Table 5.

Estimated monthly incidence rate per 1000 animals for FMD in SR for each age group.

Age-group (in months) Prevalence (p) Average age at (in months) Proportion of susceptible St = (1-p) Age related risks* [1-(St/St-1)] Age-specific monthly incidence rate/1000 animals mt = -ln(1-Rt)/(at – at-1)
6 - <12 0.037 8.86 0.963 0.037 4.2
12 - 24 0.136 19.84 0.864 0.103 9.9
