requires accurate estimates of diagnostic test performance to optimize their efficiency. The
objective of this study was, through statistical meta-analyses, to obtain estimates of
sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp), for 14 different ante-mortem and post-mortem diagnostic
tests for bTB in cattle. Using data from a systematic review of the scientific literature
(published 1934–2009) diagnostic Se and Sp were estimated using Bayesian logistic …
