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.

Had missing values for n = 7.

5

Had missing values n = 2. Other includes other pure bred breeds.
