Abstract

In this paper we introduce a discrete model of brucellosis happened in Korean livestock farms and numerically analyze its dynamical features. To do it, we consider parameters data supported by Livestock Cooperatives. To control brucellosis, we investigate the relationship among key parameters, as applications of our model. We hope that our model may be used to reduce brucellosis in Korean livestock farms.
