Hypothesized parameter prior distributions for rhesus cytomegalovirus and simian foamy virus used in Bayesian model to calculate estimated sensitivity and specificity for swab and rope collection methods.

1RhCMV, rhesus cytomegalovirus; SFV, simian foamy virus.
2Estimated prevalence of viral oral shedding.
3Prior medians represent estimated values for parameters. Estimates are based on available published literature [21, 51] and expert opinion from the California National Primate Research Center.
4Beta priors form the probability distribution for the prior medians.
