a

Immunoconversion definitions: (1) Four-fold increase in antibody response between monthly samples; (2) same as in 1 and post-conversion responses above the 80 % prediction bound of spline regression on age; (3) same as in 1 and post-conversion responses above the 90 % prediction bound of spline regression on age.

b

Symptoms definitions: gastroenteritis (diarrhea or vomiting or abdominal cramps) for Cryptosporidium, combined diarrhea and vomiting symptoms for noroviruses.
