A comparison of predictions made by three simulation models of foot-and-mouth disease

Agreement among the three models in terms of the numbers of premises predicted to become infected, the temporal onset of infection throughout the simulation period, and the spatial distribution of infected premises provides evidence that each of the model developers are consistent in their approach to simulating the spread of disease throughout a population of susceptible individuals.

Outbreaks of porcine reproductive failure: Report on a collaborative field investigation

The results suggest that the swine abortion outbreaks beginning in 1996 were more likely due to PRRS virus than to an emerging disease, and the US pork industry is vulnerable to emerging diseases, and needs to develop rapid capabilities for recognizing new infections and novel pathogens and strategies for detecting and controlling emerging diseases.
