Abstract

The objective of the present study was to develop a basic genetic epidemiological model for Marek's Disease (MD) infection in poultry, identify space parameters that describe the disease dynamics correctly and investigate the impact of possible genetic and vaccination control strategies on overall disease dynamics. The proposed genetic-epidemiological model captured the epidemiology and underlying immunogenetic mechanisms of MD under vaccinated and unvaccinated cases. With appropriate alterations of parameters, the present model of MD could be used for evaluation of different genetic and non-genetic strategies to control MD in poultry populations.
