a

Serological test results for serum samples obtained from animals coming from pig farms with at least one animal with positive isolation of B. suis.

b

BPAT, NEG, negative; POS, positive.

c

FPA cutoff value, >85 mP.

d

ND, not done. Brucella isolation from animals 6 to 31 was not attempted because no tissue and/or organs samples were available. None of these animals showed signs of illness up to the time of sampling.
