Table 2
Number of county fairs sampled and number of fairs with swine testing positive for IAV, by categorical level at which the 72-hour recommendation was implemented, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan, USA, 2018 and 2019*
Categorical level of implementation of 72-hour recommendation | Total no. fairs | No. IAV-positive fairs | Mean estimated IAV prevalence, %† | p value‡ |
---|---|---|---|---|
No implementation | 144 | 26 | 40.9 | Referent |
Some swine released | 38 | 10 | 33.2 | 0.3346 |
All swine released | 13 | 3 | 6.1 | 0.0176 |
*Number of county fairs sampled and number of fairs that tested IAV-positive in 2018 and 2019 are shown by the categorical level at which the 72-hour recommendation was implemented. IAV, influenza A virus. †Mean estimated IAV prevalence among the IAV-positive county fairs was estimated by using virus isolation data. ‡By Dunn’s test. Pairwise comparisons were completed by using “no implementation” as the reference category.
