Table 4. Yearly incidence rates for infection and exposure (as based on the results of Ag-ELISA and EITB, respectively) of individuals who participated in two sampling rounds by period.
Test | Period between samplings | Number of individuals | Yearly incidence rate ([95% Poisson CI]a) per 100,000 person-years |
Antigen | P1b (6 months) | 0/421 | 0[0–1790.7] |
P2c (7 months) | 1/317 | 541.6[13.7–3018] | |
P3d(13 months) | 2/373 | 496.3 [60.1–1792.7] | |
Antibody | P1b (6 months) | 26/288 | 18,909.1[12,352–27,706.2] |
P2c (7 months) | 17/226 | 13,399[7,805.4–21,453.1] | |
P3d (13 months) | 24/264 | 8,791.2[5,632.7–13,080.6] |
CI = Poisson exact 95% Confidence Intervals;
P1 = June–November period;
P2 = November–July period;
P3 = June–July period.
