Explorer Geographic and topographic determinants of local FMD transmission applied to the 2001 UK FMD epidemic
Background: Models of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) transmission have assumed a homogeneous landscape across which Euclidean distance is a suitable measure of the spatial dependency of transmission. This paper investigated features of the landscape and their impact on transmission during the period of predominantly local spread which followed the implementation of the national movement ban durin...

متن کاملTopographic determinants of foot and mouth disease transmission in the UK 2001 epidemic
BACKGROUND A key challenge for modelling infectious disease dynamics is to understand the spatial spread of infection in real landscapes. This ideally requires a parallel record of spatial epidemic spread and a detailed map of susceptible host density along with relevant transport links and geographical features. RESULTS Here we analyse the most detailed such data to date arising from the UK ...
متن کاملThe Changing Incidence of Left Displaced Abomasum and Uterine Torsion since the 2001 Uk Fmd Outbreak
Introduction: The UK FMD epidemic of 2001 was the largest the world had ever experienced (Rossides, 2002), resulting in the slaughter of over 4 million animals in support of the control strategy and a further 2.5 million on welfare grounds (Kitching et al 2005). Inevitably a tragedy on this scale ushers in an era of change.Impact analysis assesses the response in a time series to a discrete eve...
متن کاملThe Epidemiology of Fmd
FMD virus is an aphtovirus within the picornaviridae family. The most important characteristics in the epidemiology of the disease include the rapid growth of the virus, its stability under a variety of conditions and the occurrence of serotypes (Donaldson, 1991). There are seven serotypes and several subtypes within each. The infections caused by different serotypes are clinically indistinguis...
