| | The rate at which cattle are recruited into the susceptible class | 200/year | [18] | | The rate at which infected cattle transmit Brucella infections | 0.0001/year | [18] | | The rate at which cattle die naturally in each compartment | 0.001/year | [18] | | The rate at which susceptibles enter the biosecured compartment | 0.011/year | Assumed | | The rate at which susceptible cattle are vaccinated | 0.1/year | [18] | | The rate at which cattle die as a result of Brucella infections | 0.19/year | Assumed | | The rate at which recovered cattle lose natural immunity | 0.02/year | [18] | | The rate at which vaccinated cattle lose temporal immunity | 0.002/year | Assumed | | The rate at which infected cattle are culled | 0.14/year | Assumed | | The rate at which cattle recover from Brucella infections | 0.01/year | [18] |
