Modeling indicates standard controls may fail in dense zones; leaves open targeted FMDV strategies.
Mathematical modeling of FMDV transmission in the Netherlands identifies high-risk areas where standard ring culling or vaccination strategies may be insufficient for rapid epidemic control.
Boender et al. (2010) studied Foot-and-mouth disease. Ring culling and vaccination strategies was evaluated on Spatial transmission of FMDV and epidemic control. Mathematical modeling indicates that densely populated livestock areas in the Netherlands remain high-risk for prolonged FMDV transmission despite ring culling or vaccination.
