Table 1. Diagnostic specificity in non-vaccinated, non-infected cows and vaccinated, non-infected cows.
Animals | No. of samples | Kits | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
LPBE (%) | PrioCHECK (%) | NCPanaftosa (%) | |||
Non-vaccinated, non-infected cows | 203 | 99.5 | 99.0 | 100 | |
Vaccinated, non-infected cows | |||||
Cows administered vaccine once | 116 | NC a) | 100 | 100 | |
Cows administered vaccine four times | 28 | NC | 100 | 100 | |
Cows administered vaccine once in the field | 40 | NC | 95.0 | 97.5 | |
Total | 184 | NC | 98.9 | 99.5 |
a) Not calculated because the diagnostic specificity is a percentage of samples which are correctly confirmed as antibody-negative among samples which may not have antibodies induced by virus infection as well as antibodies induced by vaccination while the LPBE kit can detect antibodies induced by virus infection as well as antibodies induced by vaccination.
