Characteristics of IgG-seropositive individuals under vaccination age

Participant Gender Location IgG value IgM value Occupation Forest visits
1 Female Metet 0.83 0.12 Farmer > Once per week
2 Male Ndzefidi 0.49 −0.04 Farmer and student > Once per week

Positive IgG and IgM values (in bold) indicate a past or recent exposure to an orthopoxvirus, respectively. One participant (#1) tested positive for both anti-orthopoxvirus IgG and IgM antibodies. Note that participant #4 had a very low positive IgG value, which is considered to be an equivocal result.
