    Författare :Stefan Widgren; [2004]
    Nyckelord :graph theory; modelling; swine fever;

    Sammanfattning : One objective of this study has been to demonstrate how graph theory can be a useful tool for intervention in the case of an outbreak of a contagious disease. By using graph theory algorithms on data from the Swedish surveillance network system (Grisregistret) and combining this with the power of graph layout engines for visualization of interherd movements, valuable information can rapidly be provided from data that is easily available.
