  1. Mean and 95% CI of the sensitivity and specificity obtained from the validation experiments only (VEO) and from the combined validation experiments and serosurvey results reported in Table 2. The sample sizes are given in the footnote. PPV positive predictive value; NPV negative predictive value. The 95% CrI around the PPV and NPV have been estimated by bootstrapping.
