Required specificity and sensitivity for adequate and ideal decision-making when deploying LFA and Ab-ELISA/plasma in the presence of both logistic and budget constraints. The table summarizes the sensitivity and specificity for the LFA and Ab-ELISA/plasma to achieve adequate ( and ) and ideal program decision-making ( = 5% and = 10%). Each of these combinations result in a total survey cost that does not exceed that of a Baermann-based survey (assuming a specificity of 98% and sensitivity of 50% for the Baermann method). Ab-ELISA/plasma: Ab-ELISA assays that are based on plasma. Note that the blank cells indicate that there were no combinations of sensitivity and specificity that resulted in sufficiently low risk of incorrect decision-making.
