Changes in the prevalence of Salmonella serovars associated swine production and correlations of avian, bovine and swine-associated serovars with human-associated serovars in the United States (1997-2015)

Zoonoses and Public Health, 65(6), 648–661.

By: C. Yuan*, A. Krull*, C. Wang*, M. Erdman*, P. Fedorka-Cray*, C. Logue*, A. O'Connor*
