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.

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.

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