Landscape and disease components of model. (a) Landscapes consisted of 1 km² grid cells with four zones. Raccoons infected with rabies virus were introduced to the seeding zone; breach occurred when an infectious individual crossed into the breach zone. (b) Transitions between S (susceptible), E (exposed), I (infectious) and R (recovered) disease states are governed by the force of infection ($\lambda$), incubation rate (δ) and disease‐induced mortality rate (α). Demographic rates include birth (b) and natural death (d)
