Global seroprevalence of Toxocara infection in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis of a neglected parasitic threat [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases
Purpose Toxocara infection poses a significant public health threat, particularly in children. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide a global estimate of the seroprevalence of anti-Toxocara antibodies (hereafter ‘T-seroprevalence’) in

Confidence Intervals for Seroprevalence

Statistical Science, 2022
This paper concerns the construction of confidence intervals in standard seroprevalence surveys. In particular, we discuss methods for constructing confidence intervals for the proportion of individuals in a population infected with a disease using a sample of antibody test results and measurements of the test's false positive and false negative rates.

Estimating SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society, 2023
Abstract Governments and public health authorities use seroprevalence studies to guide responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Seroprevalence surveys estimate the proportion of individuals who have detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. However, serologic assays are prone to misclassification error, and non-probability sampling may induce ...

Seroprevalence of Human Malawi Polyomavirus [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2014
ABSTRACT The seroprevalence of the recently discovered human Malawi polyomavirus (MWPyV) was determined by virus-like particle-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in age-stratified Italian subjects. The findings indicated that MWPyV infection occurs early in life, and seroprevalence was shown to reach 42% in adulthood.

Seroprevalence of Noroviruses in Swine [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT Noroviruses (NVs) are important human pathogens that cause acute gastroenteritis. Genetically related animal enteric NVs have also been described, but there is no evidence of interspecies transmission of NVs. In this study we characterized antibody prevalence among domestic pigs by using recombinant capsid antigens of two human NVs ...
