Accuracy, acceptability, and feasibility of diagnostic tests for the screening of Strongyloides stercoralis in the field: the ESTRELLA study

Raw data from the diagnostic study ESTRELLA. The primary objective of this study was to estimate the accuracy of five tests - a recombinant antigen- rapid diagnostic test (RDT); a crude antigen-based ELISA (Bordier ELISA); an ELISA based on two recombinant antigens (Strongy Detect ELISA); a modified Baermann method; an in-house real-time PCR for <em>Strongyloides stercoralis</em> infection. Secondary objectives were acceptability and feasibility of use in an endemic area. The study was carried out in remote villages of Ecuador
