This code was written to describe the epidemiology of Cassava Mosaic Virus (CMV). An epidemiological model was developed to model the spread and control of a CMV strain under two scenarios: (i) where it invades a region in which another CMV strain is endemic and must compete with it; and (ii) a region previously unaffected by CMV.
This work is published in Ryan T. Sharp, Michael W. Shaw & Frank van den Bosch, 2020. The effect of competition on the control of invading plant pathogens. Journal of Applied Ecology.
Two programs are provided here: (i) "Analytical Model.mw" which was executed using Maple 17, produces the analytical results. A text file version is also provided for users without access to Maple. (ii) The other files are code produced using MATLAB (2018b). This performs a numerical simulation of the model. These files are readable by standard text editors.
We also provide a copy of the data produced from these models that were used in this publication.
