[−]: The confidence interval is not provided because of the small sample size.
(a)
: One‐sided, 97.5% confidence interval.
(b)
: p‐value: NS, not significant.
(c)
: Considering merged CA and FBOp data, Hungary notified three flocks positive for target serovars (Table 22), but in the context of separate reporting, data from the FBOp were not provided.
