Note: The table gives, for a given impact and for a specific control strategy, the parts of variance explained by the initial conditions (place and date where the epizootic begins) and by the intrinsic variability of epizootics (residual variance). Impacts correspond to three stakeholders: government (indicator: public costs), agro-food industry (indicator: export losses), and public opinion (indicator: number of slaughtered herds).SO: basic stamping-out strategy, PV: protective vaccination, PS: preemptive slaughter, SPV: selective protective vaccination, SPS: selective preemptive slaughter, SPSV: selective preemptive slaughter and preventive vaccination, SV: suppressive vaccination. Impact indicators have been log-transformed.
