Table 3. Individual and combined (sequential or in parallel) accuracies of Ag PS test and Ab PS test in detecting ASFV Ag and ASFV Ab in the blood samples of WBs from the areas endemic for ASFV in Sardinia.

Accuracy Ag PS test Ab PS test Parallel testing
Sensitivity 66.7 (9.4–99.1) - 66.7 (9.4–99.1)
Specificity 98.1 (94.5–99.6) 97.5 (93.7–99.3) 95.5 (91.0–98.2)
PPV 40.0 (5.2–85.3) - 22.2 (2.8–60)
NPV 99.3 (96.4–99.9) 100 (96.3–100) 99.3 (96.4–99.9)

The results are expressed as percentages (%) and 95% confidence interval.

Ag, antigen; PS, pen-side; Ab, antibody; ASFV, African swine fever virus; WB, wild boar; PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value.
