Table 1. Comparison of qPCR to serology using DNA extracted from GEB.

SEROLOGY Total
Positive Negative
GEB Positive 47 0 47
Negative 103 115 218
Sensitivity (95% CI) 31.3% (24.0–39.4%)
Specificity (95% CI) 100% (96.8–100%)
Total 150 115 265

Sensitivity and specificity of the qPCR using GEB samples was calculated considering the serology (positive to all ELISA, HAI and Western blot positive) as the gold standard.
