Number of samples analyzed (Phase I without VTM) | 25 |
---|---|
Found positive using Protein ELISA | 1 (4% positive) |
Found positive using Lanthanide Array | 5 (20% positive) |
Found positive using RT‐LAMP | Not detected |
Found positive using RT‐PCR | Not detected |
Number of samples analyzed (Phase II with VTM) | 8 |
Found positive using Protein ELISA | 5 (62.5% positive) |

Note: Condensate samples collected during Phase I: June 29–July 5, July 22–August 10, and Phase II: September 3–10. Phase II samples included viral transport medium (VTM) in tank to stabilize any collected virus. RT‐LAMP and RT‐PCR analyses were performed on RNA isolated from samples; ELISA and Lanthanide array were performed directly on the samples.
Abbreviations: ELISA, enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay; RT‐PCR, reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction; VTM, viral transport medium.
