The dissertation is the first to analyze in detail the complex network of cattle movements in Slovenia. The approach used to model the spread of MAP between herds with diluted networks can also be used to model other pathways of disease transmission between herds as well as for other diseases. The results show that the analysis of the cattle movement network could help to optimize the surveillance and control of infectious diseases in Slovenia. The candidate also developed the first stochastic compartmental model specifically for a small dairy herd. The presented model can also be used to test the effectiveness of different control measures. The results may also be useful for other countries with a similar structure of dairy farms. In addition, the candidate developed a stochastic risk assessment model with Monte Carlo simulations for human exposure to MAP in Slovenia. The presented results could provide support for informed decision making for MAP intervention measures in Slovenia.

COBISS.SI-ID: 30486275The article published in a journal called Lisasto govedo, was intended for livestock farmers. The aim was to inform farmers with basic information about the clinical manifestation of paratuberculosis to facilitate early detection and control of the disease. It also describes the impact of paratuberculosis on animal health, as well as the economic losses and prevention measures of this insidious disease.
