That question cannot be definitively answered on the basis of the available evidence.
However, while it is tempting to assume that the owner was the source of infection because of the owner's previous history of a soft tissue infection, this cannot be definitively determined on the basis of the timing of sampling in this case.

In 2011, the species was definitively recorded there on the basis of two bats caught in the far southwest of the country in 2009.
In addition, all 31 bovine (and ovine/caprine) syntenic groups have been definitively assigned to specific chromosomes on the basis of official marker assignments performed with both G/Q and R-banded chromosomes of cattle (Hayes et al. 2000), as well as in those of both sheep and goat chromosomes (Di Meo et al. 2003).
None of these considerations are as yet sufficiently well supported by experimental evidence to argue definitively for the inclusion of open-ended questions on the basis of their effect on learning, though the possibility clearly remains.
Kinsey had already questioned this on the basis of his data, but Masters and Johnson definitively proved that the physiological response in the two was identical.
On the basis of the present evidence it therefore cannot be concluded definitively that biologics are more clinically effective than synthetic DMARDs, although a radiological difference in favour of biologics is plausible.
On the basis of these elements Zhu et al. express a certain skepticism in definitively ruling out the association between psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and NOD2/CARD15.
