*Ct value of <38.0 indicates a positive sample, 38–40 indicates suspect sample, and ND indicates negative sample. Pigs numbered 71–75 and 91–95 are contact pigs. Ct, cycle threshold; ID, identification; NA, not available (pig previously euthanized as part of study design); ND, not detected; qRT-PCR, quantitative reverse transcription PCR.
