This study examines how different risk proxies affect host movement and disease transmission, finding that mismatched proxies can increase rather than decrease disease spread.

This study shows that H5N1 spreads rapidly within dairy farms, limiting the effectiveness of current control measures and highlighting the need for more sensitive surveillance and biosecurity practices.

The paper models within-herd transmission of H5N1 in dairy cattle, estimates R0 near 1.2, and develops a web tool for outbreak simulation and control strategy analysis.
