This table presents the characteristics of the overall study population, which consisted of 67 individuals. These individuals were further categorized based on their infection and serological status into three groups: Inf- and S-IgG- (n = 12) as individuals who tested negative for infection and were also negative for the presence of specific IgG antibodies against the pathogen; Inf+ and S-IgG- (n = 17) as individuals who tested positive for infection but were negative for specific IgG antibodies against the pathogen, and Inf+ and S-IgG+ (n = 38) as Individuals who tested positive for infection and were also positive for specific IgG antibodies against the pathogen.
