Table 1.

Posterior median and 95% highest-posterior density intervals (HPDI) for gamma-distributed latent and infectious period parameters, transmission parameter and basic reproduction number for three transmission experiments.

For FMDV in lambs there was no significant difference in latent period between inoculated and contact-infected animals.
