| % Sensitivity | % Specificity | |
| Human serum | 98.3 (57/58) | 96.6 (56/58) |
| NHPa serum | 100 (10/10) | 100 (34/34) |
| Pig serum | 100 (2/2) | 100 (6/6) |
| Rabbit serum | 100 (10/10) | 100 (30/30) |
| All animal serab | 100 (22/22) | 100 (70/70) |
| All human and animal serac | 98.8 (79/80) | 98.4 (126/128) |
a
NHP, nonhuman primate.
b
Pooled results from NHP, pig, and rabbit sera.
c
Pooled results from human, NHP, pig, and rabbit sera.
d
The values in parentheses indicate the number of sera giving positive results/the total number of sera tested.
