Flow diagram summarising surveillance and disease transmission in the model. The relationship between the transfer and detection of TB through daily livestock movements (blue arrows) and epidemiology and detection resolved monthly at holding level (black). The pre-movement test and slaughter surveillance streams are distinguished from herd tests. Symbols in the transmission equations are: N = number of cattle in herd, I = number of infected cattle, S = number of susceptible cattle, β = cattle to cattle transmission parameter, q = power law for cattle to cattle transmission and h = environment to cattle transmission parameter
