  1. V vaccinated, NV non-vaccinated, OP oropharyngeal swab, ND Newcastle disease, IB infectious bronchitis, IBD infectious bursal disease, aMPV avian metapneumovirus, IBV infectious bronchitis virus, NDV Newcastle disease virus, ILTV infectious laryngotracheitis virus, MRS Mild respiratory signs: slight opening of the beak and chest movements. “Control” versus “open” farms: environmentally controlled (versus not controlled) poultry farms. Sample numbers: each number corresponds to a pool of 10 swabs from a chicken flock. Data in this table include only those samples and flocks which were found positive for selected viruses
