Results are presented as percentages of positive anti-PDI sera (number of all sera in this subgroup).

$

ASLO positivity defined as ASLO ≥200 for participants ages 6–40 years and ASLO ≥100 for participants older than 40 years, as recommended [40].

Anti-bovine PDI defined as positive if ELISA OD ≥0.5.

#

Anti-human PDI defined as positive if ELISA OD ≥0.75.
