牲畜传染病的传播原则上与任何其他动物的疾病传播没有区别，除了控制的目的最终是经济的，社会，政治和福利限制的影响往往定义不清。牲畜疾病的建模同时受到丰富和缺乏数据的影响。一方面，能够进行传播实验、详细的宿主内研究和在地理编码地点之间跟踪个别动物，使牲畜疾病成为一个特别丰富的潜在现实数据来源，用于阐明传播的生物机制和对接触网络进行明确分析。另一方面，与人类疾病相比，资金短缺往往导致世界上许多牲畜疾病和地区的数据不完整和不完整。在牲畜疾病建模挑战的概述中，我们强调了牲畜特有的八个领域，如果得到解决，将标志着该领域的重大进展。(C)2014作者由爱思唯尔公司出版
The transmission of infectious diseases of livestock does not differ in principle from disease transmission in any other animals, apart from that the aim of control is ultimately economic, with the influence of social, political and welfare constraints often poorly defined. Modelling of livestock diseases suffers simultaneously from a wealth and a lack of data. On the one hand, the ability to conduct transmission experiments, detailed within-host studies and track individual animals between geocoded locations make livestock diseases a particularly rich potential source of realistic data for illuminating biological mechanisms of transmission and conducting explicit analyses of contact networks. On the other hand, scarcity of funding, as compared to human diseases, often results in incomplete and partial data for many livestock diseases and regions of the world. In this overview of challenges in livestock disease modelling, we highlight eight areas unique to livestock that, if addressed, would mark major progress in the area. (C) 2014 The Authors.
