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).
