Representation of a typical disease transmission event and subsequent daily movements of the newly infected herd in the process model. Explanation: an infected herd (red square) and susceptible herd (blue circle) have overlapping daily home ranges (red and blue circles respectively). Classical Swine Fever transmission may occur according to an arbitrary probability. Following infection the incubating herd continues to move normally for several days (yellow dots) before becoming clinically affected (red dots) with shortened daily movements and eventually having all herd members killed (black cross). This infected herd does not contact another herd and CSF is not transmitted to another herd.
