Use of Mathematical Modeling and Simulation in Animal Disease Reporting

Mathematical modeling and simulation play a significant role in reporting animal disease, draw designs and establishing disease control plans. Generally, mathematical models and simulation give macroscopic predictabilities of disease spread by making some realistic expectations like homogeneous and well-mixed population and also helpful to simplify the multifaceted disease spreading process. Though, these expectations and simplifications also restrict the capability of mathematical models to characterize the spread of animal disease thoroughly. Current study will discuss complete review of mathematical models to provide an understanding about use of mathematical modeling and simulation in animal disease reporting including general description about mathematical models, their types, history, benefits, reasons and importance of these models. Previously mathematical modeling and simulation has been used to overcome the outbreaks of certain animal diseases like foot and mouth disease (FMD). But there is need to conduct further research for efficient use of mathematical modeling in animal disease reporting in order to overcome disease outbreaks in future as well as to enhance the national economy of developing countries.
