Table 4. Sensitivity and specificity of pap31 LAMP assay in detecting B. bacilliformis from experimentally infected sand flies compared to qPCR.

D1 D3 D5 D7 D9
Sensitivity* 100% (13/13) 100% (7/7) NA NA NA
Specificity** NA 75% (3/4) 66.6% (4/6) 100% (7/7) 100% (8/8)

* Sensitivity was calculated as (number of true positive)/(number of true positives + number of false negatives)

**Specificity was calculated as (number of true negatives)/(number of true negatives+ number of false positives).
