Effectiveness and equity of vaccination strategies against Rift Valley fever in a heterogeneous landscape. by Warren S D Tennant, Eric Cardinale, Youssouf Moutroifi, Simon E F Spencer, Onzade Charafouddine, Michael J Tildesley, Raphaëlle Métras

“…We developed a metapopulation model for Rift Valley fever transmission in livestock across the Comoros archipelago which incorporates livestock vaccination in addition to heterogeneity in viral transmission rates and animal movements. We used the model to evaluate three vaccine allocation strategies-proportional allocation, optimal allocation for maximising total infections averted across the archipelago, and optimal allocation for more equitable outcomes across islands-under different vaccination coverage levels and animal identification scenarios. …”
