Table 2. Sensitivity, specificity and agreement (K) for two diagnostic methods (CMPCR and qPCR) for detecting Echinococcus multilocularis in fox fecal samples compared to the SFCT—reference standard.
Index | CMPCR versus SFCT (95% CI) | qPCR versus SFCT (95% CI) |
---|---|---|
Sensitivity (Se) | 0.21 (0.07–0.42) | 0.83 (0.63–0.95) |
Specificity (Sp) | 1 (0.96–1) | 0.97 (0.91–0.99) |
Agreement (K) | 0.30 (0.09–0.50) | 0.82 (0.68–0.95) |
