TL;DR
The science of controlling disease outbreaks is studied in more detail than ever before in the history of infectious disease outbreaks.

NatureCollective dynamics of ‘small-world’ networks
43,160 Citations1998Duncan J. Watts, Steven H. Strogatz
Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.

This book discusses the biology of host-microparasite associations, dynamics of acquired immunity heterogeneity within the human community indirectly transmitted helminths, and the ecology and genetics of hosts' parasites, genetic variability, and drug resistance.

Both Al(OH)3/saponin and oil-based cattle vaccines proved to be extremely effective and protected soon after vaccination, whereas the pigs were seldom protected before 21 and 28 days postvaccination, probably due to lower levels of antibody and overwhelming challenge conditions.
Mathematical Medicine and Biology A Journal of the IMAAn analysis of foot-and-mouth-disease epidemics in the UK
58 Citations1997Daniel T. Haydon
There was a major epidemic of the foot-and-mouth-disease virus among cattle herds in the UK in 1967-68 which showed a very rapid early spread, a much slower later spread, and eventually infected 12% of herds inThe core epidemic area.
Research in Veterinary ScienceThe importance of immediate destruction in epidemics of foot and mouth disease
53 Citations2000S.C. Howard, Christl A. Donnelly
Epidemic simulations showed that implementing this policy could have resulted in a dramatic reduction in the number of pig farms affected in the Taiwan epidemic, and it is thus imperative that the necessary resources are available to implement this policy, should an outbreak occur.

The use of vaccines for animal health and welfare, including new developments in the veterinary field such as marker vaccines and vectored vaccines, the special case of equine influenza-inactivated vaccines and the use of veterinary vaccines in public health are dealt with.

Examples of rabies in foxes and foot-and-mouth disease in cattle suggest that theory can be used to guide the design of vaccination programmes.
Trends in MicrobiologyA centuries-long epidemic of scrapie in British sheep?
38 Citations2001Mark Woolhouse, Pietro G. Coen +6 more
It is proposed that scrapie should be regarded as epidemic in British sheep but, unlike more familiar epidemics, which have time-scales of months or years, the scrapie epidemic has a time-scale of centuries, which implies that scrapies should eventually disappear from the sheep population.

The authors review recent advances in tests for the diagnosis of FMD, in addition to advances in surveillance, vaccinology and information technology, i.e. computing and networking, and identify the requirements for further research into the disease.
