Transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) is a viral disease causing dehydration, diarrhoea and death in pigs. The disease is widespread in pig-producing areas of the world but does not occur in Australia. A mathematical model of TGE spread within a pig herd is proposed and calibrated by reference to published data. The model is then applied to two situations of special interest; first to estimate the delay before detection of TGE (6 to over 30 days) when infection is first introduced into a herd of domestic or feral pigs, and second the effect of the disease in a population of feral pigs (could become endemic if transmission is high).
传染性胃肠炎(TGE)是一种导致猪脱水、腹泻和死亡的病毒性疾病。该疾病在世界养猪地区广泛存在,但在澳大利亚不存在。本文提出了一种TGE在猪群中传播的数学模型,并参考已发表的数据进行了校准。然后将该模型应用于两种特别感兴趣的情况:一是估计首次将感染引入家猪或野猪群时检测到TGE之前的延迟时间(6天至超过30天),二是该疾病在野猪种群中的影响(如果传播率高可能会成为地方病)。
