Schematic illustration of population density transformation. Similar epidemic impact (infected plus culled farms) can arise for the same ring-culling radius in populations with quite different density distributions. (A) The population is highly clustered and average infection distances are short. The outbreak manages to transition from the seed cluster to a second, but not to the third cluster. (B) The population could have been drawn from a uniform distribution. To obtain a similar epidemic impact as that in A, infection events in B occur over medium distances but without long jumps. The spatial extent of the epidemic is much greater in A than in B.
