Design of field trials for the evaluation of transmissible vaccines in animal populations. by Justin K Sheen, Lee Kennedy-Shaffer, Michael Z Levy, Charlotte Jessica E Metcalf

“…We also identify how required sample sizes change based on the characteristics of host ecology such as the overdispersion of the contact structure of the population, as well as the efficacy of the vaccine and timing of vaccination. Our results indicate the range of scenarios where two-stage randomized field trial designs are feasible and appropriate to capture the protective effects of transmissible vaccines. …”
