Table 1 Results of the western blot analysis (WB) as performed by laboratory 3 on the 180 serum samples. Serum samples originated from cattle populations where M. bovis is known to be prevalent (the high-prevalence area: Finland, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and from a cattle population which was considered highly unlikely to have been exposed to M. bovis (the low-prevalence area: northern Sweden)

From: A European inter-laboratory trial to evaluate the performance of three serological methods for diagnosis of Mycoplasma bovis infection in cattle using latent class analysis
