Modeling Marek's disease virus transmission: A framework for evaluating the impact of farming practices and evolution
10 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Marek's disease virus (MDV) is a pathogen of chickens whose control has twice been undermined by pathogen evolution. Disease ecology is believed to be the main driver of this evolution, yet mathematical models of MDV disease ecology have never been confronted with data to test their reliability. Here, we develop a suite of MDV models that differ in the ecological mechanisms they include. We fit these models with...
