Estimated sensitivity and specificity of rope and swab sample collection techniques for the detection of rhesus cytomegalovirus and simian foamy virus based on a Bayesian analysis in the absence of a gold standard.

1RhCMV, rhesus cytomegalovirus; SFV, simian foamy virus. 2Sensitivity and specificity were estimated by using a “two dependent test, one population, no gold standard” Bayesian model.
