Capacity of a Bayesian model to detect infected herds using disease dynamics and risk factor information from surveillance programmes: A simulation study

M. Mercat et al.

Summary: Control programmes against non-regulated infectious diseases of farm animals are widely implemented. Different control programmes have different definitions of freedom from infection which can lead to difficulties when trading animals between countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the capacity of a Bayesian Hidden Markov Model to detect infected herds compared to using test results only. The results showed that the model detected more infected herds than a single final test in most scenarios, especially in a context of low herd test sensitivity. The model was beneficial for control programmes with infection present at an endemic level in a population and reliance on low sensitivity tests.

Summary: A survey conducted in 2020 in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region found no evidence of leptospirosis in farmed swine. Statistical analysis indicated that the prevalence of leptospirosis in farmed swine in the region is negligible at present.
