Abstract

The proposed study addresses the important issue of multi-strain variation in veterinary pathogens in a manner that will permit synergistic development of biology and mathematical biology. The development of effective, realistic mathematical models for the transmission of multi-strain pathogens will be achieved by the process of preliminary model specification, model reduction (using novel applications of differential algebra theory), reduced model identification and revision of model (via interaction with collaborators in the field). This interactive process between innovative fields will result in a deeper understanding of multi- strain systems and therefore allow more realistic predictions of the effects of perturbations and their controllability, for example via multivalent vaccination.
