Individual-based network model for Rift Valley fever in Kabale District, Uganda
Fig 1
Diagram of an individual-based network model that consists of a node transition graph and a contact network.
Circles in the node transition graph represent the four compartments susceptible (S), exposed (E), infectious (I), and recovered (R) of a node (i.e., of an individual cow), and arrows between the compartments show the direction of transition for each node (cow) with rates driven by parameters β (transmission rate), δ (infectious rate), and γ (recovery rate). Circles in the contact network, in turn, represent individual cows (i.e., nodes), and black lines linking circles represent opportunities for RVFV transmission.
