Disease Transmission Between And Within Species, And The Implications For
Disease Control, J. Appl. Ecol.
 









Summary: Disease transmission can occur between and within species for diseases
with multiple hosts. If these diseases are undesirable, for economic or health
reasons, then the relative importance of each type of transmission should be
determined. Bovine tuberculosis (Tb) caused by Mycobacterium bovis is one such
undesirable disease. Age-specific prevalence data obtained from cross-sectional
surveys was modelled to estimate the effect of experimental reductions in possum
population density on the force of M. bovis infection in ferrets. These results
have management implications for other multiple-host diseases around the world,
such as bovine tuberculosis and rabies.
