a

Equivocal samples were considered false negative for sensitivity and false positive for specificity.

b

InBios IgM positive, ISR of >2.84; InBios IgM equivocal, ISR of 1.65 to 2.84; InBios IgM negative, ISR of <1.65.

c

MAC-ELISA positive, P/N of ≥3; MAC-ELISA presumptive positive, P/N of ≥2 and <3; MAC-ELISA negative, P/N of <2.
