Frequency of diagnostic test positivity in association with overall clinical score. Clinical scores were assessed for all 48 dogs during the cohort study at each of the five time points. These observations were stratified into three categories: clinical scores in the range of 0–3, 4–7, and > 7. Each of these clinical score categories were evaluated with regard to positivity on each of the five different diagnostic methods (different shades of blue). Positivity on rLci5 ELISA was compared to the other four diagnostic methods using McNemar’s test in accordance with the three different clinical score categories (**P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001)
