Quantifying the roles of host movement and vector dispersal in the transmission of vector-borne diseases of livestock.

The role of host movement in the spread of vector-borne diseases of livestock has been little studied. Here we develop a mathematical framework that allows us to disentangle and quantify the roles of vector dispersal and livestock movement in transmission between farms. We apply this framework to ou...
