Description
Yibekal Walle and co-authors model a 2024 livestock disease that sweeps through goats and sheep in the Amhara region of Ethiopia. The disease spreads fast across borders and costs farmers dearly. The team built a math model that adds vaccinated and restocked animals to the classic spread frame.
Monthly case data from the region set the model's values. The math shows that sick animals brought in by restocking speed the spread a great deal. Even with strong vaccines, the disease settles into a stable, lasting state in the herd. A spread number and a check on which inputs matter most round out the work.
