Table 1. Prior beta distribution shape parameters (α, β) for sensitivity and specificity of the RBT and cELISA for cattle, sheep and goats.

Test parameter		Beta distribution (α, β)
		Cattle	Sheep & Goats
RBT	Se	(6.42, 2.02)	(5.40, 1.49)
	Sp	(4.62, 1.13)	(5.13, 1.36)
cELISA	Se	(4.52, 1.09)	(4.43, 1.05)
	Sp	(4.40, 1.03)	(4.34, 1.01)

RBT is the Rose Bengal plate test. For sheep and goat models, RBT refers to the modified RBT 3:1 serum to antigen ratio. cELISA refers to the Animal and Plant Health Agency, UK, competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Se is sensitivity and Sp is specificity.
