This current study focused on investigating the concept of θ and ω for direct contact transmission of a virulent strain of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) amongst juvenile domestic pigs, and examining the impact of pre-clinical transmission on simulated outbreak size and severity within a US swine production system assuming either optimal or suboptimal response conditions. The most noteworthy findings from this approach were the substantial changes in the modeled estimates of the duration of latency and subclinical infectiousness (ω) when defining the onset of infectiousness by either the occurrence of clinical signs of FMD in donor pigs or by any detection of FMDV RNA in OPF. ./cache/cord-003490-swlkjtyo.txt ./txt/cord-003490-swlkjtyo.txt
