  1. Legend: This table shows the transmission per day from the basic model (TP 1 ) and R 0 -value1) with its 95% confidence interval for Dutch (NL) and Danish (DK) herds separately and all herds (NL + DK) for pre-weaning pigs only and for all pigs.
  2. 1) To calculate R 0 , TP 1 was multiplied with 17.4 days (= length of infectious period).
  3. 2) Number of MRSA cases (C) from total number of susceptibles (S) used in analysis.
