Comparing Livestock Mobility-Informed Strategies for Peste des Petits Ruminants Control in Nigeria: The Central Role of the Network Backbone

The paper compares PPR control strategies in Nigeria using a livestock mobility network, finding that targeting the network backbone is most effective in reducing epidemic outcomes.

Effectiveness and equity of vaccination strategies against Rift Valley fever in a heterogeneous landscape

The paper evaluates vaccination strategies for Rift Valley fever in the Comoros archipelago, finding that optimal allocation improves effectiveness but creates inequity, while animal tagging enhances outcomes across all rates.

Simulating the diffusion of PPR-like disease to improve surveillanc

The paper simulates the spread of a PPR-like disease using mobility data to identify sentinel nodes and assess the impact of missing movement data on epidemic prediction.

Assessing the impact of structural modifications in the construction of surveillance network for transboundary animal diseases: the role of backbone and sentinel nodes

The paper identifies sentinel nodes in Nigeria's livestock movement network to improve PPR surveillance, finding 45% of backbone nodes remain stable across configurations.
