Description of the model parameters.

ParameterDescription

The rate at which infected cattle transmit Brucella infections
The rate at which cattle are recruited into the susceptible class
The rate at which cattle die naturally in each compartment
The rate at which susceptible cattle are vaccinated
The rate at which vaccinated cattle lose temporal immunity
The rate at which cattle die as a result of Brucella infections
The rate at which infected cattle are culled
The rate at which cattle recover from Brucella infections
The rate of waning of recovery-derived immunity
The rate at which susceptibles enter the biosecured compartment
