  1. Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, n = number of sera that tested positive, N = number of sera evaluated.
  2. *154 canine serum samples tested positive for VL in culture and were obtained from three participating INCT-DT laboratories.
  3. **7 out of 154 canine serum samples were not considered under ELISA due to inconclusive test results.
