Proof of concept of a method that assesses the spread of microbial infections with spatially explicit and non-spatially explicit data

Table 3 Cumulative and annual EP spread by the year 2000

EP ID*	Cumulative EP spatial spread (EPdist, km)	Annual EP spread velocity (EPspeed, km/year)
15	758.18	108.31
10	574.52	63.83
29	456.58	38.05
13	72.92	36.46
38	221.54	18.46
17	104.87	14.98
31	112.69	9.39
Median	221.54	36.46

*: Identifier of EPs isolated, at least, in ≥ 2 farms in ≥ 3 different years between 1988 and 2000. Both EPdist and EPspeed indicated that EP15 displayed values at least 3 times greater than the median.
