A mathematical model of the dynamics of scrapie in a sheep flock.

Mathematical biosciences - 1 Nov 1998

Stringer S M, Hunter N, Woolhouse M E

Abstract excerpt

A mathematical model is developed for the dynamics of an outbreak of scrapie in a single sheep flock with the aim of assisting the interpretation of field data. The model incorporates age structure of the sheep population, both horizontal and vertical transmission, genetic predisposition to infection, variable initial load of the infectious agent, and increasing infection load during an incubation period of the...
