Columns indicate the year (two-digit number) each EP was reported, and the farm(s) where it was located. Numbers in italics refer to farm identifiers, not number of isolations.

a: Mean farms/year: number of farms where the EP was isolated/times (years when EP was isolated). For example, EP 2 was found in one farm (farm 2) in the first year it was observed, not found in the following 2 years, and found again in the last year it was observed (4 years in total, with 1, 0, 0, and 1 findings, or a mean = 0.5)
