      abstract = {A dynamic model of livestock disease and decentralised  economic behaviour is
constructed as a jointly determined  system. By accounting for feedbacks between
behavioural  choices and disease outcomes, the model captures the  endogenous nature
of infection risks. Government mandated  testing of livestock herds and how private
biosecurity  incentives are affected by the structure of disease  eradication polices are
considered. How well disease  control policies are targeted affects their  effectiveness
and may result in farmers substituting  government testing and disease surveillance for
private  biosecurity. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that  failing to account
for feedbacks between the disease  ecology and economic systems may overestimate  the
effectiveness of government disease control policies.},
