Figure 8

Probability of persistence of the within-farm infection five years after infection set up as a function of farms’ characteristics. Two scenarios are shown: 1% of the farms initially infected, uniformly sampled, and with medium levels of within-herd prevalence (circles) and 10% of the farms initially infected, uniformly sampled, and with high levels of within-herd prevalence (diamonds). The four farms’ characteristics tested are the number of animals purchased (in-strength: black), the number of animals sold (out-strength: blue), the polarity (red), and the size (grey). Each of these characteristics is divided into six intervals (min and max values for each interval are indicated), and the average probability of persistence is calculated for each group.
