Samenvatting:

Six tests for detection of antibodies against the non-structural proteins of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) were compared at an international workshop in Brescia, Italy in 2004 on the basis of dichotomous test results. However, as results from all of these assays were also available on a continuous scale, validation was extended by calculating and subsequently analysing the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves and likelihood ratios (LR) for each test method. For the purposes of these analyses, test results for a total of 1337 sera were selected from the Brescia workshop datase…
