Abstract

An integrated model for the personal computer is presented, in which a variety of preventive and control strategies with respect to foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in Dutch cattle and pig herds were examined economically. Special attention is given to the way in which losses due to export bans are determined. Export bans would occur as a result of an outbreak of FMD. Annual costs for the Netherlands would be reduced considerably if the yearly vaccinations were stopped. This conclusion holds even if more pessimistic values are used for some major uncertain input factors. The PC model is flexible with regard to input values, making it possible to fit different conditions.

    In the Netherlands, R0 of FMD in calves through contact and contaminated environment by excretions and secretions of FMD virus were estimated to be 2.5 (95%CI: 1.3, 5.0) and 1.9 (95%CI: 1.007, 3.8) respectively (Bravo de Rueda et al., 2015). Mathematical models for foot and mouth disease (FMD) transmission have been extensively used to inform policy-making in the disease control, both for contingency planning (Bates et al., 2003; Berentsen et al., 1992) before an epidemic, and for real time evaluation of the control strategies applied during an epidemic (Keeling et al., 2001; Morris et al., 2001). Most FMD models in the literature are based on an (hypothetical) incursion of the disease in disease free developed countries for the purpose of evaluation of the disease impact and are basically spatially explicit farm based transmission models (Bates et al., 2003; Durand and Mahul, 2000; Keeling et al., 2001; Martínez-López et al., 2010).

    These supply shocks distort the market and consequently result in price changes and hence economic impacts for non-disease affected producers as well, the so-called indirect consequential costs (ICC) and aftermath costs (AC) during and after the eradication of the disease respectively. Particularly in case of large outbreaks in DPPAs, the ICC and AC largely outweigh the DC and DCC (Berentsen et al., 1992; Mangen and Burell, 2003). Besides supply shocks, three other factors can have a market distorting effect.
