Bayesian estimation of the prevalence and test characteristics (sensitivity and specificity) of two serological tests (RB and SAT-EDTA) for the diagnosis of bovine brucellosis in small and medium cattle holders in Ecuador Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
In Ecuador, a national program for bovine brucellosis control has been in implementation since 2008. Given the costs, small- and medium-sized livestock holders are not completely committed to it. The objective of this study was to determine true prevalence (TP) of bovine brucellosis in small- and medium-sized herd populations, as well as the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the Rose Bengal (RB) test and the sero-agglutination test ...
