-This blog post highlights some recent work by Epiverse software engineers to collaborate on research software, or researchware, to help improve an R package that was initially written in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic (January 2020 - May 2020) to assess the effectiveness of isolation and contact tracing effectiveness [@hellewellFeasibilityControllingCOVID192020]. It built on code written for the 2014-2016 West Africa Ebola outbreak to provide insights into ring vaccination [@kucharskiEffectivenessRingVaccination2016]. These applications and the general nature of the questions the package addresses suggest that it could be of great help in future infectious disease outbreaks, but has been dormant for the past few years.
