Disentangling the effects of intermittent faecal shedding and imperfect test sensitivity on the microscopy-based detection of gut parasites in stool samples. by Lana C E Ferreira-Sá, Eleuza R Machado, Rodrigo Gurgel-Gonçalves, Fernando Abad-Franch

“…Disentangling the effects of intermittent shedding and imperfect sensitivity on pathogen detection would help us better understand transmission dynamics, disease epidemiology, and diagnostic-test performance. Using paediatric Giardia infections as a case-study, here we illustrate a hierarchical-modelling approach to separately estimating the probabilities of host-level infection ([Formula: see text]); stool-sample-level shedding, given infection ([Formula: see text]); and test-level detection, given infection and shedding ([Formula: see text]).…”
