Table 3.

Model outputs recorded during Classical Swine Fever simulations in wild pigs in north-west Australia

Output measure Description Best model prediction Median (95% probability intervals)
Outbreak description of highly virulent strain (without control or surveillance)

Proportion of introductions established (%) The proportion of all simulations where a single point introduction leads to disease establishment (disease spreads to more than one herd) 0.98 (0.95-1.00)

Days to disease fade out The number of days in which infected herds are present 759 (180-1424)

Infected herds The total number of herds infected throughout the simulation 1302 (293-2707)

Total herds extirpated The number of herds where every member died due to infection with CSF 563 (138-1146)

Incidence rate The number of herds infected/day 1.86(1.14-2.73)

Area infected (km2) The area of a minimum convex hull established around every infected herd throughout the epidemic 5979 (580-20537)

Area per day (km2/day) The area of a minimum convex hull established around every infected herd throughout the epidemic/days of epidemic 9 (3-17)

Cumulative incidence Proportion of herds infected (%) = The total number of infected herds/total herds in contiguous population 33 (14-70)
