Numerical Study of Bird Flu Infection Process Within a Poultry Farm with Age Structured Model

Abstract

Bird flu infection processes within a poultry farm were studied analytically and numerically. A mathematical model proposed in a previous study was reformulated with consideration of age structure. The age structure model for a susceptible population and an infected population is described. Numerical results show that essential factors of security against bird flu are vaccination and removal of infected bird.
