Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) approaches in animal health (AH) makes it possible to
address highly complex issues such as those encountered in quantitative and predictive …

Over the past several decades, infectious disease modeling has become an essential tool
for creating counterfactual scenarios that allow the effectiveness of different disease control …

Trade or sharing that moves infectious planting material between farms can, for vertically-
transmitted plant diseases, act as a significant force for dispersal of pathogens, particularly …

We define and study an open stochastic SIR (Susceptible–Infected–Removed) model on a
graph in order to describe the spread of an epidemic on a cattle trade network with …

Healthcare information in diverse formats has been steadily boosting the growth of health
systems. This information covers a wide range of new sources, such as computer files, cell …

Trade is a complex, multi-faceted process that can contribute to the spread and persistence
of disease. We here develop novel mechanistic models of supply. Our model is framed …

We develop and apply analytically tractable generative models of livestock movements at
national scale. These go beyond current models through mechanistic modelling of …

Contact structure among livestock populations influences the transmission of infectious
agents among them. Models simulating realistic contact networks therefore have important …

Abstract Bovine Viral Diarrhea (BVD) is a cattle disease that causes substantial financial
losses, in particular to the dairy industry. Hence, several countries including Germany …

We study network centrality measures that take into account the specific structure of
networks with time-stamped edges. In particular, we explore how such measures can be …
