Figure 4From: Topographic determinants of foot and mouth disease transmission in the UK 2001 epidemicPercentage reduction in R0 across the river Severn (A) and the Solway Firth (B) due to their presence. For every farm i, we calculate 1 - ∑ j S j K(ri,j)/∑ j S j K(ei,j), where j is in the set of all farms within 10 km of i and on the opposite side of the estuary to it, S j is the susceptibility of farm j given by S j = Ns,j+ 10Nc,j[5] and ei,jis Euclidean distance and ri,jis shortest route. These values are Gaussian smoothed over a 5 km radius and then averaged. Blue: water, green: no farms.Back to article page
