The total number of animal sampled is indicated with N; while, the total number of samples and type of samples is specified under each test performed; finally, N(+) indicates the number of positive blood samples that were found after the screening tests (buffered plate agglutination test, BPAT; standard tube agglutination test, STAT) and the confirmatory tests (complement fixation test, CFT; indirect enzyme-linked immunoassay, iELISA; competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay, cELISA) and/or new test (protein A/G indirect enzyme-linked immunoassay, A/G iELISA) performed. Tested filter paper samples (FP) that had paired serum samples (S) are indicated in parenthesis.

^aSera tested also by BPAT at the time of sample collection.

^b28 paired samples tested by A/G iELISA (FP eluates) and by BPAT (sera) at the time of sample collection, and 20 paired samples tested by A/G iELISA (both FP eluates and sera).

^c59 sera tested also by BPAT at the time of sample collection
