For each pair of assays compared, concordance was defined as (Number positive by both assays + Number negative by both assays)/ Number tested (= 1455).
EIA BioM = Chagatek; EIA BiosCh = Chagas BiosChile; EIA BioZ = BioZima Chagas; EIA Wrec = Chagatest rec. 3.0; PA = Chagas Serodia; TIA = trans-sialidase inhibition assay; IHA = Chagas HAI; IHA LC = HAI LC.
