For the farm-node dynamics, it takes\ninto account a vast number of breeding, infectious and animal movement\nmechanisms via a susceptible-infected-recovered type of dynamics with an\nadditional permanently infectious class. The interaction between the farms is\ndescribed by a supply-demand farm manager mechanism governing the network\nstructure and dynamics. The model includes realistic disease and breeding\ndynamics and allows to study numerous mitigation strategies of present and past\ngovernment regulations, including different testing and vaccination scenarios.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1812.06964v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.06964v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-agent-based-model-for-bovine-viral","repo_url":"https://github.com/Yperidis/bvd_agent_based_model","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"model","task_name":"model"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
