Table 3. Comparison of positive rates of antibodies against rSjPGM, rSjRAD23 and SEA detected in buffaloes sera by ELISA.
Sera samples | No. of cases | rSjPGM | rSjRAD23 | SEA | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
No. of positive | Positive rate (%) | No. of positive | Positive rate (%) | No. of positive | Positive rate (%) | ||
Uninfected buffaloes | 60 | 0 | 0.00 | 1 | 1.67 | 5 | 8.33 |
S. japonicum-infected buffaloes | 104 | 95 | 91.35 | 92 | 88.46 | 104 | 100.00 |
Paramphistomum-infected buffaloes | 14 | 1 | 7.14 | 2 | 14.29 | 7 | 50.00 |
F. gigantica-infected buffaloes | 9 | 1 | 11.11 | 0 | 0.00 | 4 | 44.44 |
Note: Sensitivity = no. of true positives/(no. of true positive + no. of false negatives), and specificity = no. of true negatives/(no. of false positive + no. of true negatives.
