Serological diagnosis	Diagnosis that involves the use of assays that specifically analyse blood fluids (serum and plasma) as the primary sample type.
Target species	The soil-transmitted helminth species (Ascaris, Trichuris or hookworms) for which the assay is primarily designed.
Test technology principle	The laboratory methodology upon which the specific diagnostic assay is built (e.g., ELISA).
Target analyte	The biomolecule that the given diagnostic assay is designed to identify, measure or quantify within a sample (for example parasite-specific antibodies).
Analyte detection agent	The component of the assay used to identify, capture or quantify the presence/absence of a particular target analyte within a sample. It interacts specifically with the target analyte (for example parasite antigen).
Test species	The particular species from which blood serum or plasma samples were subjected to analysis.
