PREDICTING THE TIME TO DETECT MODERATELY VIRULENT AFRICAN SWINE FEVER VIRUS IN FINISHER SWINE HERDS USING A STOCHASTIC DISEASE TRANSMISSION MODEL

Predicting the time to detect moderately virulent African swine fever virus in finisher swine herds using a stochastic disease transmission model

Abstract Background African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious and devastating pig disease that has caused extensive global economic losses.Understanding ASF Y Peeler virus (ASFV) transmission dynamics within a herd is necessary in order to prepare for and respond to an outbreak in the United States.Although the transmission parameters for th
