This will enable better prioritisation of the potentially large number of premises that could undergo surveillance in an outbreak situation.
In particular, connections via slaughterhouses can connect a large number of premises over a large geographical area, important in the potential for virus dissemination.
Should it prove true, surveillance should be targeted at those premises connected to the largest slaughterhouse in order to prevent disease spreading to a large number of premises.
Poultry premises using multiple slaughterhouses lead to a large number of premises being potentially connected, with the resultant potential for large and sometimes widespread epidemics.
Connections through slaughterhouses potentially links surprisingly large numbers of premises, over long distances.
Contrary to expectations, however, the frequency of movements of catching teams between premises is not high enough to connect large numbers of premises, reducing the potential for a large outbreak spread via this route, in GB.
Although this suggests that slaughterhouses potentially link the largest number of premises and therefore have the highest potential for widespread dissemination of virus, should virus transmit via this route, the size of the GC was highly sensitive to the number of slaughterhouses used per premises.
(However, see Gill (1996, 64, n. 107), who contends that D2A8 and D2A9 are fallacious, and Patterson (1999, 98 100), who argues that D2A8 is fallacious).) Like the Arguments of D1, the Arguments of D2 rest on a large number of independent premises, including many of the independent premises of D1.
It has already been shown that AIVs have the potential to be spread to a large number of poultry premises via movement of humans and fomites [ 8, 9].
MaLARea is intended to be used in large theories, i.e. problems with a large number of symbols, definitions, premises, lemmas, and theorems.
Since the early 1990s, magistrates and local authorities have permitted large numbers of licensed premises to open in city centres, many of them until the early morning.
