Sensitivity, specificity & ROC* for saliva derived seroprevalence to P. falciparum merozoite surface antigens

	Sensitivity (95% CI)	Specificity (95% CI)	ROC (95% CI)
AMA-1
Tanzania Oracol	76.7 (54.9-90.6)	100 (87.7-100)	0.88 (0.8-0.96)
Tanzania Orasure	64 (42.5-82)	92.9 (76.5-99.1)	0.78 (0.68-0.89)
The Gambia	68 (56-78.8)	91.2(85-95.6)	0.80(0.74-0.86)
MSP-119
Oracol	46.7 (21.3-73.4)	97.4 (86.2-99.9)	0.72 (0.58-0.85)
Orasure	66.7 (38.4-88.2)	90.0(75.2-97.1)	0.78 (0.64-0.91)
The Gambia	53 (40.1-66.5)	94.2(89-87.5)	0.74(0.67-0.81)

* ROC = receiver operating characteristic curve; the average of sensitivity and specificity

Fingerprick derived plasma antibody prevalence was the gold standard for sensitivity and specificity analysis.
