Data are presented as mean (95% CI) for continuous variables and as % percentages (frequencies) of positive results in categorical. STA tests were positive at 1/80 dilutions. Some of the livestock farmers with positive RB test had positive STA tests (most for melitensis and the rest for abortus). ELISA IgG tests were considered positive at values >40 U/ml and IgM at >50 U/ml. 1These results were considered random error due to lack of any symptoms of disease on the day of blood sampling and on a follow-up 2 weeks later. |
