Microscopic agglutination test results in 40 paired sera samples by qPCR-based DNA detection

MAT results qPCR positive qPCR negative
n (%) n (%)
Paired samples negative 5 (50) 19 (63.3)
Sero-conversion 0 (0) 5 (16.7)
Fourfold rise 1 (10) 2 (6.7)
Single high titer (≥ 1/400) 2 (20) 2 (6.7)
Possible past infection (MAT titer < 1/400) 2 (20) 2 (6.7)

MAT = microscopic agglutination test; qPCR = quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
