*CIEP, counter-immunoelectrophoresis; IAT, serum iodine agglutination test; NA, samples not available; ND, assays not done; +, positive.
†Farm: A, Heishan County; B, Qian’an County; C, Jilin County; D, Panjin County; E, Haicheng County; F, Nong’an County. Qian’an, Jilin, and Nong’an are located in Jilin province; Heishan, Panjin and Haicheng are located in Liaoning province.
‡For raccoon dogs, PCR+ for all the tested tissues (blood, spleen, kidney and mesenteric lymphonodus). For arctic foxes, PCR+ results only for 1 of the tested tissues (blood, kidney, or intestinal mucosae).
§Blood and spleen samples were tested separately by PCR from healthy animals except for the blood samples from the 3-month-old healthy raccoon dogs.
