Abstract

In this study, it has been carried out that estimation of mathematical models of SFTSV (severe febrile thrombocytopenia syndrome virus) transmission between sheep in Shandong, China. Data used in the system identification is obtained by observing the cohort group of sheep in Shandong Province, China by Chinese scientists. Observation of the cohort was carried out approximately every week, and it was measured that the number of SFTSV antibody positive animals. As a mathematical model, endemic SIR model was selected. System identification is performed using the solver function of the spreadsheet. The software and solver were Microsoft Excel2010 and GRG (Generalized Reduced Gradient) nonlinear method. After complemented of observed values with polynomial curve, logistic curve and the Gompertz curves, the system identification was conducted and initial values of parameters and initial value of variable were estimated. As the result of system identification, the value of basic reproduction indicating virus transmission was estimated as the value of 34-45. This system identification is included many estimation. However the result suggested that this disease has strong infectious force.
