The idea behind control strategies such as the MRP and vaccination [7] is that removing infected nodes or immunizing susceptible ones are efficient mechanisms to fight the spread of a disease. If an infectious disease is detected at t = 1, a farmer sufficiently close to the infected zone will face the risk that the restricted zone (RZ) will expand to include his location by the next period (with probability q). In the case of non-vector-borne diseases, i.e. when the transmission channel is restricted to the trade network, the MRP is an effective control strategy. The MRP becomes significantly less efficient when infected nodes that have not been detected spread the disease through both trade and geographic networks. ./cache/cord-002094-7tewne3a.txt ./txt/cord-002094-7tewne3a.txt
