Comparison of the sensitivity and specificity of LAMP-SNP and virus isolation for detection of MEV in 171 samples.

LAMP-SNP (MEV-NS1-LAMP)	Virus isolation
	Positive	Negative	Total
Positive	88	5	93
Negative	0	78	78
Total	88	83	171

Percentage of agreement: (88 + 78)/171 = 97.1%; relative sensitivity: 88/88 = 100%;

relative specificity: 78/83 = 94.0%.
