Table 2 Estimation of the number (and proportion) of calves infected by vertical transmission in the study area
From: Quantifying bluetongue vertical transmission in French cattle from surveillance data
Study area | N° predicted RT-PCR + dams [CI 95%] | N° predicted vertically infected calves [CI 95%] | % of RT-PCR + attributable to vertical infection [CI 95%] | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
In all cattle | In cattle exposed to vertical transmission | |||
NE | 139 [113–167] | 77 [62–92] | 24.5% [19.7–29.3] | 70.6% [56.9–84.4] |
SW | 157 [128–189] | 87 [71–104] | 30.5% [24.9–36.5] | 60.4% [49.3–72.2] |
Total | 296 [256–339] | 163 [141–187] | 27.2% [23.5–31.2] | 64.4% [55.7–73.9] |
