Determined using two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (B158/B60 Ag-ELISA [18] and HP10 Ag-ELISA [19]–[20]). Infection was defined as a positive result on either of these two ELISA tests.
Analyses were performed using the surveylogistic procedure of the SAS/STAT® software to simultaneously adjust for clusters of pigs within one owner and for clusters of owners within district of residence.
CI = Confidence interval.
