Sample analysis identified the infecting agent as foot-and-mouth disease virus strain O1BFS 1860, nearly identical to a strain held at the Pirbright laboratory.
The rest of this chapter concentrates on a brief introduction to epidemic theory. Epidemiological models have been used to study ecological and epidemiological ...

A necessary component of understanding vector-borne disease risk is accurate charac- terization of the distributions of their vectors.
Disease outbreaks are usually caused by an infection, transmitted through person- to-person contact, animal-to-person contact, or from the environment or other ...
