Discussion

Viraemia may predict FMD infectivity in sheep; leaves open validation for outbreak control.

Population

Sheep in experimental outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD)

Intervention

Bayesian analysis using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) on a susceptible-exposed-infectious-removed non-Markovian compartmental model

Outcome

Transmission dynamics and viraemic level decline

A Bayesian compartmental model suggests that individual infectivity of foot-and-mouth disease in sheep is related to viraemia levels.

Streftaris et al. (2004) studied this question.
