Since outbreak and surveillance investigations typically focus on highly transmissible agents with more severe illnesses, the somewhat lower secondary attack rate observed in this study of unidentified, mixed agents is not surprising.
GLEaMviz is a client-server software system that can model the world-wide spread of epidemics for human transmissible diseases like influenza-like illnesses (ILI), offering extensive flexibility in the design of the compartmental model and scenario setup, including computationally-optimized numerical simulations based on high-resolution global demographic and mobility data.
The Agriculture Department moved in July to seize the 355 sheep, which were imported from Belgium, after a laboratory test indicated that four were infected with a form of "transmissible spongiform encephalopathy," a family of illnesses that includes mad cow disease.
