Table 4 Estimated odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for effects in the generalised linear mixed model for presence or absence of nasal shedding in Shedder pigs during the study

From: The WUR0000125 PRRS resilience SNP had no apparent effect on pigs’ infectivity and susceptibility in a novel transmission trial
