A discrete-time epidemiological model to quantify selection for disease resistance

1999-12-01

Abstract excerpt

A genetic epidemiological model (GEM) for investigating the effect of selection for disease resistance on the epidemiology of infectious diseases is presented and applied to a pig breeding scenario. Fundamental to the model is R0, the basic reproductive ratio. R0 is the expected number of secondary infections caused by a single infection. If R0 is greater than 1, there will be an epidemic. The aim of this model is...
