Mathematical model.
In 1985, Kallen, Arcuri and Murray (377-393) presented a simple mathematical model for the spread of the rabies epidemics to approximate the minimum width of a break and enable the control of the spatial progression of rabies.
Features and assumptions of the model.
The model developed by Kallen, Arcuri and Murray (377-393) was based on a deterministic approach where the fox populations were categorized into two groups, namely infective and susceptible foxes. In this classification, the infective foxes included those with rabies virus present in their saliva while the susceptible ones included those without traces of rabies virus in their saliva. One of the assumptions ...
