Abstract

To evaluate the usefulness of serological tests applied to monitor Trichinella free herds, Bayesian methodology was used to estimate the diagnostic test parameters: sensitivity, specificity and prevalence in the absence of a Gold Standard test. In the absence of Dutch serum samples for positive pigs, it is discussed how the diagnostic test parameters derived from panels of sera originating from regions with endemic Trichinellosis in Argentina can be used to estimate the test parameters.
