Table 5.

Test parameters for the BCV multiplex and BCV ELISA: Sensitivity, specificity, and estimates of true prevalence (TP) in the two sub-populations. Cut-off alternative 1- 9 represents different cut-off alternatives for the BCV multiplex (presented in Table 2). The BCV ELISA cut-off was fixed at sample positive >10 PP for all alternatives.
