- Abstract:
- We will develop a spatially-explicit model of the dynamics of the 2002 phocine distemper epizootic that can be used to predict levels of mortality around the UK. Urgency funding is required so that modelling work can begin before the epizootic has taken hold in Scotland and can be used to design a monitoring programme funded by central government. Apart from its applied importance, this is a unique scientific opportunity to understand the spatio-temporal dynamics of a marine epizootic and to develop generic methods for modelling the dynamics of diseases that affect spatially-structured populations.
