Sentence examples for epizootic model from inspiring English sources

To study the effects of baculovirus behavioural manipulation and liquefaction on viral fitness, we begin with a compartmental epizootic model similar to a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) model [ 21].

We construct an epizootic model of baculovirus transmission to link viral fitness to genotypes with each combination of features and demonstrate that there are valid evolutionary paths from a hypothetical virus with neither feature to one such as LdMNPV with both.

At the end of the 1988 epizootic, the model predicted that less than 5% of the population had not been infected by PDV, while 60% had died of the disease, and 35% recovered.

More intense sampling (e.g., every few days) of wild bee populations is needed to determine if our model accurately predicts epizootic waves and week-to-week changes in pathogen prevalence near greenhouses.

While the unforced SEI model exhibits long-term epizootic cycles only for large values of R 0), the seasonal model exhibits multiyear periodicity for small values of R 0).

Daniel J. Salkeld of Stanford University and colleagues used data from black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies in Colorado to develop computational models that simulated periods of epidemics (epizootic phase) and quiescence (enzootic phase) in the plague bacterium (Yersinia pestis) transmitted by the prairie dog flea (Oropsylla hirsuta).

Measured costs of an epizootic of raccoon rabies in New Jersey were used to model the costs and benefits of a hypothetical ORV program (27 ).

In the model, an introduced rabies infection would usually cause an epizootic.

With its plumage color dimorphism and unique history in North America, including a recent population expansion and an epizootic of Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), the house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) is a model species for studying sexual selection, plumage coloration and host-parasite interactions.

The disease dynamics model was then used to estimate the size of future epizootics should PDV be reintroduced in the Wadden Sea harbour seal population.

In the field, although we did not observe a large epizootic wave of infection, the prevalences of C. bombi near greenhouses were consistent with our model.
