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 |
| >24 | 0.213 | 47.9 | 0.787 | 0.089 | 3.3 |
Age related risks are estimated over different lengths of times within the different age-groups.
