Associations between measures of network centrality and Johne's disease among dairy herds in Ontario, Canada by J. Reilly Comper, Karen J. Hand, Zvonimir Poljak, David Kelton, Amy L. Greer

“…The objectives of this study were (1) to use data provided by Lactanet Canada to create a network of between-herd dairy cow movements during the OJEMAP study period (2010–2013) and of equal timescale post-OJEMAP (2014–2017) to assess changes in movement behavior in response to program recommendations; (2) to determine whether measures of network centrality from the 2014–2017 network are associated with a positive ELISA test sampled from 2017 BTM; and (3) to use a permutation-based approach (network k-test) to determine whether the structure of the cattle movement network is “epidemiologically relevant” to the distribution of high-risk JD herds in Ontario (i.e., whether the distribution of high-risk JD herds was due to the structure of the between-herd dairy cow movement network itself). …”
