Table 2. Parameter values used in the swIAV infection dynamics model.

Rate Event Sources Base value Variation in the uncertainty analysis
β1 Transmission rate due to infected animals I1 [16] 2.43a -
φ Susceptibility to reinfection Best guess 0.75 0.50–0.75–1.0
βair Between-batch transmission rate Best guess 0.1 0.01–0.05–0.1–0.3–0.50–1
ε Susceptibility to infection for piglets having MDAs [16] Mean = 0.39 -
γ1 Recovery rate for infected animals I1 (days-1) [16] 1 / 6.1 -
σ1 Immunity waning after the first infection (days-1) Projected from field observations 1 / 180 90–120–150–180–240–360
σm Maternal immunity waning (days-1) [39,40] 1 / 70 -

a β1 is 1.41 in the service room [16] as sows are reared in specific conditions (see “Parametrization” section for more details).
