Table 2. Cost reductions predicted by variations of the spatial model.

Model Variant Total Flight Vaccine
Baseline model 22% 4% 18%
0.7 herd immunity threshold 16% 2% 15%
Temporary immunity 29% 4% 25%
Clustered vaccine distribution 22% 5% 16%
Lagged immunity 21% 4% 17%
Lifelong vaccine infection 29% 10% 19%
25% Increased vaccine cost 16% 2% 14%

“Total” column shows the percent reduction in total costs that result from using a transmissible vaccine with R0,v = 1, relative a nontransmissible vaccine. “Flight” and “Vaccine” columns decompose the total reduction into savings from flight expenses, and expenses due to the purchase of vaccine baits. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number. The Baseline model describes a host population density of 10 km−2. Other parameters of the Baseline model are: d = 0.416 yr−1, δv = 12 yr−1, ξ = 0.25 km, Cf = 18.16 km−1, Cb = 2.12.
