2022 journal article

Multiple species animal movements: network properties, disease dynamics and the impact of targeted control actions

VETERINARY RESEARCH, 53(1).

By: N. Cardenas n, A. Sykes n, F. Lopes* & G. Machado n

MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Cattle; Cattle Diseases / epidemiology; Cattle Diseases / prevention & control; Epidemics / veterinary; Farms; Livestock; Swine; Swine Diseases / epidemiology; Transportation
TL;DR: A stochastic multilevel model was developed to simulate scenarios in which infection was seeded into single host and multi-host farms to quantify disease spread potential, and simulate network-based control actions used to evaluate the reduction of secondarily infected farms.
