Abstract
We demonstrate how to optimise control via removal of hosts surrounding detected infection (i.e.
Discussion
Our key result is to verify that it is indeed possible to optimise control via targeted host removal by matching the “intrinsic scale of the epidemic” [35], selecting a cull radius that mini-mises the epidemic impact, KE (i.e.
Discussion
We investigated how the nature of the optimum control strategy is conditioned on a selection of parameters controlling the host-pathogen interaction and the logistics of control.
Infection rate Nd ) O 8 O
Optimal control when there is uncertainty.
Introduction
The quantitative detail of how these factors affect the nature of the optimal control strategy and how effectively it performs is extremely complex, and general principles remain ill-understood.
Introduction
We consider a range of strategies for management of a newly invading plant pathogen, and identify optimal control scenarios that minimise the “epidemic impact”; we define this to be the total of both the number of hosts lost to disease and healthy hosts removed by control.
Introduction
In particular, we show how the optimal control strategy changes when we take account of different levels of risk aversion [20].

long cryptic periods, lengthy delays between detection and tree removal), without optimal controls degenerating to immediate removal of the entire population at the time of the first control for our rather small population of interest.
