Fig. 1. Dendogram (showing genetic relati<strong>on</strong>ships am<strong>on</strong>g all MAP isolates) was generated by<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> PAUP program.<br />

On each farm, <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> numbers <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> isolates (n) bel<strong>on</strong>g to a particular type and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> isolates<br />

from super-shedders (nss) bel<strong>on</strong>g to a particular type (if any) are shown to <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> right <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Fig. 2. Pie-charts showing <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> percentage <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> each type from a total <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 81, 9, and 52 isolates<br />

(fecal and tissues) <strong>on</strong> farms A, B, and C, respectively.<br />

We also determined <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> shedding level (cfu/g) over time for individual animals at each<br />

culture-positive occasi<strong>on</strong>. For example, in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first visit <strong>on</strong> farm A, animal 693 was <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>ly<br />

animal with super-shedder status, with an observed shedding level <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 462,000 cfu/g, which was<br />

shedding strain type 4 in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> feces. The same type was found in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> fecal samples <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> five o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r<br />

animals <strong>on</strong> that visit. In <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> first visit <strong>on</strong> farm C, <strong>on</strong>e animal with super-shedder status (cow 152)<br />

was present in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> herd with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> observed shedding level <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> 1.26 milli<strong>on</strong>s MAP/g; type 2 was<br />

found in her fecal sample and <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same type was found in her fecal sample at slaughter as well<br />

as in 4 tissues collected. During that first visit, all 17 culture-positive animals <strong>on</strong> farm C were<br />

shedding <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> same strain (type 2).<br />
