Figure 1

Predicted response to selection for resistance to footrot depending on the model and the trait under selection. The notional reproductive rate R', or the recovery rate γ or κ is the trait under selection; initial values are R' = 2.91, γ = κ = 0.2, λ = 0.0333, ν = 0.1667, p* = 0.08 and h2 = 0.3; the response is standardised to the same genetic response after one generation of selection, the SELIRS model with selection on γ shows an additional epidemiological effect.
