Transmission Dynamics of Bovine Anaplasmosis in a Cattle Herd

Figure 1

Flow diagram of the juvenile and adult cattle bovine anaplasmosis model (12). The cattle population is divided into susceptible (), asymptomatic infectious (), symptomatic infectious (), and carrier () compartments, where for juvenile and adult subpopulations, respectively. The tick population consists of susceptible () and infectious () classes, where for nymph and larvae classes, respectively. Colors blue, purple, and orange represent susceptible, infectious, and infectious asymptomatic and carrier cattle, respectively. For ticks, tan and grey represent susceptible and infected ticks. The brighter shade represents juveniles (cattle or ticks); darker shade represents adults (cattle or ticks). The mechanical device is represented by green.
