Figure 3

Structure of the model showing disease dynamics. The dotted line indicates the separation between adjacent cells of the model which represent the boundary between two adjacent badger territories to demonstrate movement of individuals of different infectious states between groups. The additional compartments of birth, natural death and mortality from bTB are also included below the line to show how individuals enter and leave the population, and these processes are common to all cells in the model. The short hashed lines represent disease transmission events, thick continuous lines represent state transitions colonisation or dispersal events and thin continuous lines represent demographic processes.
