N/A is applied to ‘Unknown’ genotypes found in meat in DANMAP. It was not possible to determine which was the genotype detected.

2

N/A is applied to ‘Others’, since it may include genotypes that were present or not in human samples.

3

CMY-2 was detected in humans but its prevalence was not possible to calculate. However, it is known that few positive CMY-2 samples were detected. The total number of samples for each type of meat performed from 2009 to 2011 for DANMAP is represented by n, while s is the number of positive samples for each genotype in each type of meat. For a better understanding and comparison with the uncertainty analysis the genotype prevalence within each type of meat is shown.
