Epidemiological modelling of bovine tuberculosis in badgers and cattle
This thesis covers the formulation and analysis of a number of deterministic, continuous models of infection by a disease such as bovine tuberculosis in one species (essentially badgers) and in two mutually infective species (badgers and cattle). We examine the dynamics of the disease in each model...
