A semi-stochastic model of the transmission of Escherichia coli O157 in a typical UK dairy herd: Dynamics, sensitivity analysis and intervention/prevention strategies

When modelling the transmission of infection within small populations, it is necessary to consider the possibility of stochastic fade-out of infection. We present a semi-stochastic model for the transmission of a microparasite, in this case Escherichia coli O157, within a multigroup system, namely a...
