A 145.8 KB PDF dataset authored by MaRyka Renae Smith, published on figshare in May 2026. It contains results from InterSpread Plus simulations evaluating Foot-and-Mouth Disease outbreak metrics under different cattle tracing scenarios in the United States.
Use Cases
- Compare outbreak size and duration based on different detection days and tracing levels.
- Evaluate the impact of electronic identification on reducing infected premises and farms under surveillance.
- Analyze trade-offs between control area size and outbreak metrics under ideal tracing scenarios.
- Model the potential reduction in human labor demands for tracing and surveillance during an outbreak.
Strengths
- Simulations cover six distinct starting locations (California, Nebraska, Texas, New Mexico, New York, Tennessee) and four farm types.
- Scenarios are defined by three detection days (8, 14, 21) and three tracing levels (current, partial EID, ideal EID).
- Outcome metrics include infected premises, outbreak duration, and number of farms under surveillance or in control areas.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The dataset is a PDF file (145.8 KB), which may require extraction to access structured data.
