Estimation of the reproduction numbers R ₀ for MDA ⁺ and MDA ⁻ piglets using the best model (model 2)

	Shedding period (days)	Direct transmission rate β (days ⁻¹ )	Susceptibility factor σ	R₀
MDA⁺ piglets	6.1 [5.9–6.4]^a	2.43 [1.09–4.23]^a	0.39 [0.21–0.70]	14.8 [6.4–27.1]
MDA⁻ piglets	6.1 [5.9–6.4]^a	2.43 [1.09–4.23]^a	–	5.8 [1.4–18.9]

^a Overall population estimate applying to both groups.
