General legends and abbreviations in tables:
— Information not applicable.
. . . Information not available (the reader can of course add information on the use of vaccine from other sources).
NPE: No past evidence, meaning that herds were not selected based on past evidence of infection (unknown BVD status). AI: Artificial insemination centers.
V: Vaccinated; NV: Not vaccinated. aBHV: Bovine herpes virus.
bSample size varied considerably between farms.
cHerds without use of vaccination and without PI animals. dHerds with use of killed vaccine; no PI animals present. eHerds with use of killed vaccine and presence of PI animals.
fV: Prevalence among vaccinated; NV: Prevalence among nonvaccinated (herds were classified according to reported use of any BVDV vaccine during the previous 12 months). gNote that there were only two sampled animals per farm.

a Note that the antibody detection methods vary between countries as do the cutoffs when a herd is considered to have antibody carriers or PI animals. Prevalences are therefore just indicative of the level and not directly comparable between countries.
