    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary epidemiology
    • Biostatistics
    • Computational biology

    Background:

    • Analyzing disease prevalence in animal survival studies is complex.
    • Serial sacrifice introduces additional data complexities.
    • Existing methods may not fully capture disease dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel computer program for disease prevalence analysis in animal survival experiments.
    • To provide a tool for estimating disease effects considering treatment, time, and co-occurring diseases.
    • To enhance the accuracy of survival analysis in veterinary research.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an interactive computer program.
    • Application of a generalized Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm.

  • Estimation of maximum likelihood for disease prevalence and lethality.

    • Main Results:

    • The program effectively analyzes disease prevalence data from survival experiments.
    • Maximum likelihood estimates are computed for disease effects.
    • The method accounts for treatment, time, and the influence of other diseases.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed program offers a robust approach to analyzing complex disease dynamics in animal survival studies.
    • This tool facilitates a deeper understanding of disease progression and lethality.
    • The generalized EM algorithm provides accurate estimations for epidemiological research.
