Balancing detection and eradication for control of epidemics: sudden oak death in mixed-species stands. by Martial L Ndeffo Mbah, Christopher A Gilligan

“…Contrary to simple expectations our results show that an intermediate level of detection is optimal. Low levels of detection, characteristic of low effort expended on searching and detection of diseased trees, and high detection levels, exemplified by the deployment of large amounts of resources to identify diseased trees, fail to bring the epidemic under control. …”
