Predicted cost distribution (over 1000 iterations) for government (a) and farms (b), using National-level parameters, for a bovine tuberculosis outbreak in an average cow-calf herd under either depopulation (purple short-dashed line), the historical test-and-removal program (USDA:APHIS:VS, 2005) (red long-dashed line), or optimal test-and-removal (black solid line) with a 3 month testing interval and 2 negative whole-herd tests needed to clear quarantine.
