| Description: | A mathematical model describing livestock infection with and vaccination against Rift Valley Fever virus across the four islands in the Comoros archipelago was developed. In order to determine how best to distribute a set number of vaccines across the archipelago, a Sequential Monte Carlo optimisation algorithm was used, where the objective function was the number of infections averted between July 2015 and June 2050. The table shows all mathematical notation used to describe the model. (PDF) |
