  1. Legend: The serological sample status is given below the respective sample identifier. Results divergent from the defined sample status are printed in bold. * Five of the 16 participants that used this ELISA initially evaluated the sample “doubtful”, taking the cut-off for individual milk samples as basis (S/P < 0.20 negative; 0.20 ≤ S/P < 0.30 suspect; S/P ≥ 0.30 positive). When applying the cut-off for bulk milk (S/P < 0.20 negative; S/P ≥ 0.20 positive), the sample needs to be assessed as “positive”, which was corrected in this table.
