Fig. 3From: Understanding the early dynamics of the 2014 porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) outbreak in Ontario using the incidence decay and exponential adjustment (IDEA) modelBest fit values for the control parameter (d) at each epidemic generation assuming a 7-day generation time. Values greater than zero are indicative of epidemic slowing. Although the control parameter values were greater than zero from generation three onwards, the magnitude of the value changed over time. The control parameter dropped between generation 3 and 4 indicating epidemic acceleration followed by deceleration of the epidemic growth from generation 4 onwardsBack to article page
