease detrimental to agriculture, each raw data set corresponding to a tracking device and comprising an identification code identifying the tracking device, a timestamp corresponding to the time the raw data was generated by the tracking device, and location information for the tracking device, and generating disease movement data, using the disease movement monitor, by correlating the raw data s
